Where is your child traveling to? Have you seen this place in the news lately? Where is the nearest U.S. Embassy to where they’ll be staying? Ensure that they realize that if there is any trouble or they feel they are in any danger at all while they are visiting that they should go directly to the nearest U.S. Embassy where they can replace lost travel documents, receive protection and assistance in returning home. Be sure to check with the U.S. State Department for travel advisories and warnings. These warnings can be found at the U.S. Department of State website (www.state.gov) or you can find a phone number in your local phone book in the government pages. Will they be traveling to a country whose primary language is not English? If so, are they proficient in the host country’s language and dialect? Will others traveling with them be proficient in the language? Are the residents of the country they are visiting friendly or unfriendly toward Americans? Will they be traveling directly to their destination from the U.S. or will they be stopping over in another country? How safe is the stopover country according to the U.S. State Department? When checking for travel advisories and warnings, always be sure to check every area covered in the trip’s itinerary.
Do Your Homework
When will they be traveling? Are there any particular dangers from weather patterns in that area during that particular time of year? Will it be their rainy, hurricane or avalanche season? Do they know what to do in the event of a natural disaster? Do you have a communication plan in place in the event that a natural disaster may occur while they are visiting? Be sure that they know they should get in touch with you immediately after any major incident, natural or unnatural, so that you’ll know that they are safe and where they will be in the aftermath.
