Regardless of the destination, we encourage students to stay safe this Spring Break and read our tips for traveling abroad on travel.state.gov. The Bureau of Consular Affairs plans to host a Google+ Hangout on Thursday, March 12, at 1:00 pm, to discuss Travel Safety for Solo Travelers and Volun-tourists, and answer questions about Spring Break travel. More information about the Hangout will be available @TravelGov. Students can learn about Spring Break destinations at our website dedicated to student travelers:studentsabroad.state.gov, which has information on entry requirements, crime, health precautions, and road conditions. Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This program keeps students up-to-date with important safety and security announcements, such as Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and security messages. Of course, even well-prepared travelers may face an emergency, like a lost passport or an injury. In those cases, our embassies and consulates are available to help 24/7. We encourage all U.S. citizen travelers to write down the contact information for the U.S. embassy or consulate in the destination country. Members of the media who wish to speak about Spring Break safety resources with an official from the State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs are encouraged to contact CAPRESSREQUESTS@state.gov.
