• Don’t forget to prepare a lot of snacks because you need to eat when you are hungry, and you need to eat when you are bored either. 
• Ask if the bus is equipped with charging ports or not in advance. If they have, that’s good but if they don’t, remember to fully charge all your electric stuff before getting on board. 
• On every stop-over, get out of the bus and try as many local cuisines as you want, these foods are so mouth-watering.
• Always keep the most important personal documents with you, make some copies of these documents and divide money into many pockets then hide them in different places. No one wants a bad situation, but if it happens, you already have your backup.
