Before travelingGet to know your destination When travelling abroad, you need more information and preparation than for a domestic trip. You need information ranging from the country’s history, customs, religion and politics, to crime, climate, diseases and more. A little more detailed intelligence-gathering is highly recommended, especially when travelling to higher risk regions and for longer stays abroad. You can use a simple Google search or consult www.ui.se.
