Exploring is a big part of visiting another country, but sometimes it can be pricey.

Be sure to plan out your trips ahead of time and notify someone of your plans.
Keep in mind that these excursions may cost money. Finally, always be responsible and aware while exploring.

Always notify your university, personal contacts, bank, and main living hostess of possible excursions. Understand that these extra excursions cost money and you need to be financially responsible.
Another tip is to plan out an itinerary and do a bit of research on the new country you plan to visit. Keep all of your identification documents safe and on your person at all times.
Finally, have a backup plan to fall on if something were to go wrong.
