Tips for First Time International Travelers

So you've finally decided to see the world—congratulations! Needless to say, traveling abroad can bring a lot of excitement.    1    . To help make sure that your trip will go smoothly, follow these essential steps below:

▲Secure and double-check your passport

Your passport is the most crucial thing you need when traveling to another country. If you don't have one yet, make sure you apply for it before your expected departure. Your passport is necessary not only for your flight.    2    . Some would even hold your passport during your stay as collateral to ensure that you will be paying for your accommodation.

    3    .

Once you've decided where to go, you need to check whether or not you'll need a visa to travel. If you're not familiar, a visa is a document issued by the country or countries you're traveling to, giving you permission to visit for a specific number of days. If you visit a country that requires one, make sure that you secure it before your flight.

▲Make sure that you can access your money overseas

Thankfully, you don't need to carry cash or traveler's cheques when traveling overseas. Because of technological advancements, you can manage and access your money while traveling all over the world.

You can ask your banks about international fees and whether they have partner banks in the country you'11 be visiting.    4    .

▲Plan your clothes and pack early

    5    . And this is not very ideal. Most of the time, people tend to forget things when they pack right before a flight. Forgetting an item can be very stressful especially if you can't return to get that item anymore. If you have everything sorted out beforehand, your first trip abroad is more likely to go without unnecessary hiccups.

A.Check to see if you need a visa
B.Ensure you apply for a visa beforehand
C.It is advisable to pack your clothes early
D.However, it can also be a bit scary and stressful
E.Most men pack their clothes at the very last minute
F.This can help you save money on expensive foreign transaction fees
G.Many hotels are required to scan your passport identification page as well

【推荐1】How to make sure of safe running

We all know that running is good for your health. It may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. It also may help you live longer.     1     Here are five commonly shared ideas among fitness experts to reduce the risk of injury for people new to running or jogging.

Take it easy

    2     Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance or speed. Muscles and joints need time to recover.

Listen to your body

Most running injuries do not come out of the blue.     3     They may include body aches, sore muscles and pain that does not go away.

Get good running shoes

    4    You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.

Take good notes

Take some time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns, things that happen over and over again. For example, you may find that your knees ache when you run on consecutive(连续的) or back-to-back days. But perhaps you feel great when you rest in between running days.     5    

Cross train

As we said earlier, running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say swimming, cycling, and yoga are good exercises to combine with running. These exercises are easier on the body.

B.However, running can be difficult on the body.
C.Do not run too much, too soon or too fast.
D.There is no single best shoe for every runner.
E.It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run.
F.These notes will help you identify the best workout for you.
G.About 1,200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease or a heart attack.
