Client Responsibility
Travel documents, including passports, visas, and health/vaccination certificates required are your responsibility. Valid passports are absolutely required for all international destinations and the expiration date should be at least 6 months following the return date of your trip. Some countries require that your passport have two to four blank visa/stamp pages. Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement is not met. See this State.gov link for passport support. When traveling domestically or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight. (See this link.) Examples: DHS designated enhanced driver’s license, USA Passport, a foreign government passport. The name, date of birth and gender that appears on the identification card must exactly match the same such data that is listed on airline ticket(s) and booking records.
Additionally, a visa and vaccinations may be required. Please note that even when a visa is issued, a traveler may be denied entry since each country’s local immigration officials make the final entry decision. Several factors including past criminal record may contribute to the decision of the local immigration official(s). Should a visa not be issued, Go Wandering Travel is not responsible for lost payments made toward the contemplated trip.
If traveling to or through Canada, travelers with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or other conviction record should always check whether current rules exclude admission. Go Wandering Travel feels it is an invasion of privacy to make such an inquiry of you. The final decision of entry rests with the immigration or border services officer. For more information see Canada's government site and the Canadian Immigration facts.
Visit the USA State Department Website www.travel.state.gov on a regular basis for information regarding incidence of disease, terrorism, safety issues, crime, the need for travel documentation (such as passports, visas, proof of health/vaccination certificates), health hazards, and other restrictions regarding travel to your domestic and/or international destination(s), and re-entry into the United States. Required or advised inoculations you decide to obtain upon the advice of your personal physician may need to be administered in a series of doses months ahead of your planned departure and such time element should be taken into account by you when making deposits and/or nonrefundable final payments. Visit the websites of the USA Centers for Disease Control and the International Society of Travel Medicine.
Flight confirmation is subject to availability and prices are subject to change after the date of deposit, including price increases in the fee for a seat assignment, fee for baggage, applicable fuel surcharges, or an increase in a government imposed fee or tax.

Correct legal names that match identification to be used for travel must be provided by the client to Go Wandering Travel. Name changes are not permitted on airline tickets.

Covid Waiver
Your destination(s) may have pre-travel testing and/or vaccination requirements for entry or re-entry into the United States due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the traveler, you are responsible for obtaining the appropriate documentation/testing for entry for all travelers within your party. Many tourism boards & hotel properties provide this information on their websites. The situation with COVID-19 is a fluid situation where requirements are changing consistently and you are responsible for ensuring that you are compliant at the time of travel. If testing is required, please note that many destinations do not allow home tests or antigen tests. Go Wandering Travel encourages that you verify all testing is within the appropriate time period of departure and that you have received the correct form of testing for your destination(s). Testing costs are the responsibility of the traveler. The choice to travel is a personal decision and all travelers are responsible for following all airline and vendor protocols. By agreeing to these terms you acknowledge that you, on behalf of your entire party, are in agreement and understanding that Go Wandering Travel does not claim liability for any losses due to a lack of COVID-19 testing compliance or cancellations due to closures. In addition, you understand that travel involves the risk of a variety of hazards to health and/or safety (including but not limited to injury, illness, death), of which Go Wandering Travel is not responsible.
Travel Insurance
I understand that declining travel insurance could result in the loss of my travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. I also acknowledge that without insurance, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred.
