Camera Tip #37 - Foreign Travel Bonus Tips

NYC Photo Workshop Tips

Traveling abroad can be a tremendous experience, but you should always plan ahead and be prepared for some of its challenges.

Keep your passport on you at all times. Even in the shower. Get your visa before you leave. And have extra passport photos.

Keep a few extra dollars on you and local money. Make sure you have small change for taxis and drinks.

Get your equipment registered with your home immigration office so you are not charged a duty for bringing in taxable goods. If asked by a third world immigration officer about the value of your equipment play dumb and tell them you bought it second hand. And that it's old.

Never check camera equipment in checked luggage. Including any charger and cords. They are as valuable as the equipment.

Personally, I like to carry 2 ATM cards and 2 credit cards and feel that American Express Platinum is the way to go.
