- Drivers license or secondary form of photo ID
- Mobile phone with Aeralo (or equivalent) eSIM

- A good credit card that’s not Amex.
- a debit card with a pin to draw Euros from BANK ATMs

Teach him about the most common scams:

-Only buy any sort of ticket from official machine or booth, never from people even in (fake) uniforms working the lines!!

-situational awareness for groups that swarm you with a distraction like to sell a trinket (to pick your pockets)

-don’t exchange money with the ‘official looking’ guy on the street offering a great rate - this is a scam and a serious crime in many countries

Teach him to never leave his bags out of sight especially at airport.

And obviously never transport ANY items for a third party for ANY reasons.

If you don’t know your limits, don’t risk getting stupidly drunk, just because you can. All bad things happen then. Stick to limiting yourself to one beer at first, stop when tipsy, don’t drive, etc.

Why such a short trip?! Eight days is not enough for those two countries. They should use their full 90 days.
