Travel Guidelines and Advisories

 

Planning to Travel Internationally? Start with Smart Research.

Before you book your trip abroad, it’s important to take a few key steps to ensure a smooth and safe journey.


Your first step should always be to research the safety and current travel advisories for your destination. Understanding local conditions, political climates, and health guidelines can help you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected issues.


Taking the time to review these regulations in advance can save you time, money, and stress.  To access the U. S. State Department's travel advisories click here

Travel Documents

Every country has rules about how people can come across its borders.   Many countries also have specific entry requirements, such as:

  • Limits on how long you can stay without a visa
  • Rules about what you can and cannot bring into the country
  • Requirements for vaccinations or travel insurance  


For the most current information about travel documentation, visit the U. S. State Department.

Money Matters

Before you travel, make sure you'll be able to pay for goods and services without any issues.  It's a good idea to take at least two credit cards with you.  Call your credit card company before you travel to let them know when and where you'll be travelling.  


 

In addition to cards, it’s also a good idea to carry some local currency for small purchases, tips, or places that don’t accept cards. Your bank or credit union can help you order foreign currency in advance, often at better rates than airport kiosks.


A little preparation goes a long way in helping you avoid payment hassles and enjoy a stress-free trip.  You can also obtain exchange rate information and order currency online from services like Travelex.

Packing Checklist

What should you take with you?   Use our packing checklist to make sure you have everything you need.

Should you bring your pet with you?

First, you have to ask yourself if you pet likes to travel.  Second, you have to find out if your destination allows pets.  For foreign travel, that includes understanding the quarantine rules before you fly.  And your pet might need a passport for some destinations.  Check out Pet Travel for more information.

Travel Apps

Citymapper - find your way easily around major cities.


Google Translate - When travelling abroad, you'll likely come across a shop or restaurant where no one speaks English.  Google Translate can help whether you need a couple of words or take a photo of a menu or sign for a full translation.
