If you’re thinking of traveling outside of the United States for the first time, you might ask, “What are hostels?”—“What’s a passport card?”—and “How do I deal with jet lag?” Traveling to and in a foreign country may seem daunting and maybe even scary. When I did my first solo trip to a foreign country, I did not know what I was doing. I got ripped off and made a few mistakes here and there. However, I learned from my mistakes. As a result, I created this course. I’ll guide you through what you need to know, what to do in order to prepare for your overseas trip, and how to be a scam-aware American traveler. My goal is to provide the crucial information that you need in order for you to make your first oversea trip.
