IT IS YOUR DREAM OVERSEAS
VACATION.
IT IS A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS COLLEGE
STUDENT TO STUDY ABROAD.
ZACHARY SUFFERED A SEVERE FALL
IN MEXICO.
HE THOUGHT HIS BLUE CROSS BLUE
SHIELD POLICY COVERED MEDICAL
CARE ABROAD.
IT DID NOT.
HIS FAMILY SPENT $100,000 ON
HOSPITAL BILLS AND AN AIR
AMBULANCE TO BRING HIM HOME.
HE DIED ON A GROUP TRIP TO
JAPAN.
THEY FOUNDED THE NONPROFIT TO
HELP TRAVELERS UNDERSTAND WHAT
THEY NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THEY
OR THEIR LOVED ONES TRAVEL
OVERSEAS.
CHERYL JOINS US RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE
DREAM.
YOU HAVE GOTTEN OVERWHELMED
WITH QUESTIONS IN THE PAST FEW
MONTHS.
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THAT, BUT
BECAUSE OF THE SHARP FAMILY FROM
WHAT IOWA.
MOST IMPORTANT THING TO
UNDERSTAND IS THAT THERE IS NO
CONSUMER PROTECTIVE SYSTEMS.
TRAVELING ABROAD IS AN EXCITING
ENTICEMENT.
WE ALL HAVE VACATION BRAIDS WE
NEED TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT A
SAFETY PLAN THAT WE KNOW HOW TO
VET OUR DESTINATIONS.
AND THE SAFETY TRAINING PROGRAM
HELPS US BE SAFETY.
WE HAVE SUPER SKILLS TO TRAVEL
THE WORLD.
HAS THIS COURSE --
DISCOURSES ON THE WEBSITE.
THERE IS A QUIZ THAT IS FREE ON
YOUR WEBSITE.
THERE IS A LINK ON THE WEBSITE
TO YOUR WEBSITE.
LET'S TAKE SCENARIO 1. HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENT OR COLLEGE
STUDENT HAS THE CHANCE OF A
LIFETIME TO STUDY OVERSEAS AND
MORE AND MORE KIDS ARE DOING
THIS.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE STEPS
FAMILIES SHOULD TAKE?
A THING THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING IS THAT YOU HAVE TO
REALLY THAT YOUR PROGRAM.
THERE AREN'T TOO MANY LAWS.
NO PROGRAM HAS TO REPORT TO HOW
MANY ILLNESSES, INJURIES, OR
DEATH THEY'VE HAD A PRIVATE --
ON PRIOR DEATHS.
THE COST SHOULD BE ABOUT 5 TO
10% OF YOUR TRIP TO HAVE THE
MEDICAL INSURANCE.
BECAUSE OF THE FE RPA LAWS, YOU
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE
INFORMATION.
YOU MAKE SURE THAT THE
PASSPORTS HAVE AT LEAST SIX
MONTHS AVAILABLE.
YOU NEED A PASSPORT THAT PASSES
THE VALIDITY RULE.
ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE COVERED
IN THE TRAVEL SAFETY SAVVY
QUIZ.
FEWER THAN 5000 PEOPLE SCORED
MORE THAN FIVE RIGHT ON THE
QUIZ. ONE OF THE THINGS, LIKE
IN TYLER'S CASE, IS ONE OF THE
ISSUES IS THAT NEITHER HE NOR
ANYONE ELSE IN THE GROUP NEW
THE JAPANESE EQUIVALENT OF THE
EMERGENCY NUMBER.
IT IS NOT 911 IN EVERY COUNTRY.
IT IS 119 IN JAPAN.
KNOWING THE EMERGENCY NUMBER IS
NOT ENOUGH.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE DIFFERENT
NUMBERS FOR FIRE, POLICE, AND
AMBULANCE.
AND HAVE TO KNOW IF YOU WILL BE
ARRESTED FOR REPORTING.
YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ASK FOR
HELP AND IDENTIFY YOUR LOCATION
IN THE LOCAL LANGUAGE.
WAS TALK ABOUT ANOTHER
SCENARIO.
A FAMILY HAS A DREAM VACATION
AND DECIDES TO RENT IN AIRBNB
IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.
WE HEARD ABOUT THE SHARP FAMILY
WHO PASSED AWAY.
THERE WAS A RUSTY HINGE AND
SEAL THAT IS VERY COMMON IN THE
CARIBBEAN.
IT ALLOWED FOR THE LEAK TO
OCCUR.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU AS A
FAMILY ARE TRAVELING OVERSEAS
AND ARE RENTING SOMEPLACE?
I BRING A LOT OF THINGS WITH
ME.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT I
BRING IS SAFETY LOCK.
THIS IS A LOT.
YOU CAN USE JUST A DOORJAMB.
FITS INTO THE SIDE OF THE DOOR
AND THEN IT LOCKS TOGETHER SO
THAT NOBODY WITH THE KEY OR A
PASSCODE CAN GET INSIDE MY
DOOR.
I HAVE RENTED HOTEL ROOMS WITH
THE LITTLE BAR THE FLIP ACROSS
DOES NOT WORK.
WHAT IS THIS THAT YOU ALSO
BRING?
I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT OF
THIS.
THIS IS A LIFESTAR.
ONE THING WE CANNOT LIVE
WITHOUT IS SAFE WATER.
THIS LITTLE FILTER CAN FILTER 2
TO 50 OR MORE GALLONS OF WATER.
I HAVE NEVER HAD TO USE IT.
I NEVER WANT TO HAVE TO USE IT,
BUT I WAS HAVE A WITH ME SO I
CAN HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER.
NINE OF THE ALSO BRING A
PORTABLE CARBON MONOXIDE
DETECTOR AS WELL.
ALL THAT INFORMATION IS ON
YOUR WEBSITE.
