Before you leave for the destination, check the weather forecast and prepare accordingly. |
 |
Pack essentials like travel guide, health insurance cover, universal adapter, international calling card etc. |
 |
Carry your medical prescriptions along with the medications and a basic first aid kit. |
 |
Check if the wheels, handles or zips of your luggage are in working condition. Handling damaged /broken luggage can be a problem while traveling. |
 |
Make copies of your important documents like passports, credit cards, ID cards, tickets etc. to request for a replacement in case of loss or theft. |
 |
Share your contact details, address and itinerary with family or friends at home in case they need to contact you in an emergency. |
 |
Keep your valuables and important documents in different places instead of storing them in one wallet or pouch. Inside pockets or a sturdy shoulder bag with a comfortable strap could be a safe option. |
 |
Take note of fire escapes, emergency exits, fire extinguishers etc. in the hotel. |
 |
Always carry a route map whilst traveling in a new territory. |
 |
Dress as per the local custom of your travelling destination. |
