China has a block on all social media, WhatsApp, Google search engines, gmail etc when using wifi however you can access them when using the mobile network though this does require the use of mobile data. If you wish to have access when on wifi then the use of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) App will help you though once again China tries to block these too. We find Betternet, Hexatech, Express VPN and others do work at times so its best to download an app before you depart. Facetime and text messaging are both accessible without issue over wifi.

Most venues provide complimentary Internet. Please be careful when using your mobile devices for internet connection as the cost may be excessive. Check with your provider before departure.

Your passport MUST have 6 months validity from your date of departure for your trip. We recommend that you obtain a new passport well in advance of departure or when applying for any visas.

This really does depend on your country of travel. As a general rule, vaccinations are not required. We recommend you enquire with your GP about the need for specific inoculations that relate to your own circumstances and destination of travel.

We suggest taking some of your own currency which you can easily change at the hotel’s reception desk. Note that when withdrawing local currency at an ATM fees can be high so check with your bank first. Using a local money exchanger often provides a more favorable rate but be very careful to ensure they have given you the correct amount of money. We find exchange services at airports to be an expensive way to buy local currencies.

Visa requirements vary from country to country. We would be delighted to provide you with information in relation to your specific destination, however as person's circumstances can vary, the ultimate responsibility in relation to Visa requirements falls with each individual.
