As someone who has barely left my own state, this was a goldmine of information. If I ever travel abroad (It's on my bucket list), I'll come back here for pointers.

Feel free to send me an email, also, DW. “When”, not “if”...

Excellent article! Even though I've traveled a lot in the past, I find this current, succinct and clear--thank you, John!

Brilliant! No, I am not a Brit...lol. This is simple, direct (always appreciated, being butt hurt is my problem and no one else's problem or business) and clear...hence the use of "Brilliant". Even for a seasoned traveller these are great reminders. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words. I have a t-shirt that says "I'm only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand", so I especially like your take on "butt hurt".

Great breakdown. I will ‘level up’ your excellent advice to bring $100 usd bills by saying to make sure they are clean and crisp. Old ratty bills sometimes won’t be exchanged. Again, great article for new travelers.
