Entering the U.S - Travel Tips
- Make two copies of all your documents. Leave one set of copies at home and pack the other set in your luggage, separate from the originals.
- Carry your travel documents with you on the plane. You will not have access to any checked baggage until after you clear immigration!
- Always keep your property close to you, especially in crowded places like airports, bus terminals, and train stations. Make sure that you keep all valuables - camera, wallet, passport, documents, and money with you at all times. Do not let luggage out of your sight!
- Stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Try to avoid uncomfortable situations. There are some people who will recognize you as a visitor and try to exploit you, (but you'll find many more pleasant Americans than dangerous ones)!
