While Abroad
Check Into the Hotel and Survey Your Room
You have safely arrived at your hotel. You are jet-lagged and ready to check in after a long flight. However, you should follow a few last steps before resting. In the hotel check-in and room survey, you can find instructions on how to check in to your hotel and survey your room safely.
Traveling in Country
When you travel by car or taxi, there could be situations during which your safety is at risk. For example, unsafe road conditions, untrained or unlicensed drivers, drivers operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and poorly maintained vehicles are all factors that could jeopardize your safety. In the travel safety guidelines, you can find some Travel Safety Guidelines for driving a car or traveling by taxi.
Maintain Your Health While Abroad

Review your Emergency Contact Information
