The U.S. Department of State issued a Worldwide Caution message for U.S. citizens on October 19, 2023. View this message on the US Department of State website, via the link in bio, and below.

Western Washington University’s Education Abroad (EdAbroad) office encourages all those abroad to review and follow the advice the State Department issued in its Worldwide Caution and the Travel Advisory specific to your host country.

Worldwide Caution:
Due to increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the Department of State advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution. U.S. citizens should:
• Stay alert in locations frequented by tourists.
• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive information and alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency overseas.
• Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter.

When you travel and study abroad, it is crucial to respect the host communities. Recent trends of tourists acting poorly abroad hurt host communities and can impact restrictions set on tourism.

Check out the link in bio for an article describing bad habits to avoid that emerged as a result of social media-driven tourism.

"Travel respectfully:
Remember you are a guest of the host communities when you travel. Here are some ways to ensure that you will be asked back.
1. Do your research
2. Put down your phone…
3. …or use your influence for good"
