Краткое описание каждой из групп

“Tourists”

How do we travel on our own? Is it safe? What documents do we need to cross the border? Our group was looking for these and many other questions relating to a proper trip planning. We were focusing on tourist trips, nothing else. We found out that it is quite possible without any fear and adults to gather all the proper documentation, buy air tickets and find accommodation for the planed period of stay. We conducted an interesting research and discovered that it takes up to three weeks on average to plan a well organized tourist trip abroad and that does not include visa arrangements. You will be surprised to know that in some case getting a Visa might take up to 2 months. Each member of our group was involved in its own task and after its completion we crated a small chart summing up the entire important thing one should know, do and follow before going on tourist trip abroad. As a country of destination we picked up Lebanon. Here take a look!

"Students"

For those who like studying not just in their home country we are welcoming to join our team in finding out what do we need to do in order to go and study abroad. As we are still at secondary school we decided to look at a short term study abroad - language camp in Great Britain. For those who would like to think about your further education a brief guideline will be provided.

As we completed our project, we have constructed a chart, guidelines that summarize the most important and necessary steps one must follow. If all the steps are fulfilled a pleasant with everlasting memory journey is guaranteed to you.

Please refer to the chart below.

Вывод

We interview a friend of our group member who’d been on a six-month trip through Africa and asked him about the most important thing he learned from that trip. Without any hesitation, he answered, “That trip taught me to follow my heart”. Travel has taught him to see the details of life. In the familiar, our eyes brush over the surroundings as we pursue daily tasks and goals with a kind of mental tunnel vision. Traveling removes us from the known and forces to be more attentive: from the way blades of grass jitter in the wind to the calcium deposits crawling up ancient fountains to the ripple of cloud shadows over ceramic roof tiles. These details hold the wonder in life; travel gives us access to them. The result is a richer, more meaningful experience and long lasting memory. As you go on your journey please never forget about troubles you might encounter. For that our team has developed a safety plan that will help you and bring you to the right people in case of emergency. Make sure you have a signed, valid passport, and a visa, if required, and fill in the emergency information page of your passport. Leave copies of your itinerary, passport data page and visas with family or friends, so you can be contacted in case of an emergency. Ask your medical insurance company if your policy applies overseas, and if it covers emergency expenses such as medical evacuation. If it does not, consider supplemental insurance. While in a foreign country, you are subject to its laws. The State Department web site at [1] has useful safety and other information about the countries you will visit. To avoid being a target of crime, do not wear conspicuous clothing or jewelry and do not carry excessive amounts of money. Also, do not leave unattended luggage in public areas and do not accept packages from strangers. Consular personnel at U.S. Embassies and Consulates abroad and in the U.S. are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to provide emergency assistance to U.S. citizens. Contact information for U.S. Embassies and Consulates appears on the Bureau of Consular Affairs website at [2] There is so much joy to be had and awe to be present in our lives when we continue to learn and grow. A favorite saying of ours is “When you’re green you’re growing and when you’re ripe you’re rotten.” Traveling presents you with unlimited opportunities to learn. That is what travel is – a process of discovery. We learn an incredible amount about life and ourselves through experiences traveling. Never become a couch potato!! Stay hungry, travel the world, and discover the new places! You will find a new life out there waiting for you, making you a better person! 
