Traveling in The United States
You have finished your program or internship and may want to see more of the United States. America is a big country and offers many types of experiences depending on your interests. Some participants want to visit our major cities like New York, Boston, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles and others want to explore our many mountain ranges, seaside communities, national parks or natural wonders. Whatever your interests, we want your travel experiences to be safe and enjoyable and for you to make a positive impact to those you meet along your journey.
Insurance
It is advisable to purchase additional travel insurance as your program insurance expires five days after your DS-2019 end date.
To purchase additional travel insurance for the period that you will remain in the U.S. after your official program end date, please contact your Outreach Coordinator or email [email protected] at least 3 weeks prior to your DS-2019 end date. Additional insurance cost is $30 per month, which can be prorated in 7-day increments.
Travel Smart and Safely
Please be careful and prudent during your travels. It is a good idea to provide an itinerary of your travel plans to a friend or family member and be sure to check in with someone regularly.
Review the safety information previously provided and protect yourself and your personal belongings.
