With trips to the United Kingdom, France, China, and Canada under my belt and having just gotten back from a vacation in Japan last month, I hope my tips for having a great experience in a foreign country will help you!

  1. Find someone to pick up and drop you off at the airport to avoid being charged for long term parking.
  2. Make any reservations beforehand for living accommodations so you will not be frantically searching a for hotel in the middle of the night.
  3. Change your cash into the country’s currency so you won’t be charged as much for exchanging at a currency exchange.
  4. Plan out your schedule ahead of time but don’t be afraid to be flexible.
  5. Respect the country’s culture and their views.
  6. Most importantly, have fun and try to learn something from the experience.
