Be watchful. Guard your valuables and money carefully. Consider using a money belt or wearing a neck pouch. Know how to cancel your credit cards in case they’re stolen or the num- bers compromised. Money matters. For international trips, understand exchange rates and tip- ping customs for each country on your itinerary. ATMs may offer a better exchange rate over booths or even banks. Compare before you change money. The U.S. is one of the few countries where leaving a restaurant tip is customary. Don’t over-tip if it’s not necessary. Also, research any fees your credit card company may charge for foreign transac- tions. Be flexible. You may have your heart set on leaving for your trip on Friday right after work, but you may find better airfares on Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday.

Also consider traveling during the shoulder season – a loca- tion’s off-peak travel time. Consider travel insurance. Should you get it?
