10 Vitally Important Must Do Travel Tips
I have put together a list of what I perceive to be 10 vitally important must do travel tips, which I feel will help to ensure that your trip is a safe and successful one.
I don’t think it really matters whether you are travelling to safe countries like Barbados or Scotland or whether you are heading to one of the more dodgy countries out there, it always pays to be careful and prepared, because there are dodgy people lurking in the shadows waiting for easy pickings no matter where you travel too.
10 Vitally Important Must Do Travel Tips:
1. Never list your home address on the luggage tag. If on business, put the company’s address on the tag; if visiting friends you can list their address. Use covered luggage tags as well
2. Carry important papers with you; NEVER check anything that you simply cannot afford to lose. Photocopy your passport, driver’s license and credit cards.
3. You should never accept a drink from a stranger. Keep an eye on your drink at all times.
4. Pay the driver upon arriving at your destination and while you are still sitting in the vehicle
5. Do not discuss travel plans, your room number or any other personal information in public within earshot of strangers
6. Bring along a basic first aid kit with bandages, iodine, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, alcohol packets, dramamine, pepto bismol, diarrhoea medicine, etc.
7. Bring a small flashlight. You never know when you’ll suddenly be “in the dark” and find yourself in unfamiliar surroundings. At night, keep your flashlight by your bed.
8. Watch for scams on the street. Children working with adults are notorious as pickpockets.
9. Emergency Cards write your child’s name and your hotel number on each card; include a close friend or relative’s contact information on the card. Give a card to each child that they will carry with them as long as you are away. Destroy once home.
10. Never flash your money in public. Exchange funds with reputable and recognized exchangers only.
I cannot stress enough, the importance of staying aware and alert at all times while on holiday. Unfortunately nowadays many travelers end up in situations that could have easily been avoided if they had used plain old common sense.
Stay alert, stay safe and always be aware
