We always recommend packing as light as possible. However, the specific requirements for your tour will vary widely, depending on where and when you are traveling.
As a responsible traveler, make sure that you brought your travel insurance and your first aid kit but if you get sick and need any additional help, you can visit the local doctor and he will help you.
You should use both. Credit cards are supported in the stores, but if you want to buy some gifts or souvenirs from the local stands, it is most likely that you will need cash.
Knowledge of English language is recommended but it’s not necessary.
You can go to the local tourist organizations and inquire about available tours. Be sure that they will help you find the right activities for you and groups of people with similar interests.

We strongly recommend bringing a backpack or duffel bag, as suitcases can be cumbersome and difficult to store in buses, under seats, etc. Keep in mind that you will normally have to carry your own luggage on and off buses and trains and up and down hotel staircases. Suitcases with wheels may not work well on dirt or cobblestone roads.
