What are some things to keep in mind before traveling internationally?<|im_end|>

1. Have a decision on which place you have to visit. Traveling abroad comes with a lot of challenges, from non-English speaking countries to budget constraints. When you've decided to travel abroad, put into place these problems, and make sure you evaluate your decisions on where you stand about them, then decide on one perfect location to avoid inconvenience.
2. Check on vaccination status. There are countries where prior vaccinations against certain types of diseases are required or recommended. Visit your doctor and find out from them if you need to be vaccinated before boarding your flight to your destination.
3. Check on your passport expiration date. Many countries do not allow visitors with passports that are nearly expiring, usually the last six months till their expiration date. If yours is expiring soon, renew it before travel.
4. Having passport copies. Your passport may get lost or, worse, stolen along with your belongings. When you have copies of your passport, you will have a quick solution and not panic about what to do.
5. Register with your embassy. In case of war or any other emergency, your country's embassy will be the best place to get help. So, before traveling internationally, be sure to register with your embassy. <|im_end|>
