BermudaPicture yourself basking in the afternoon sun on a pink sandy beach in Bermuda. Thousands visit every year to this Atlantic island getaway for laid back sophistication! My most recent trip to Bermuda was in 2015.

tips on traveling outside the united states
I love traveling abroad as much as I love traveling within the United States. However, I want you to be safe and be a good representative of your home country. Even in places that are very friendly to Westerners, remember that you are in a foreign country. Understanding local customs is critical. So, here are a few tips as you prepare for your adventure.
- Call The US Embassy and tell them you are leaving the country. That way your country is aware of your whereabouts in case of emergency.
- Carry only the credit cards you are using to charge expenses. Call those cards before you leave. Do not travel with your debit cards.
- Clean out your wallet or purse and carry only what you need.
- Solve your mobile phone situation befre you depart.
- Keep all medications with you in your carry on.
- Leave a photo copy of all your travel documents (passport, itinerary, copy of your credit cards) with a friend or at your home.
- Do not travel with expensive jewelry.
- Make sure you travel with a valid passport or visa (if required). Also, bring another valid form of photo I.D., and photocopies of both I.D.s. in case of loss or theft.
- Read up on local laws and practices before you get here.
- Be a respective guest of the local customs and obey the local laws.
- If English is not the primary language, then familiarize yourself with key phrases and make attempts in the country's primary language. Locals usually appreciate the effort.
- Keep luggage, handbags or backpacks in view at all times.
- Keep possessions close to your body.
- Don’t take around large amounts of cash.
- Avoid wearing expensive jewellery on road trips or excursions.
