Top Ten Travel Tips for Students
Planning a trip overseas? As a student venturing to a foreign country, it's essential to be well-prepared. Here are my top ten travel tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.
1. Secure Your Passport and Visas
Ensure your passport is signed and valid, and apply for any necessary visas. Complete the emergency information page of your passport. Carry color copies of your passport and visa details, keeping the originals safe in your hotel room.
2. Stay Informed
Read the Consular Information Sheets, along with any Public Announcements or Travel Warnings, for the countries you plan to visit. You can find these on the U.S. State Department travel website. Registering your trip online is also a smart move.
3. Share Your Itinerary
Leave copies of your itinerary, passport data, and visas with family or friends at home. This ensures they can reach you in an emergency. Also, keep your host program informed about your whereabouts.
4. Health and Safety
Have insurance that covers emergency medical needs, including medical evacuation, while abroad. If you're bringing medication, carry copies of your prescriptions.
5. Understand Local Laws
Familiarize yourself with the laws and customs of your destination. Remember, you're subject to those laws while abroad. What's legal at home might not be elsewhere, so do your research.
6. Watch Your Belongings
Never leave your luggage unattended and avoid accepting packages from strangers. Stay alert to prevent theft or involvement in illegal activities.
7. Avoid Risky Behavior
Refrain from using illicit drugs, drinking excessively, or associating with those who do. Legal penalties can be much harsher in foreign countries, so prioritize safety.
8. Be Discreet
Avoid attracting theft by wearing inconspicuous clothing and leaving expensive jewelry and excess cash behind. Stick to simple attire like nondescript shirts and jeans.
9. Exchange Money Safely
Deal only with authorized agents when exchanging currency. Banks and official currency exchanges are your best options, avoid illegal street money changers.
10. Steer Clear of Trouble
Avoid demonstrations and unruly situations that may express anti-American sentiments. Only visit government buildings or embassies if necessary. Registering with the State Department website ensures the embassy can contact you.
Use common sense and enjoy a fantastic trip abroad!
