Spring Break Safety
In-room safe deposit and money
belt
Do not leave valuables unattended or place all
your money and passport in your bag. Keep
your belongings in a safe deposit at the hotel
and wear a money belt. It is safer to place important documents, credit cards and cash in the
money belt.
Don’t get drunk
In Germany, legal drinking age is 16. For countries like Spain, Belgium and Austria, 16 year
olds are allowed to purchase alcohol. Most
countries’ legal drinking age is 18. If your teen
is 18, they are at a legal age to drink in almost
all the countries in Europe, Caribbean Islands,
Central and South America.

Traveling gives young people the mental break
they need to rest, study, and work more efficiently. A family trip abroad can help re-energize your children while you make sure they’re
safe.
Emergency Kit
Teens need to take care of their health even
when they travel. Pack an emergency kit with
multivitamins, essential oils for nausea, motion
sickness, diarrhea, headache, sores, aches, insect
bites and more. We bring fever reducing overthe-counter medication too.
