Welcome to the home of the world citizens guide

We hope you enjoy traveling and experiencing new people and culture as much as we do. This site is designed to be a place for travelers to visit again and again as we add useful links, updated versions of our world citizens guides and interesting and fun facts about countries and cultures around the globe.

What began as a little book designed to help students studying overseas is growing into a family of guides designed to assist all Americans who travel abroad. Working with the organization Business For Diplomatic Action, we created a simple collection of helpful tips and information aimed at improving both your travel experience and the world's appreciation of us and our culture.

We hope the original student guide and the very simple business guide will encourage understanding of some basic yet important principles about traveling, working and living around the globe. Our goal: to turn U.S. citizens in the best possible world citizens, and to turn the world into a better place for all the planet's peoples.

Better World Citizens. Better World.
