spend 30min reading travel blogs for that country to get a taste of context. Not travel agents; backpackers who actually talk to locals

YouTube for random videos - news, comedy, vloggers, travel vlogs, TV shows, advertisements...

learn where and how to reach embassy. Looked on LinkedIn to see who I know might be living there. Safety first

GoogleMaps/Reddit/PDF Travel Guides on phone – they have basic language stuff, emergency numbers and decent recommendations.

Probably the most important thing is to buy a local SIM or look for wifi spots beforehand.
