Tip #1: Educate yourself on foreign laws. Also Glass with class.
Pay attention to the laws of the country you're visiting. Some countries require consent before you take pictures of people. The photo below is by +Liza Gere, a fellow Explorer. On her recent travels through Germany she politely asked permission from the pilot to get a unique perspective of the cockpit. Authorities in some other countries may not know what the laws are regarding this new wearable computer so be careful and aware. 
TSA & Customs: Coming back to the U.S.
One of the most stressful things about traveling abroad is going through TSA security and dealing with Customs when returning. TSA is generally OK with Glass but make sure you take off the device, stow it in a travel case, and secure it before running it through the security check. I have had an instance where I failed to properly secure my Glass device in the plastic containers. As the container with my things emerged from the other end, the curtains swept my device onto the conveyor belt sending me into panic mode. Airport security doesn’t like panicked passengers, especially when they are going on about a device named Glass being trapped in their equipment.
Customs Border Enforcement is a no-camera area. Meaning it’s a no-Glass-on-your-face-area. It would be wise to remove the device and keep it in your bag. Customs staff have a no-nonsense attitude about cameras and you don’t want to be in a position to explain you’re not recording.. Stow Glass, all phones, and cameras away before entering the customs area upon return.
Tip #2: Wireless hotspots & battery juice packs - a match made in heaven
One fantastic feature of Glass is that it works offline, so you can capture moments even in the remote parts of the world. There is infinitely more use for it when you’re traveling with an internet connection. My Vodafone hotspot worked wonders in Europe, allowing me to take full advantage of Google Now, navigation and all of the Glass features. It was a great investment and even a lifesaver.
Get an external battery charger, maybe even two. Keep those charged. I bought a 11200mAh juice pack on Amazon before my trip and this kept my phone, my wireless hotspot and my Glass charged up for a few days with one full charge. You can find a wireless hotspot at your destination and a juice pack at any local and online electronics retailer.
Tip #3: OK Glass, record a video.
Remember that with Glass, your head and your neck become the swivel and your body is the tripod. When capturing experiences on your travels, it’s important to remember to film or take pictures in a way to make it viewable. Remember that the Glass camera is off center to your right so for perfect framing move a bit to the left of center. It also has a wide field of view so position yourself as close or as far as makes sense for the type of shot you’re going for. Are you still following along? Good, here’s a video of making churros through Glass.
Tip #4: Use Glass to bridge the language divide
Meet people and share the Glass experience with perfect strangers, regardless of language. Actually, you can look at the reason why people are staring as an opportunity to approach a perfect stranger and answer any questions they may have about Glass. Your audience is curious and you are, afterall, an Explorer. You have an opportunity to try an earth shattering piece of technology before the world does, so share. Luckily for you, Glass has the ability to translate if you are connected to the internet (see Tip #2). Use this as a chance to experience different cultures in a way you’ve never done before. 
Tip #5: Always protect your Glass
Google Glass comes with a microfiber carrying case with a hard plastic insert at the base to protect Glass and your Glass accessories. Though a bit bulky, this case should accompany you at all times. Why? Because in the event it rains or you need to take it off for some reason you then have somewhere to stow the device. Storing your Glass in your purse or, in my case, a backpack may damage the nose pads or scratch something important. Lastly, Glass (as you know) doesn’t fold neatly like your spectacles so keep tip #5 in mind and your carrying case nearby.
