The Woman Road Warrior™ For Women Going Places

While it's hard enough to plan a trip to another town or state, going overseas presents a whole new set of challenges for a business traveler, including safety and security. But with careful planning, you can keep your worries to a minimum.

A Woman Road Warrior never leaves home without:

Verifying that all travel documents are up to date.

Passport
Visa
Vaccinations

Leaving one copy of your itinerary, travel documents, and credit cards at home and another with you in a secure place.

Making sure all international aspects of your trip have been planned:

Key foreign phrases you should know
Local currency
Customs of the city/country you're going to
Any sanction/risk warnings about your safety
Business etiquette
Time zones
Weather
Adapters and converters you'll need to run/charge your computer/iPods/smartphones

Carefully planning and packing your carry-on bag. Bring medicine, snacks and plenty of water!

Alerting your credit card company to your international travel plans.

If you find yourself in a jam while overseas, the best advice I can give is to stay calm and treat solving the problems as part of your experience. You'll realize you can deal with anything that comes your way.

See you on the road!
