Brittany Lewis, Travel Guard Security Operations Supervisor, will be hosting our Student Travel Safety Webcast this week. What does she wish she had known before her first big trip? “I am a natural worrier, so I actually wish I had been less anxious! I have learned that I can’t prepare for everything, but I can prepare enough to travel with some confidence, which is a lot more fun.” 📅 Wednesday, March 5 at 9 a.m. CST (3 p.m. GMT) Register at https://ow.ly/3TEz50V8wvS. #DepartSmart 🎒✈️

What do our webcast speakers wish they had known before their first big trips? “I wish I’d have known how important it is to know and understand the importance of pre-travel planning, risk assessment, cultural awareness, and what to do if things go wrong. This enables safer travel and, importantly, a quicker response and recovery timeframe if you require support abroad.” Chris Griffin, Director of Organisational Risk and Resilience for the University of Southampton, will be sharing his expert knowledge with us this week! 📅 Wednesday, March 5 at 9 a.m. CST (3 p.m. GMT) Register for our Student Travel Safety Webcast at https://ow.ly/mk0k50V8w23. #DepartSmart 🎒✈️

Our guest speaker Juliana Crim, PSP knows a lot more now than when she first studied abroad, and she's using that knowledge in her current role as Global Travel Safety Manager at Rice University. "I wish I had taken things more seriously back then. I was a passive traveler; happy to just show up and figure things out as I went. However, it would have been a lot easier for me – physically, mentally, and emotionally – if I had done any research at all before I left; I could have avoided several sticky situations I stumbled into and gotten more out of my travels!" She'll be sharing her travel safety expertise at our Student Travel Safety Webcast on March 5 at 9 a.m. CST (3 p.m. GMT). Register at https://ow.ly/lbqr50V6oLr. #DepartSmart 🎒✈️

What do our webcast speakers wish they had known before their big trips? “I wish I had known how much my identity as a gay traveler could influence my experience. At the time, I didn’t fully appreciate the need to research local attitudes, laws, or even potential risks of simply being myself in a new country.” We're so excited to hear more from Ed Salvato, Professor of Tourism & Hospitality at NYU, during our Student Travel Safety Webcast!
