Traveling Tips When You’re Abroad: 2

travel 2When you are traveling abroad, you also need to consider your insurance. For example, it is vital to see if your medical insurance policy will apply when you are overseas and/or in another country. You need to see if it will cover any emergency expenses. If not, then supplemental insurance from your company or a third party will be necessary.

You also need to be familiar with the laws and conditions in the country where you will be staying. You can find a lot of information through the State Department.

Above all, it is crucial to be safe when you are traveling abroad. Specifically, you do not want to be the victim of any crimes. You do not even want to be a target. So, take care in wearing subtle clothing and jewelry. Do not carry too much money on you or leave your luggage unattended.

stashtea-bed-and-breakfast-free-night1If you are an avid tea drinker than you absolutely need to make sure that you read this post below.  If you like tea you can turn your daily tea into a free night stay at over 600+ U.S and Canada based bed and breakfasts.  Stash Tea is the tea that is gaining a lot of attention via this promotion and I think that is the point.  The cool thing about this promotion is that you actually get to stay somewhere that you have never been for free!  All you need to do is purchase some Stash Tea UPC’s, three to be exact along with $3.95 and they will send you a guidebook of all of the bed and breakfasts you can stay at.

However, if you are an online buyer, you can go to shopstashtea.com and spend $10.00 along with $3.95 and they will send you a catalog of all of the B&B’s you can stay at!  However, there is a catch … you do need to spend one night that you pay for at the B&B and then you get the second free … however, that is still a really good deal!

So check it out!  I know I have and I am definitely going to be staying at quite a few B&B’s in the future as the promotion is going on until June 30th, 2011!
