Remain what you are – friendly, courteous, polite and dignified
Travel in small groups – three to five persons with both genders present.
Bring a book to read when using public transportation – you will not be the only person reading and it is an easy way to fit in.
Make a photo copy of your passport and credit card numbers and keep them separate from your passport and credit cards – give a copy to your family.
Bring your prescription drugs with you in their original containers – don’t pack them in your check in luggage. Also bring additional contacts/glasses or your corrective lens prescription with you.
If you require medicine containing habit-forming substances carry a doctor’s certificate attesting to this fact.
Notify a foreign contact of any medical issues including food allergies.
Carry some identification – a tag, bracelet, or card – if you have a medical condition that might require emergency care.
Understand completely what your health insurance covers and does not cover while you are traveling. Chances are that you will have to pay for services and get reimbursed when you return home unless you have purchased HTH Worldwide Insurance Services, and obtain treatment from an HTH approved physician.
