What do I need to prepare for going to America? American travel guide

When you travel to America, you must be prepared. Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about the preparations for going to the United States. The most important thing is definitely the visa, but Bian Xiao won't elaborate. You can find your own strategy.

Phone card/phone card

China Telecom's prepaid card is recommended in the United States. As long as it is 9.9 on Netease koala, the card is valid within 30 days after activation, and there is no need to recharge it after activation. Package: China-US international call 1000 minutes, unlimited traffic (4G traffic limit 1.5GB). The calling card will be activated within 60 days after receiving the goods, otherwise it will be invalid. Don't buy it too early. One card is usually enough. There will be wifi where I live, and the internet speed is not bad. Calling cards can be used to register Uber and Raffles, and new users can enjoy two discounts of $ 5-6 per order.

Electric cooker, kettle, conversion head

If you stay in the United States for a long time, if you can cook in a hotel, you can bring a rice cooker and a kettle, or you don't need a rice cooker. During the security inspection, you may be stopped for inspection. The kettle must be ready, because Americans are not used to drinking hot water. Some homestays have hot water bottles, while others don't. The hotel definitely didn't. You can buy a collapsible kettle, which is very convenient. The voltage used in the United States is 1 10V, and all household appliances are 220V. The converter can solve this problem.

travel insurance

Travel insurance is highly recommended. Although many people say it's useless, isn't this the biggest advantage? Travel insurance generally includes Ping An, Meiya and Allianz. You can compare the options and recommend Allianz. The original 20-day premium is 50% off for 540 yuan and UnionPay Platinum Credit Card. Finally, it was insured in 270 yuan. The insured amount of this policy can reach 500,000 yuan for accidental death and disability, and 6,543,800 yuan for emergency medical transportation and repatriation.

Sunscreen clothing, sunscreen

The temperatures in new york, Los Angeles and San Francisco are very comfortable, but I need to close the door and cover it with thick quilt gum in San Francisco, while the highest temperature in Washington, D.C. is above 35, and the temperature in Las Vegas is 40. However, it's hot and humid here, so it's not easy to get heatstroke, but we still need to prepare heatstroke prevention drugs. The ultraviolet rays here are very strong. It is suggested that physical sun protection is more important. Bringing a good sunscreen is better than anything else.

Cash, credit card

For safety reasons, people should not bring a lot of cash. Mobile payment is not popular in America, but credit cards are still very useful. VISA and MASTERCARD can be used in supermarkets, gift shops, restaurants and subway ticket machines. Basically, $400 is a lot. Everyone should also pay attention when handling cards. Some cards have discounts. For example, the Pufa Priceless World Card and CCB Premium Card organized by MasterCard can be cashed back 1%, and CCB has an additional 8% credit card swiping activity. Of course, activities change, and finally it's up to you. You'd better prepare a UnionPay card. With UnionPay card, you can visit the Metropolitan Museum of New York for free, and you can also get exclusive coupons for various outlets.
