Bring a copy with you, stored separately from the original documents, but leave another with a friend or relative. Also consider enrolling in The U.S. Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), a free service for U.S. citizens and nationals traveling abroad. The STEP program allows travelers to enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate, which can assist during an emergency, such as a lost or stolen passport. For more information, visit step.state.gov/step. LIMIT SHARING ON SOCIAL MEDIA Summer vacation photos are always great to share with friends and family, but be careful posting updates on social medial about your trip when you’re on your trip. Posting while you are away lets others know you’re not home. Instead, wait until you get home to share. You don’t want to tell everyone your home is vacant for a week. SUMMER 2019 19 FLYWASHINGTON.COM
