Traveling to foreign areas is a wonderful and enjoyable pastime. This article will guide you through your journey.
Edit Steps
- 1Decide which country you would like to visit. Try checking out some landmarks online, as you will want something to see when you arrive. Some examples are Big Ben in London and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.
- 2Apply for a passport, if you don't have one already. If you are unsure about where to apply, go to this website.
- 3In case of an emergency, you should tell friends and family about your trip so they know where you are.
- 4Make sure that you are healthy before you go, as some countries do not provide adequate medical service. You should tell your doctor about the trip so he or she can advise you about the area and tell you some things you may need to know.
- 5Make certain that any citizenship certificates and identification cards that the country requires are with you before you go.
- 6Try to arrive as early as possible at the airport, in case you run into traffic along the way or the lines at the security booths are long.
- 7That's it! After you have gone through security and boarded the plane, you are now en route to your foreign area of choice! Congratulations!
Edit Tips
- Tell your friends and family your exact address in the foreign country, in case you become ill or they need to find you for some reason.
Edit Warnings
