Travel Abroad

If you are embarking on an extended period abroad and you are not following recognised tourist routes, it is helpful to learn as much about the country as you can. Good booksellers have a range of ‘Rough Guides’ to living in various countries which are a good source of information. It is also helpful to pick up some words in the appropriate language so you can ask for what you need and understand the answers!
