One resource to check before traveling overseas is the U.S. Department of State. The consular information sheets and travel warnings published by this government organization contain some useful information for travelers. You can find countries that are dangerous for Americans, locations of U.S. Embassies or Consulates in the countries you plan to visit, and information on crime, security, drug penalties, minor political disturbances, passports, currency, medicines, and what to do if you get into trouble in a foreign country.<\/p>\n
