Planning a trip abroad

  • Try to seem purposeful when you move about.
  • Inform yourself about a nations culture and customs.
  • Travel agents and airlines can provide tourist information.
  • Know the type of paperwork and documentation you will need to travel.
  • Make sure visa(s) are appropriate and current for place and type of travel.
  • Know addresses and telephone numbers of the embassies of foreign governments
  • Notify your credit card company if making reservations or purchases over seas
  • Know which countries can assist you with diplomatic relations before you travel.
  • Find out if your personal property insurance covers you for loss or theft abroad
  • Make sure that you purchase the correct calling card for the correct area you are traveling
  • If traveling abroad in areas of concern, consider making reservations using a false address.
  • Make sure you hook up to internet banking if you travel around Europe as ATMs don’t give bank balances
  • Ask your credit card company for a number that you can use while over seas if it has been lost or stolen
  • Have affairs in order: insurance documents, power of attorney, currant will, and guardianship arrangements
  • Many foreign airports do not allow butane lighters or hair dryers to be taken on board. Consider leaving them at home.

  • Make note of the times of sunrise and sunset and avoid being out alone at night.
