Research Destinations

Travel websites like Travel + Leisure and U.S. News frequently post articles about top travel destinations so you can always get some great information and ideas.

Along with researching and narrowing down which destination you’d like to visit, be sure to also research more about the place you choose, especially if you’ll be traveling internationally. Find out local laws, customs, medical care, and visa requirements. Additionally, you’ll want to make sure there aren’t any travel warnings or travel alerts which could hinder your plans. Travel.State.Gov (U.S. Department of State – Bureau Of Consular Affairs) is a great resource for international travel information. Also make sure you bring contact information for the closest U.S. consulate or embassy. They’ll be able to help you in the event of an emergency 24/7.

No one wants to be without a safe place to rest while on vacation, which is why it’s paramount to book your lodging with as much notice as possible. Whether you plan on staying in a hotel, Airbnb or a motel, be sure to do your research to ensure the lodging you choose is safe.

Schedule Activities/Excursions

Horseback riding, paragliding, sailing, snorkeling, food tours, sightseeing – there is so much to do and see while on vacation! Before you embark on your trip, research fun activities and things you must do or see while visiting the area. By planning your activities in advance, you’ll be able to maximize the short time dedicated to your trip.
