Hello Friends! Slip away to an upscale island paradise in Bermuda. I was lat in the territory in 2015 with CruiseOne and made a few videos of my experiences. Picture 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! Bermuda is an island territory located in the Atlantic Ocean about 650 miles east (to southeast) off the North Carolina coast. Plan to have fun! Erik |

I love traveling abroad as much as I love traveling within my home country of the United States. However, I want you to be safe and be an excellent representative of your home country. Even in places that are very friendly to visitors, remember that you are in a foreign country and understanding local customs is critical. So, here are a few tips as you prepare for your adventure.
- Before you depart from your home country, call The US Embassy (or your home country embassy) and tell them you are leaving your home country. That way they are aware of your whereabouts in case of emergency.
- Carry only the credit cards you are using to charge expenses. Call those credit card companies 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 before you depart. Usually a phone call to your provider will get you started.
- 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 jewelry on road trips or excursions.
