Passport and Visa

            Travel is one of the best possible things you can do for yourself, and venturing outside of your home country is an experience that can't be imitated or replaced.
What is a Passport?
A passport is an easily recognized travel document that identifies you and authorizes you to travel. If you're from the United States, your passport will be a small navy blue booklet, which contains your photo, name, date of birth, residence in the United States, and plenty of blank pages awaiting stamps. Your passport will usually be valid for 10 years. 
You'll generally need to apply for a passport in order to leave and enter the United States from any other countries.
Whenever you arrive in a new country, you'll have to hand your passport over to immigration, who will stamp one of your pages with their country's official seal. It's as simple as that.
So, if you want to take a trip abroad, you'll need to apply for a passport, and using it overseas is as simple as handing it to immigration whenever you arrive in a new country. For more information on the application process and where you'll have to use your passport, keep on reading.
