● Traveling to new countries can be thrilling and informative.

● There’s nothing quite like the feeling of stepping off of a plane and into a new and exciting locale.

● But when you get there, there are a couple well-known rules to help keep your vacation or excursion a pleasant one.

● First, it’s important to keep your passport with you at all times.

● Although small, this document can help identify you as a native citizen of your home country and will prove invaluable in a variety of situations overseas, including when health emergencies arise.

● Make sure to keep your passport hidden away or on your person at all times when abroad.

● You may even choose to bring copies of the passport in case you lose the original.

● Second, it may also be helpful to locate your home embassy when you arrive at your destination.

● For United States citizens, the U.S. Department of State maintains a complete listing of embassies on their website.
