Isn't this the basis of zomb100? Where his work life was so shit that when a literal zombie apocalypse happened he finally started living the life he wanted. And it wasn't that he dreamt of survival and shooting dead people,, just a bucket list of cool things to do.
You'll want one of your own. Medications, personal items you want to have. Not general line items like clothes and meds. Specifying is important. Write down stuff like 1 week of anti allergies meds, 2 pairs of pants, 6 t-shirts etc. You would think that there's no way you would forget something important. Then you remember on the way to the airport and it'll ruin the start of your trip.
Calculate based on how long you intend to be overseas to see how many clothes and meds you need. If you have an essential medicine like insulin pack extra in case delays happen. Have emergency medicine like for fever and diarrhoea just in case.
Portable charger and also your own wired chargers. Check what kind of power points the country will use and buy an adaptor if needed.
Buy travel insurance. If you have a delay you will need it. Check what the insurance covers as well to ensure it meets your needs. You mainly want something to cover last minute cancellations and flight delays that could force you to spend more than you intended. But also stuff like medical repatriation, lost luggage etc.
Get the details of the nearest embassy for your country. Write the contact details down so in an emergency you can get in touch.
Anyway, don't stress. 99% of the time all this won't be needed but for that 1% the extra effort you put in to have this ready will help you handle things better.
Create a checklist of things to pack, bring or prepare. Helps to know you definitely packed 3 sets of clothes and have your passport ready.
Keep all your paperwork in a file easily accessible. Try to print stuff if you can because that doesn't run out of battery.
If you're the type to fret over prices, have a currency exchange rate ready so you know how much things will cost in your currency. Just a good mental shorthand reference. Have it be what you exchanged it for at the time not whatever the current rate is.
I like how Pathfinder 2E does it. A 20 brings your result one tier higher. A 1 brings your result one tier lower. With a high enough base expertise, you can still succeed when rolling a 1, just not as awesome as you normally are. And a 20 isn't a guarantee against really strong foes.

Yeah, I'm also having this issue. Didn't realise it was downloading the image until I read here and checked.
I have the same image downloaded 3 times multiple times because I didn't realise this was happening. Hope it can be fixed soon.
