Former Customs & Border Protection (CBP) Officer and Travel Risk Consultant with 15 years of experience in immigration policy and border security. Specialist in U.S. entry requirements, visa logistics, and travel insurance protocols.
Sarah Harrison leverages her decade and a half of service at major U.S. ports of entry, including JFK and LAX, to demystify the complexities of American travel bureaucracy. As a former CBP Officer, she possesses firsthand knowledge of what triggers secondary inspections, how the ESTA system actually functions, and the specific legalities surrounding border crossings. Now working as a private travel risk consultant, Sarah advises international clients on navigating U.S. immigration laws and securing comprehensive travel insurance that covers catastrophic events like the $50,000 hospital bills mentioned in your titles. Her writing cuts through the jargon, offering legally sound, practical advice for smooth entry and compliance with federal regulations. She provides a rare "behind the badge" perspective that standard travel blogs cannot offer.
