The First-Time Traveler's Survival Guide: A Reference for the Rest of Us

Do you cringe wherever anybody suggests traveling Internationally? Is it safe? How do I pack? Where do I get my money converted? How much money should I carry?
If these questions haunt you, then I have good news for you!
This brief travel guide book distills the practical knowledge from my many overseas travels into a useful and fun guide. I won't guarantee that every trip you take will go as smooth as glass, but I do guarantee that if you follow what I'm about to share with you, most of your anxieties and potential troublesome spots will be minimized.
There are only a few rules that you must assiduously follow:
a. You must carry the proper documentation.
b. You must show up on time.
c. You must be prepared to have fun!
I'm going to share with you a number of tips and techniques that I've found to make my overseas travels marvelous experiences. Everything in this guide has been put into actual practice, including the converse: I've learned from my mistakes and you'll have the benefit.
As a practical example, I've selected a two-destination overseas trip for us. We'll leave the United States for Europe, spend time in one city, then travel to another city where we'll enjoy the town, then we'll fly back to the United States.
Let s plan it! In our make-believe trip we'll fly from New York, New York to Barcelona, Spain, changing planes in Paris, France. Then after a four day visit in Spain, we'll take a train to Rome, Italy. Our return trip will be from Rome to New York with a change of planes in Munich.
In fact, following these guidelines, this travel guide is good for any travel destination anywhere in the world.
My favorite destinations are: Portugal, Italy, Paris, London, Italy, Spain, Rome, Singapore, Beijing, and Manila.
