> Ensure your self
before travelling :: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Carry your
passport, other travel documents and your money separately.
You don't want to lose them all |
|
| |
together. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Place a photocopy
of your passport in each and every checked-in bag that you
give at the airport. Helps in |
|
| |
case you lose your luggage. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Keep extra
photocopies of the relevant pages of your passport. This is
needed for Indian permits. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you order
mineral water in a restaurant, make sure the bottle is unsealed
at the table. |
|
|
|
|
|
Never travel
without mosquito repellents and other essential medicines. |
|
|
|
|
|
It is a good
idea to carry locks for your bags and suitcases. Try to keep
your clothes flat and avoid carrying |
|
|
too many fragile goods that will
be left at the mercy of careless luggage handlers. |
|
|
|
|
|
Label your
entire luggage and even try to carry an extra set of labels
with you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Carry an
extra set of lock and keys, just in case. |
|
|
|
|
|
It's not
a good idea to travel with too much cash. Travellers' cheques
are best. |
|
|
|
|
|
Don't use
new shoes, however comfortable they may seem. |
|
|
|
|
|
Try not to
store liquids in a bottle in any of your bags. If you must,
seal the mouth with white hospital tape. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Pack empty
plastic ziplock bags to separate soiled clothes from the rest,
especially if you're travelling to a |
|
|
rainy destination. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ensure that
your luggage is waterproof. |
|
|
|
|
|
Confirm,
reconfirm, confirm once again. (Your plane tickets, that is)
|
|
|
|
|
|
If travelling
in the monsoon, carry a raincoat and umbrella. |
|
|
|
|
|
Make a list
of all your personal medicines that you are carrying with
you. Carry the list with you wherever
|
|
|
you go. |
|
|
|
|
|
Carry your
own water bottle. This should be within arm's length at all
times. It'll save you the problem of
|
|
|
drinking unsafe water whenever
you are thirsty. |
|
|
|
|
|
Many women
travellers prefer to carry a high pitched whistle that would
scare away stalkers. |
|
|
|
|
|
Women who
are travelling alone should not admit they are travelling
alone. |
|
|
|
|
|
When asking
for directions, ask shopkeepers, not pedestrians. Check with
at least two persons or more. |
|
|
|
|
|
Make a list
of all the things you forgot while travelling and use the
list before your next trip. |
