In this episode we started out planning to cover all the things you need to know for your first time traveling internationally but we quickly realized we're going to need a whole series to cover everything.  SO, welcome to Part 1 in our series on International Travel:  Passports/Visas.  Note:  All the information links below go directly to the government websites.  For information on getting your passport, click HERE for the official government website. For information on whether you need a Visa for the country you're visiting, click HERE and search your destination in the "Learn about your destination" search box on the right.   Join STEP HERE.  The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service to allow U.S. citizens and nationals to enroll their trip abroad so the Department of State can accurately and quickly contact them in case of emergency.
