“5 things you MUST take care of before you go”

Be sure to read every word because you could run into trouble in a foreign country if you don’t have all the entry requirements, can't access your money, or lose your medications. It's easy to take the necessary precautions. It just takes a little planning.

Do you feel overwhelmed while researching the internet? The problem is that there are bits of information scattered all over the place. When my husband and I started planning our trip, we found that there was no one place where you could get a complete overview of what you need to do before taking a trip around the world.

During our trip around the world, we kept a record of every bit of information as we went through the process of obtaining all the requirements, taking precautions, and setting up back-up plans before our trip, and while traveling from one country to the next. The result of our first-hand experience is this guide.
