Know Before You Go: Tips For Traveling Abroad Www.abroaderview.org

So you managed to secure some tickets for Cusco without going broke. Or, perhaps, the Euro has eaten up your bank account - damn that exchange rate! - and you don't care, because Marrakesh is your dream city. ....
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PR Log (Press Release)Dec 03, 2008 – Either way, you're set for an exotic vacation this winter break!

Or so you think: international travel can be a pain, and we're not just talking about declaring that Sachertorte you've smuggled in your suitcase all the way from Cambodia. You have to take extra precautions, and maybe even get some extra vaccinations, depending on where you're headed. We here at ABV have thrown together a handy list for you. Just don't call us when you get pick-pocketed in Arusha - we can't help you get your wallet back.

Visit here for more information http://www.abroaderview.org

Register your passport with the U.S. Embassy: No matter where you're headed, register your passport with the U.S. Embassy in that country. If something wacky happens while you're there, officers from that Embassy will then be able to contact you and help you. Play it safe. Go to travel.state.gov and follow their simple steps.

Get your health insurance checked: Make sure that you're covered by your health insurance while you're overseas. You don't want to sprain an ankle in South Africa and have to pay for it. Trust us.

Make photocopies of important documents: Photocopy your passport, credit cards, identification cards - anything that, if you lost it or it got stolen, would leave you in a very serious bind. Accidents happen, and so does theft. If it's not in the hotel safe, have the real thing and the copy on your person in a secure pocket.

Don't be a "dumb tourist:" Learn some of the language of the country you're going to visit. At least enough to ask for a beer. And don't think that yelling in English makes natives understand you more.

Have fun: Enjoy your time abroad - this is an opportunity you might never get again! Make your friends and family back home jealous when they see your photos of Machu Picchu or the mountains in Nepal.

With these basic facts in mind, you should be all set to have a fun and fulfilling vacation, no matter where you go. Keep your head on straight, make sure you exchange your dollars for local currency, and go boldly where so many college students have gone before.
