Other Travel
Some of the most useful travel resources do not fit a single category. This page collects tools that help around a trip rather than with booking one: understanding local customs, avoiding hidden charges, keeping a record of where you have been and checking the rules for a long stay or a move abroad.
Before visiting a country for work or an extended stay, read up on its customs. Greetings, dress, tipping and how meetings run all vary, and getting them wrong can cause offence. Commisceo Global's country guides cover cultural etiquette, business practice and social norms country by country, and are free to read.
When booking hotels, especially in the United States, watch for mandatory resort fees and similar charges left out of the advertised rate; Kill Resort Fees campaigns against them and explains how they work. To keep a record of a trip without writing a diary, Polarsteps tracks your route automatically and builds a travel journal to share with family and friends.
If you are thinking of relocating rather than visiting, Visit World gathers country-by-country information on visas, entry requirements and how long you can legally stay. For visa tools, see Visas.
