Check destination safety!
I am always “planning” my next trip, and I am currently hitting bumps in the
road. Too many bumps and wheelchairs are never good!
My travel tip today may be obvious, scary/depressing or just not needed – but it
is informative! It is 2024 and ANYTHING could happen! You should always see if
the destination is safe or at least not in a state of emergency. Obviously, I would
not recommend traveling to the Gaza Strip right now. Or Reykjavik, Iceland
because of the active volcano.
You cannot always predict protests and riots or natural disasters, but the US State
Department does rank countries as follows (click to review list):
·Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions
·Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution
·Level 3: Reconsider Travel
·Level 4: Do Not Travel
Just be aware, the state of the world is ALWAYS changing. No matter how
good the deal is, just think twice! I know how hard it is to wait, but it just opens
the space to travel somewhere new!
