For having a successful trip we need to follow few travelling tips.
1. Most of us have a habit of leaving things wherever we move in home. But sometimes by mistake we do the same when we are outside. So it is suggested to have a glance before leaving the place whether you left anything or not.
2. Don’t place all your cards at one place as you do at home. Try to place cards in different places while travelling for example, place a card in suitcase, one in a handbag, one in your wallet. So that if you lose one card, then you can manage with another card. Or else if you keep all cards in your wallet as you do usually then if you lose your wallet then it will be difficult for you and you cannot survive without money.
3. Don’t ever keep your wallet in your jeans back pocket. Keep it in the front pocket of your jeans. Prefer the front pocket which is buttoned. It is even better to use money belts which we can place them inside the jeans or under the shirt. It is good to prefer the waterproof one. As while travelling sometimes we sweat more. It is even advisable to use inner pockets in jeans and shirt also. All these avoid picking of pocket.
4. Scan all your important documents like your travel documents, your visa, ticket etc. Keep those scanned documents in your mail. Try to take hard copy of those documents and keep somewhere in your luggage. When necessary you can show through your mail or sometimes you may need a hard copy to show. So both are good.
5. Trusting strangers is not a bad but you should up to some limit that is your security. Don’t ever go with the stranger in the risky areas and don’t let strangers know about your financial status and all. Never eat the things given by the strangers who are your co-passengers, if you trust only you have it.
6. Getting health insurance is very important. This is much useful for the people who travel abroad. So that for any health problem or injury they can approach a doctor without money.7. Try to consult your doctor and get all the necessary vaccines and health precautions according to the place where you are going to visit.
8. Avoid showing your affluence in public. Stop carrying gold ornaments, costly camera around your neck and money. Keep jewelry at home or bank and camera in bag or else thieves will target you.
