Why now? Why here?


From Andria Krewson:
Sarah just returned from France. Elizabeth is about to go to France. Morgan's heading for Italy, as is the other Sarah (a church friend of Sarah's).

Carson got stuck once in immigration in South America. Alex is a pro with months of travel in South America. Lydia traveled to Morocco and lived to tell the tale.

So here's a place to connect and share travel advice, outside of Facebook. Helicopter parents are welcome, though of course we don't really have helicopters. We do have the Internet, and Skype, and each other.

If this site doesn't work, no harm, no foul. If it does, all the better. Assistance from others welcome.

To start, for those leaving for a semester very soon, try OneBag.com, for how to pack. That site was recommended by someone at Quora, a Q&A site with lots of categories. It has tons of information, but it takes awhile to figure out how to navigate.
Here are direct links to two questions there:
Advice on staying safe
What shouldn't you forget for a long stay abroad?
