Tips for those traveling abroad:

  • Paperwork: "Must-do" items before you go include having a valid
passport and getting a visa for the country if required. Visas are
subject to change and vary depending on the length of stay and
visa type (business or tourist). Check with the country's
embassy or consulate in the U.S. for the most up-to-date and
accurate information.

  • Discovery: Part of the excitement about travel is learning as
much as you can about the country and people you are visiting.
Visit the consular/foreign office web site for the country you are
visiting. Ask colleagues and friends who have traveled to the
country before for any cultural pointers.

  • Research: Do a little research beforehand. Ask your doctor prior
to travel about any required vaccinations. Make sure your cell
phone will work in the country you are visiting if you need to use
it, especially for business purposes.

  • Common Sense: In any given country, use common sense to try
to avoid putting yourself in a dangerous situation. Listen to your
inner voice and avoid public demonstrations. Do not wear
expensive jewelry, carry a lot of cash or bring unnecessary credit
cards. Try to "blend in" rather than stand out from the locals.

  • Smile: Discover the world around you when visiting a new
country and try to pick up on the customs and learn as much
about the country and people as you can. Always be polite, have
a friendly, open attitude and smile. Remember, it is a privilege
to be given the opportunity to visit your host country.

  • Time: Give yourself time to acclimate to the time change,
especially after a long-haul flight. If traveling for business, it is
especially important to leave a day earlier than required so that
you can be fresh for meetings.


  • Insurance: Your trip is important to you, whether it is a
vacation or business trip. Don't forget to protect yourself.
Although it's not likely something bad will happen, it can.
If you get hurt or sick while away from home, it could cost
Thousands of dollars to get you back home, and more
if you need to be hospitalized in a foreign country.
