Top 10 Things You Should Do BeforeYou Travel Overseas

1. Register your travel plans with the State Department. It is a free online service that can be found at https://travelregistration.state.gov. This will help if there is a family emergency back at home and you need to be contacted.

2. Be sure you do your research on entry requirements to your vacation destination. Each country is different and requires different things which means you may end up filling out many forms of documentations. The earlier you take care of this, the more comfortable you will feel about your vacation.

3. Make copies of important documents like your passport and credit cards then leave a copy back home with someone you trust and bring a copy with you. If something does happen and you lose an important document you will have the necessary information to resolve any issues that may arise.

4. Contact your bank and credit card companies to let them know you will be traveling overseas if you plan to withdrawal money or put charges on your card. This will prevent them from putting a hold on your account if they believe your information has been stolen.

5. Depending on where you are going and what you are doing while you are there, be sure you are up-to-date on the different immunizations the country recommends. Most immunizations last a long time and may come in hand for future travel plans.

6. Check with your health care provider to determine whether or not you will be covered by your insurance when traveling. If not, it’s a good idea to invest in traveler’s insurance. You never know when an accident may happen and it is important to be covered, especially in a foreign country.

7. If you cannot live without specific electronics while vacationing, be sure to buy an adaptor before you go. The chances of you finding one at your destination are slim and if you do, it will most likely be expensive.

8. Learn a few key phrases of the language spoken in the country you will be visiting like how to find a bathroom or how to ask for direction. It will help you get to where you are going and will show respect to those in the country.

9. Be conscious of what you are packing. Try to bring the least amount of stuff you need for your vacation to avoid being weighted down with multiple bags if you end up having to carry them. Also, if you plan on shopping at your destination pack an extra bag in your luggage to accommodate for your new purchases.

10. If you have a long flight ahead of you plan accordingly. Try and book the best seat you possibly can for your needs. Next, be sure to bring along a comfy travel pillow, eye cover, and something to keep you busy on the plane like a book.
