This site is designed for students preparing to travel internationally. As the site states, "When traveling abroad, you need more than just your backpack and flip flops. That’s where we come in. We’re here to make sure you

  1. have your travel docs,
  2. can find the nearest embassy,
  3. know what to do in an emergency,
  4. travel with insurance, and
  5. generally try not to make a "spectacle of yourself"
