World Travellers

Jay Ellenby our expert of the day, writes:

Leave copies of your passport, visa and itinerary with your office and home. If you should lose any documents you would have easy access to a copy.

Ask Safe Harbors for a country profile if you are traveling to a new destination. We can provide extensive data on weather, local customs, food, political climate and much more.

Your luggage may be searched upon entering a country, so pack accordingly. Know what items are taboo in the country you are visiting.

Be wary of anyone loitering around doors to your room, and notify the desk of your suspicions.

Do not swap or sell any personal effects, such as jewelry or religious items, in countries where it is illegal to do so.
