Planning your very first trip abroad? Start here!

Taking your first international trip can feel overwhelming, but picking a destination with world-class transit, easy logistics and approachable travel infrastructure will make your trip far more manageable.

Swipe to see the four countries I recommend for first-time international travelers.

Oh, and I have an important credit card tip! Before heading overseas, double-check that your credit card charges 0% foreign transaction fees so you aren't paying an extra 3% on all those international purchases! There are plenty of great no annual fee credit cards that ALSO don’t charge foreign transaction fees!  That’s one of the most easily avoidable expenses that too many people end up paying for!

What countries do you recommend for first-time international travelers? Tell me in the comments!

I’d never left the country before studying abroad in Spain when I was 20. It was life-changing and I’d put it on a first-time travel list for sure! Flamenco, tapas, Gaudi, the Catedral de Sevilla, Holy Week, carnival in Cadiz, Gibraltar👌

We went to Norway when i was 11! My dad had business there: we camped on an island for midsummer, went to school with the family hosting us, ate so much bread and cheese and butter!
