I really like how the Wolters have more and more videoes on general advice for travelling abroad, and not just country-specific good and surprising things
Preston Clark - Their advice on general travel has been the best. I can't tell you how many times they helped me and answered questions I didn't know I was going to have. There are other travel channels out there but Wolters World is the best.
I talk to a lot of people about travel and I always tell them several places to get info online and Wolters World is at/near the top for realistic travel advice that will really prepare you for being in a different environment.
Thank you.
Me too!
I agree completely. I always find it amazing that guidebooks have endless pages of restaurants that have been closed for 6 months and yet skimp on the basics of international travel
I never thought about this, it is so basic! But yes, the first couple times can be VERY overwhelming. Absolutely correct, keep your paperwork together and know your plans. Sometimes they will ask your kids questions just to make sure they really belong to you. My daughter gets it now and when they ask her questions, she just says "yes, they are my mom and dad!" Also, be polite to the passport control! You may be tired and cranky, but they can deny you entry so be a good tourist!
Well said
Also, never volunteer any 'small talk. Just answer their questions. We went through Montreal two years ago and the "pretty couple " in front of us would not stop loud talk bragging about where they went. Two people, NINE carry ons ! ( Louis Vitton, Coach, that type.I didn't think the 4 hour layover was going to be long enough . But when they got to the Customs guy, their first words were " Be careful with our stuff, we're in a hurry." Big mistake on their part. They were making them open EVERYTHING , and just when they started, asked me and my friend where we were going ( San Francisco ) and waved us through ! The "pretty couple" was on the same flight. They didn't make it. So bottom line, just answer their questions. Period. Great video BTW and why the heck does Rick Steves keep disliking your videos ??!!!!!
I practice exactly the same thing anywhere I go. One question, one answer and I never elaborate unless they ask. Some are interested in where, what, why and some are not.
It's also important to remember that even if you and the official have plenty of time and would enjoy a friendly chat, somebody behind you in line may have a tight connection that they may or may not make, depending on how long they have to be in that line.
Ditto this. I will never bring up "small talk" with an officer unless I'm absolutely positive they're in the mood _and_ there's no one waiting behind me. The only time I've done it is when I flew into Vancouver on a flight that arrived around sunset and was last in line with nobody else lined up after me, and after the CBSA officer questioned me, the only remark I made was that I hadn't seen her on Canada's "Border Security" show yet, to which she smiled and simply remarked, "no, not yet."
Exactly Steve Travels. Answer *ONLY* what the customs agent asks you. Keep your answers truthful, direct and to the point. If you ramble and volunteer information, not only does it waste time, they can get suspicious of you.
@TheRenaissanceman65 Most are hostile and rude to hostile and rude travelers.
I fly abroad so infrequently now that it seems like "the first time" every flight. It's as though my brain works overtime to anticipate the next step to get through the boarding process. I feel more relaxed traveling with another person who can also be alert to changes, etc. When flying solo, I'm on my own to catch the plane and any connecting flights. Once onboard in my seat, I can chill for awhile! Traveling can be mentally and physically exhausting sometimes if I'm traveling to a new location. I'm excited and anxious not knowing what to expect. Whew!
Oh i agree!
Im going to Norway on the 20th and im litterly imagining myself getting into costoms and stutter and being nervous.
I hope your having a good day! 🌍💙💚⛺💙❤
Totally agree I made myself so ill with anxiety I ended up in hospital and cancelling my trip. When I had a friend with me.... No problems.
The funniest thing happened the other day Mark. I am currently studying to do my degree in accounting and was doing some modules online, and then your face popped up with a video for swot analysis!! My university has used your video in our unit! I was like "hey thats my youtube travel guy!" 😂
Wow. That is an old marketing video :)
Don’t forget to fill out the arrival and or departure forms required by some countries. And some countries (like japan) require that plus a customs form for foreigners
Bring a pen.
@@lesliefranklin1870 Or a few pens!
From the bottom of my heart, thanks Mark & Jocelyn for your gifts of knowledge in order to make our travels more enriching! My best to your family.
This channel has helped me out sooo much when traveling both domestically and internationally. I always learn something new from your videos and really appreciate the attention to detail that gets put into them. THANK YOU!!!
So very happy I recently found your channel. These are not only very helpful and informative but also getting me even more excited for my trip. Thanks for having so many Germany videos!! :)
I’m so grateful I found you last week. You are so helpful. I’m leaving the country twice for the first time and I’m so nervous. You are making me feel more confident.
I'm an American living in South Korea. My parents came to visit me. They flew into Seoul Incheon Airport, had a 12-hour layover with a hotel stay and a flight to my Korean hometown of Daegu the next morning. In Korea, and especially at Incheon (since that's where most international-to-domestic connections are made), you have to pick up your luggage and take it through customs with you before going on to your next flight. My parents didn't know this and went to their hotel without their luggage. Luckily, the airport employees were able to find the luggage the next morning in the Delta Airlines airport offices.
Flying internationally alone for my study abroad, and this video really eased my anxieties! Thank you so much!
Walter you are one of the best travel experts in RUclips, man you give direct and easy to understand answers plus give so much extra information.
I finally learned in Germany all they want to hear from me when I am going to visit my daughter is, “I’m on holiday”. Me trying to explain anything else is confusing for them.
Thank you so much for this video. This is the information I was looking for. At first it seems overwhelming to travel internationally, but you simplified what seemed to be a stressful situation in order to travel international. ❤
This is the video I needed before I traveled abroad a year ago. Great video for first time travelers for sure!
When I travel in another country I always look around to make sure that you aren't filming a video near me.... I'm scared of vaporizing into thin air like some of the tourist behind you. As always another helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to help all of us out.
Thank you for a good laugh! 💙💚❤
Hallelujah you are giving me information I have been looking for these past two months of researching... Can't believe just ran into you.
This was really great. Thank you! Flying solo into Munich and transferring to Berlin.
Really informative info. I like when you do general info videos and this was a good one. Thanks!
I've been binge watching all your videos, gosh they're super helpful and informative! Thanks!
Thanks for the video, we are sending my nephew off to travel abroad to study in Italy, first time international flyer. Now he knows what to expect!
At 3:35 the two people behind vaporize. I love it!
Such a helpful video. So many details that make for a smooth transition into a new country.
Once you collect your luggage from the conveyor, you have to go through customs. There'll be 2 lanes usually: green means that you have nothing to declare, whereas red means you have goods you need to pay duty on or that aren't allowed to bring in. If you're travelling within the EU, you also have a blue lane for arrivals from within the EU. You are always liable for a customs agent to stop you, however
One of the most useful travel tip videos! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. I didn't realized about this until I came to Europe. I wish I had seen this before.
Thank you! Flying to Europe for the first time next month and I was wondering about this process.
Tiffanye Davenport same here! I’m flying to Germany in April and I’ve never been to Europe before lol sooooo nervous!!!
Jordan Brown same!! safe travels to both of you!
Thanks alot for this video, i've seen alot of videos that try and explain these things but i alawys find your videos alot easier to really take in and make sense of. :)
Thanks so much! I'll be traveling into Dublin in June! This is helpful to know.
I was looking for a video exactly like this on your channel yesterday! Great timing (:
I've been to Europe a few times and this video is really great for those who are traveling abroad the first time. Thanks Mark for doing this along with your other great videos! Hope you enjoyed Mardi Gras when you were in New Orleans!
Thank you for the video! This will be my first time traveling to the UK and this makes it less stressful.
Great topic. I am going to France for the first time in May, I have never traveled outside the US before. Love all of your videos.
Such a basic but useful video for first timers. Thank you great job.
Great advice, im planning a future US trip and will be flying to seattle from the UK first then an internal flight from seattle to philly, so good to hear advice on both parts.
Very informative. Glad i watched it before my long flight through 3 continents
Ah! It's such fun listening to you - thank you for all the cheerful good advice :D
This video was so helpful! I didnt even realize this was something that happened when traveling internationally.
Thank you so much for this video! I sadly have only recently found your channel while researching my trip to Ireland (going end of July). Lately I've been getting anxious about the airport cause I've never been in an airport let alone travel to a new country and deal with customs. This has helped a lot :) thank you!
This video was very helpful and informative your videos make Sunday’s and Wednesday the best days of the week
Another helpful video and very relevant advice. Thank you!
Thanks, Mark! Great info, as always! We really enjoy your channel.
This is such a helpful video, thank you so much!
Life savior, the summary i was looking for thank you so much
Great stuff Mark! My first international flight was back in 2002. Went to Toronto with a friend. We were waiting in the customs line and I was "next". She followed along with me and before I could say hello to the agent, he asked "Are you with her?" Ahh, yes. "Is she your wife?" Ahh, no. Then he decided to yell at her to get back in line. This is the kind of stuff that first timers need to know. Unless married...don't walk up to the agents together. Haha. So yes, that was my fault...cause I didn't know. HAHAHA!
Again Mark another GREAT information video.
Great video and awesome tips
Love that you did this in my home town. Hope you enjoyed Waterford.
I'm traveling to London with my mom this summer and this video really helps me when I go to the border control when I arrive in the United Kingdom.
Last summer I did a three week exchange in France. I don't know if the customs officer decided that a teenaged American girl that was traveling alone with no stamps in her passport was the least of his worries, or if French customs are always really easy to get through, but he didn't say a word to me. When I come back to the US and went to border patrol it was completely different. It started fine, they asked my full name and my birthday. The problem arose when they asked if I was going to school. I was 15 at the time, so I still had to be in school, but I'm homeschooled. I hadn't had an actual conversation in English for 3 weeks, so first it took me a little while to understand what he was asking. Then I fumbled around and stuttered out something like "I'm a US citizen... I'm going to be a sophomore... Um yes?" He then asked what my parents did and I said my mom homeschools me and I think he understood why I was confused at first cause it looked like he had an ah-ha moment then he let me go after that.
And now imagine how tourists to the US are treated who are not even US citizens. The US passport control is the worst and most unfriendly in the world.
Agreed US customs are the worst. And they are so unefficient, too. Last year I was taking aside in San Fransisco and had to wait more than two hours in a room, before an officer had time to talk to me. That's not what you need after a 15 hour journey
They always so extra for sure
@@klausjespersen it happen to me as a US citizen. I came from a popular vacation destination in South America and the guy at customs became abrasive with me. He ask if I had someone in the country I went to, I said no. He then ask why I went on vacation and I told him because I wanted to travel and see the world. He told me to leave and then moments later an officer stoped me in the hallway and told me go and wait in a room full with other people. I waited for over an hour before they saw me. My flight already arrived late at night 12am and I had to stay at the airport until 2-3 am. I was so furious and pissed off. When she finally came back with no senses of urgency and proceeded to check my bag which I had my personal belongings, swiping everything to check for drugs asking me about work and other personal stuff. She didn’t find anything of course while another guy was in the background watching me. They acted like I was a criminal. I’ve never even been ticketed while driving. Mind you I’m a professional black male, with a stable job, I own my home in one of the nicest neighborhoods in northern Virginia, DC suburb. I kept the lovely package of the hotel statement and itinerary in my suitcase and she got pissed when they couldn’t find anything. I was calm as a cucumber. She wasn’t happy after wasting her time coming after me and they left the real criminals off the hook.
@@JeanClaudeCOCO Geez, im so sorry to hear about your experiences. That sounds horribly unfair and honestly, just sickening. Sometimes the USA sounds worse than a third world country… and i live in India 🥲
Thank you for this video! We are going to Ljubljana with a connecting flight in Brussels and weren't sure what to do. This helped a lot!!!
I've been watching a ton of your videos lately. LOVE your stuff! I'm travelling to Greece later this year and have never traveled outside the country other than deploying to Afghanistan, ha! So needless to say I have a lot to learn. Thanks for all the super useful information!!!
Great content, I just wish this video existed before my first trip abroad.
Great info, short and sweet and to the point! New subscriber here! Thanks Wolters World!!
This the first video I watched of yours a few days ago and it was sooooo helpful. Thank you! I will be going through customs in Dublin so it help to relate. :)
This info was much needed thank you!
Great video. Thanks!
I’m flying for the first international trip by myself to Chicago so this is very helpful.
I appreciate this information so much. I am going on my first international trip.
Ive been watching your videos all afternoon! I love your channel
Love the channel Mark! This is the first channel I came upon for info on Oslo and Bergen Norway. Since then, have tried other channels... but keep coming back to you. Don't change a thing! Here to stay. Cheers🍻
I WAS IN OSLO NORWAY LAST WEEK. NICE COUNTRY.
Great content as always! You are a great inspiration for my travel channel. Keep it up :)
Your Awesome, Thanks for alllll the tips. Hope you make it to Santa Fe, NM someday.
Oh I would love more of these type of videos for rookie older travelers
This came at the right time as I’m flying to 🇳🇿 today
This is perfect information for me. I'm travelling abroad for the first time especially the part about passport control on connecting flights. I've got a flight to finland which has my connecting flight to norway
If you get questioned at your point of entry be polite, firm and provide direct answers to direct questions. I travel rough but when I get off that flight I am neatly dressed and clean shaven. I have had very few problems. A solid demeanor and a patient attitude goes a long way in these situations.
Great content and good advice for first time international traveling. 👍
So helpful. Thanks
Ts was super helpful 🙏🏽 Flew from Chicago to a connecting flight to Helsinki and to my final destination of Seoul
Very helpful video!! Calmed my nerves!
Thanks for this! I am actually going to be travelling abroad for the first time in June and I'm going to Ireland, so funny that you filmed this video from Ireland! Lucky for me I am travelling with a group, so surely I won't be the other newbie!
Great info, thanks! Some countries require an immigration form be completed and reviewed at the immigration desks as you go through. I’ve seen tons of people having to fill out the forms before they can even get in line. Most airlines will supply the forms. If in doubt, fill it out anyway!

I do love the places that have pre-clearance facilities coming back to the US. It was so much nicer coming back from Aruba after a couple weeks knowing you weren't going to have to go reclaim your bag and re-check it especially in Miami.
I made my own ticket with a list of instructions what I have to do. It really helped. Remember everyone off your plane will be going in the same direction until after security. So just follow the crowd. Some airports have self check ins.... Which isn't as daunting as it sounds. Plenty off people around will help if you ask.
Thank you so much. Great information
Make sure your passport is in good condition too. Last time I flew internationally I had to spend $200 for an expedited passport, as well as $100 for a flight between Bogotá and Santa Marta since it was still cheaper than a flight to Santa Marta from Boston.
Most airports there's the same steps.
Check in
Security
Finding your gate
Boarding
On plane
Off plane
Passport Control
Baggage pick up (if you check any bags)
Customs
Exit.
ps also another thing is a lot of things seem to be self service in some airports. :)
Great orientation to airport procedures
Thanks! It sounds really simple.
This is the best travel channel!
Thank you for all the helpful tips on trips. I did not realize that tv USB ports were available.
When I was traveling with nephew and niece for the first time I made a game of hide and seek with one of their belongings( woobie- blank is, whatever) then they had to find it in the room. It taught them to check every drawer and door for list items. It proved itself when the nephew traveled with Grandpa to Florida and he found Gpas glasses and denture adhesive in the nightstand. My head would not fit thru a garage door. And it kept them busy in the hide and seek.
Also, make sure you know what you can bring back from other countries you visit. As you come back, it's possible for customs to confiscate some items, like ivory, or charge you an import duty if you bring back items worth more than you are allowed.
Very helpful, thanks!
Very good video. Thanks.
I always try to book with the national carrier for whatever country that I am traveling to. Massive time saver. As an example my last flight to Beijing was on Hainan. All Chinese maybe 6-8 Westerners. Breezed through the process. Coming back to the US was the same thing. 5 minutes and done.
Also-order special meals when flying on Chinese airlines. Epically better food and you get it first
Thanks soo much ! I'm going to Paris this November and this video helped. You just got a new subscriber
Do not carry your PP, IDs, credit cards etc in your carryon. You can leave it on the plane, lose it, have it stolen. Carry these documents on your person, I use a lanyard and neck pouch next to my skin under my shirt. The pouch also has RIF (?) protection for your Credit, Debit cards to prevent scanners from obtaining your data. AAA has them.
@@davemaxa5263 Very good advice. I purchased one of those neck pouches but didn't think I would use it until I arrived at my destination. But now that you mentioned it I will use it on the plane. Thanks!
Thanks for the help!
Greetings from Louisiana 💞 Thanks for sharing 😁😁😁.. This was extremely helpful 🚕 🛫😎
As you plan your trip, make sure you check the requirements for travelling to another country. For some countries, you are required to have a visa. And sometimes getting a visa will take time and money.
Straight forward and informative vid! Thanks- Any tips for Dubai Aiport Travel? Wifi on Terminals etc?
Thank you so much ❤
Hi Mark Fantastic video. Very usefull. Also i love Osprey. Nice bag i have 1 also
If your coming back into the US from another country and having a connecting flight to get home. Make sure you book your flight that has a layover of at least a few hours.. Once you arrive in the US you have to go thru customs then get your bags, recheck your bags and then go thru security again to get to your gate for your flight home to your destination. This can take some time
Good video thank you for sharing
Very good, thanks!
I really like your informative videos
I really like your RUclips channel. You are always on point.
THANK YOU THANK YOU I will leave my country and flight to another continent for the first time! I am excited but scared at the same time!! I know that everything will work out for me :)
