Tip:
Whilst travelling overseas make sure you know where your Country Embassy is. Keep yourself informed about current world issues and keep in contact with family and friends - provide them with your current travel plans. In today's WWW world there are Internet Cafes almost everywhere so keeping in contact with your family and keeping up to date on world happenings is much easier.
