If you plan to drive overseas,You should check with the Embassy of the country where you plan to travel, to find out more about the driver’s license and car insurance requirements. Foreign embassy and consulate contact information can also be found on the Country Specific Information for each country.
* Pack Smart!
Pack light so you can move more quickly and have a free hand when you need it.
Carry a minimum number of valuables and plan places to conceal them.
Use covered luggage tags to avoid casual observation of your identity and nationality.
Avoid packing IDs, tickets and other vital documents in backpacks or other locations you won't be able to see at all times.
* Photocopies of Your Itinerary and Travel Documents
Make two photocopies of all your travel documents in case of emergency or if your documents are lost or stolen. Leave one copy with a friend or relative at home. It is always a great idea to let at least one person know exactly where you will be staying and how to contact you in an emergency. Carry the other copy with you stored separately from the originals.

Prepare to Handle Money Overseas
Check and understand the exchange rate before you travel.
Before you leave, notify your bank, credit card company, or other financial institutions that you are going overseas.
Avoid carrying cash and consider using traveler's checks or major credit cards instead (but make sure they are accepted at your destination before departing on your trip).
Change traveler's checks only as you need them.
Learn about local laws and customs
*Your Health
Vaccinations Are Required for Entry to Some Countries
Some countries require foreign visitors to carry an International Certificate of Vaccination (aka Yellow Card) or other proof that they have had certain inoculations or medical tests before entering or transiting their country. Before you travel, check the Country Specific Information and contact the foreign embassy of the country to be visited or transited through for current entry requirements.
If your insurance policy does not cover you abroad, consider purchasing a short-term policy that does. Many travel agents and private companies offer insurance plans that will cover health care expenses incurred overseas including emergency services such as medical evacuations.
