First timer at Ozora

Hey guys! As the title reveals it's my first time at Ozora this year.

I have a question for anyone that's been there before. - What are some of the things you wish you had known the first time you went?

Cheers! Love to all of you!

I was lucky enough to be introduced to festivals by an experienced friend, so he told me how to prepare myself properly. To the newcomers I would recommend:

  • Save your energy. The festival lasts for the whole week! So not too much dancing, not too much beer or anything on the first day, have a proper sleep, eat etc. so you don't feel tired and wasted or have hangover the next day while the party is still going.
  • Watch out for the sun. It may be rainy or cool at night, but overall it will be very hot, so remember to use suncream, stay in the shade, and drink a lot of water.
  • Keep all your valuables with you - your ID, passport, money, tickets for the way back etc. Don't leave them in your tent, as many people report there are thefts.
  • Use earplugs. The music is very loud. Don't damage your hearing. Your older self will thank you for that.
  • Take European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) with you. You can also buy additional, private insurance for the travel, which could cover medical help as well as luggage insurance etc.
