Helpful Tips When Traveling Abroad

You’ve booked your flight, you’re almost ready to go...but don’t leave without first reading some important “must knows” when traveling abroad in Third World countries:

1. Drink only bottled water or canned beverages. Don’t use ice! Also, dry off the outside of wet bottles and cans before using them.
2. Always brush your teeth with bottled water.
3. Be very careful about buying food or drinks from street vendors.
4. Be careful eating the food and water on your return flight.
5. Make sure you have medical coverage (travel insurance) when you are in foreign counties. Check to see what coverage is available. For more information go to www.cdc.gov/travelonline.
