So you are tossing and turning thinking about the next trip you will be taking. It might seem like a hassle, but it shouldn’t be. This piece can offer a few tips and tricks that can relieve much of your travel stress.
Never use a public computer when you are away from home to check your bank accounts. There is something called a keylogger that scammers use to gain access to your bank information as you type the keys on the computer.
You want to be very careful when catching a taxi in another country when traveling. Make sure you are taking a taxi that is legit. Anyone can throw a “taxi” sign up and you won’t know who they are or where they will take you.
Pack clothespins on your upcoming trip. These are not typical travel gear, but they do come in handy.
Keep track of all of your valuables at all time when traveling. If you’ve got a purse, keep it tucked under your arm neatly. Do not use bags with zippers that provide easy access to people near you that could easily take your stuff. Carefully evaluate your bags for security risks when choosing one for traveling.
Credit Card
As you travel overseas, you should find out the types of insurance coverage that your credit card company makes available on your account. For example, there may already be coverage for cancelled flights which you paid for with your credit card. You should research a bit before leaving.
When you make any hotel reservations, make certain you check for potential renovations taking place during your stay. You surely do not want to deal with the noise of construction workers everywhere when you are trying to relax. Try to avoid any renovation dates.
Try avoiding rush hour when on your road trip. If you can’t avoid being in a busy area during rush hour, plan a stop and take a break for a while there. This can be the time to grab a bite to eat or let the kids out to burn some energy.
Always look at the expiration dates that are printed on your passports. Some countries have very specific rules regarding passports, including when they expire. You may not be able to enter certain countries if your passport expires soon during a particular time. Typically if your passport is due to expire in 3-6 months you will be denied visitation. However, this time frame can extend to 8-12 months.
