Whenever I get ready to take a long distance road trip from North Carolina to New York to visit family, I almost always make a mental list (if not a written one) of the things that I do not want to forget. This list includes things such as my toothbrush, other toiletries, certain kinds of clothing (depending on what time of year it is), gifts and other knick knacks. While it is important to try not to forget the things that you need for an extended trip; more importantly, it is crucial to make sure that you also have the bare essentials in your vehicle in case you get stuck somewhere or are faced with an emergency situation. This is why it is a good idea to always have a small bin for emergencies.Emergency bins are a great idea because it gives you peace of mind in case you ever get stuck. For example, if you are traveling on the road for more than just a few hours (3+ hours), you will want to make sure that your emergency car kit includes a flashlight, first aid kit, spark plugs, a couple of flares, a sweatshirt, a pair of sweatpants, some extra socks and possibly some extra shoes, a poncho, an umbrella, an ice scraper and some non perishable food and water. Some may laugh or claim that these items are not necessary, but I can assure you that as someone who is used to traveling long distances fairly often- these items come in handy!A few years ago, what should have been a thirty minute drive home from classes turned into an eight hour ordeal as inclement weather and a bunch of anxious motorists made driving near impossible.

Traveling can be quite the pain in the neck if you are not sure what you are doing. When you are done reading this article, hopefully the next time you travel, you will be a bit more savvy in the ways of travel and have a smoother experience over all.Plan AheadThe best and foremost thing is to plan ahead. Rushing yourself, whether it comes to packing in a hurry or leaving late to the airport, almost always leads to disastrous consequences. Theres a high chance you will forget something if you pack too quickly or too late, and how will you afford to buy a new camera on vacation if you left yours at home?If you leave late for the airport, you will be constantly stressed until you reach your gate in time. You have to drive to the airport, park your car, get your tickets and still go through security. And then if you are in a hurry, there is a very good chance that you may end up behind that person at the security checkpoint who holds up the line because he is a new flier and has pockets full of objects he continually keeps forgetting to take out.

I came across a statistic the other day that shocked me: only about 10% of U.S. citizens have a passport. While I know that Americans are often criticized for ignorance about the rest of the world, I didnt realize just how little we get out and about!I know of very few things that can provide the genuine education and adventure that comes with international travel: the fascinating views, the unfamiliar smells, the undecipherable languages, the unidentifiable foods, the interesting people.
It is almost a cliche to say that travel broadens ones horizons, but sometimes cliches are as true as they are literal. Myopic, insular, narrow views cannot but be blasted by the wide vistas of the rest of the world "out there."I will not try and convince you, however, to dust off the suitcases and buy a ticket to somewhere. Instead, I would like to present to you my random list of things to know so that your international travel is the best it can be.

Every year more and more people are hitting the road for some freedom, adventure and a little relaxation. Unfortunately, every year insurance claims, assaults, and missing persons are also rising in direct relation to more mobile homes and campers on the roads.There is no need to decide against travel because life is full of risks, but what we can do to ensure we have a safer and more enjoyable experience is to make security basics a habit. Do you know what the biggest crimes are on the road?The biggest one: Site theft from parks/truck stops - unlocked doors windows, gear left unattended, clothes on the line, cars left unlocked. Who does these crimes? Opportunists, children, youth, people who manage to walk through parks unattended, and other park users who make it a small business to steal from inside the facility without being detected.How do we stop this form of crime? This is achieved by not taking security for granted and saying oh that just happens to other people Yes, it does and most likely that will be you. We need to lock up, think about what we have left lying around, and think about what we have inside the vehicles. Do we have expensive and easy to transport gear in front of windows? Money or wallets/handbags on view? Gear on the top on the vans? Alternatively, gear loosely secured to the outside of our vans? Yes, we all do in some form.A good practice is to clearly mark all items with an engraver tool and have a sticker on your window stating that all gear has been marked for police identification.
