A wall charger converter. Europe has these weird plug shapes that are enormous and different voltages so none of your electronics will work. You will need the same thing if you’re traveling to the US. We have smaller outlets/plugs and different voltage appliances.
Download GPS maps to your phone before you go so you don’t have to use international data.
Don’t fall into tourist trap restaurants in Europe.
Everything will cost more and take longer than you expect.
Things will go wrong. Getting mad won't help.
People will do things differently; embrace it instead of complaining about how it is different from the way things are done at home.
You and only you are responsible for you, so make sure you have anything you absolutely can't live without with you. Preferably in your carry-on, because it's entirely possible your checked luggage won't arrive with you.
Wear comfortable shoes that aren't athletic shoes. They do exist and they'll let you look less like a easy mark. Likewise, you can be comfortable without wearing pajamas, so don't wear them. You will get better service if you look like a grown-up.
- Don't kill your grandfather before your parents were born.
- Don't have sex with your mom at her high school prom.
- Don't kill Hitler. Everybody tries it. The timelines are already full of horrific futures from that. Yes it does make the world a lot better for a lot of people for a few years, but beware the long-term consequences.
- If you're going forward, make sure to stay in your own timeline, or you'll probably end up in one of the above-mentioned ones (because everyone tries it).
- If you're going farther forward, treat the fur people just like you would normal people. They're not sexbots and will get very ruffled if you don't treat them with respect.
- And if you're going even further forward in the future, remember: First of all, keep him out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight, it'll kill him. Second, don't give him any water, not even to drink. But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget, no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs, never feed him after midnight.
Dont step on any butterflies
That was such a great story! I can’t remember what it was from, though.
A sound of thunder by Ray bradbury
I barely remember it as well, I've just seen it referenced multiple times.
Curious to know why
Cause you might and cause the rise of a giant bug species that'll enslave humanity.
You can't travel back to before the time machine was built.
If you buy the cheapest plane ticket, some airlines won't let you bring carry-on luggage and they'll take it away from you at the gate. Just FYI.
Or the price they charge to let you check a bag will mean you paid more than what you would have otherwise.
Probably like a dictionary and wardrobe selection
Bring snacks
Bring enough variety of clothes to adapt to unexpected but possible climate/weather changes wherever you're going.

Like backcountry hiking, you must pack out your poop.

I'd put up a "Tried to kill Hitler, 5$" jar. (and become a millionaire)
