For the young traveler at work or at play, foreign laws matter. When traveling or living abroad, it’s always wise to understand the laws that will get you either thrown in jail under extremely harsh conditions or handed a death sentence. Likewise, you need to be well informed of the political climates of the countries you wish to visit. For example, if you visit a country that’s angry with the values of western traditions or its foreign policy, then perhaps your chances of being forgiven for violations you mistakenly commit may become a lot harder to prevail against. Even worse, you could be used as a political pawn, and your ethnicity and race could work against you, too. Always be respectful of other countries’ laws, traditions, and citizens. Remember, a cheap thrill can be the difference between coming home safely or getting apprehended in a foreign land with no immediate freedom in sight. Needless to say, being in possession of an American passport and having a large bank account may not be enough to set you free if you violate a foreign country’s laws and that country despises America, segments of Americans, or cultures in America that it doesn’t like. Know what you’re doing when visiting foreign lands.
