Should You Register Before Traveling Abroad?
In an ever changing world with so much going on and not always positive things, considering registering with your government before you leave on vacation is something to start considering if you haven’t before! No one could have dreamed how important it would be to get home than those who were abroad in March of 2020! So next time you get ready to travel, potentially register so your government knows how to reach you if necessary or at the very least, ensure you are prepared with your governments consulate information in case of an emergency!

Jenn and Ryan did a layover in Iceland on their honeymoon but it was built into their itinerary. It scares us a little but also fascinates us – a mini-trip within a trip if you are able to! Exciting!
