Is it Safe

This is a question that everyone will ask themselves. This is also a question that only you and your family can answer. The word “safe” has a different meaning and threshold depending on your personal experiences and thoughts.

If we have any questions before traveling, we check the US State Department website to read alerts on the country or region we are researching. Within their website, there is a form you can complete that informs the state department of the dates and locations of your upcoming travel. Also, when traveling out of the country, it is a good idea to know where the nearest US consulate is located in relation to your travels. This can come in handy if you have passport issues along the way.

We pay attention to the news and check local media outlets on the internet to see if there are problems we need to be aware of at the destination we are heading. If you are not comfortable traveling to an area due to information you found, move on to another destination. Things may change in the future….
