For many of us, summer vacation is the time to relax, enjoy and have some fun! Many of us take vacation to popular destinations such as sunny Southern California, Hawaii, or Florida. However, we’re increasingly heading abroad for a summer trip. Even college summer-abroad programs are on the rise. All U.S. citizens should familiarize themselves with travel and safety precautions. And if things go wrong… you’ll want to know what to do to protect yourself.
The U.S. Department of State website provides valuable and helpful information for U.S. citizens travelling abroad. Here are some great resources in the event you need them:
Lost or Stolen Passports Abroad
Emergency Financial Assistance for U.S. Citizens Abroad
Sending Money to U.S. Citizens Overseas
Assistance to U.S. Citizens Arrested Abroad
Locating U.S. Citizens Abroad in the Event of an Emergency
Medical Emergencies Involving U.S. Citizens Abroad
Medical Insurance Coverage Abroad
Registering with the Embassies Abroad
Help for American Victims of Crimes Overseas
