Sometimes to get the full experience of visiting a foreign country, or to see some of the things that tourists don’t get to see, you have to drive there.  Many Americans worry about driving in a foreign country, don’t know how to do it legally, or worry about the difference of the laws there.  Not to fear, if you already have a drivers license, you can get an international driving permit that is sanctioned by
