Safety Tips: Personal safety and the security of your belongings

I am one of those people whose guilty of trying to bring everything whenever I travel, local or internationally. I end up cluttering my luggage with excess stuff. Even my gym bag is quite heavy with too much of everything! Through the years though, I've learned a few tips from my parents on how to travel safe and light.

Safety Tips: Personal safety and the security of your belongings.

1. Research. Do a little research regarding the place you're going to visit to know its culture. This is probably a common practice but I would like to still include it here. There are some practices that are considered rude in one country but accepted in others. You don't want to get into trouble, especially in a foreign land, right? For instance, it is considered rude to point or touch something with your foot in Thailand because they consider it the dirtiest part of the human body.

2. Secure important documents. Important documents would include your passport, vouchers, boarding tickets, etc. I recommend allotting a compartment within your bag for this so that these documents remain together and would be easier to locate when necessary.

3. Do not put all your money in one place. It's now practical to not put all your hard earned money in your wallet or pocket when you're traveling. Keep the bulk of your money somewhere safe and just place on your wallet enough cash to get you through the day. If you're going to place it in your pocket, make sure it is deep enough or have flaps for added security. This is why I love cargo shorts or pants. It has lots of pockets that have buttons or velcro.

I recommend you sew an inside pocket on your jeans where you can safely keep your money. I asked a local seamstress to make an inside pocket for my jeans. Just ask him/her to add a velcro so that the pocket will have additional security. If you can do this with the lower garments you're going to bring, you don't have to worry about losing your money or getting robbed. Unless of course, the robber asks you to give him all your clothes. Yikes!

4. Mark your belongings. I have this habit of marking my things with stickers, especially my gadgets. For example, I can immediately spot my mobile phone even when surrounded by other phones because I have a butterfly sticker on mine. Even my digicam have heart stickers to have a distinctive mark. My parents do this kind of marking with all their things, including luggage, pens, containers, etc.

Put neon orange stickers on your luggage. The stickers are easy to spot, especially when you're looking for your luggage on the baggage belt inside the airport. You can easily see if someone mistakenly gets it.

5. Have a copy of important documents. If in case you misplace your passport or a travel voucher, it would be easier to replicate or verify your ownership if you have a clear copy on hand. As you can see from the previous photo, I have a photocopy of my passport that I keep inside my luggage at all times.

6. Have a hard copy of important numbers. Do not rely on keeping all important data on your gadgets. It's important that you have a written copy of important contacts like your passport no., credit card nos., your credit card/s customer assistance nos., etc. If you lose your card for example, you can easily contact your bank to cut any further transactions made through your credit card. If you only have these numbers in your mobile phone for example, and lost your phone together with your cards, then you'd have a difficult time reaching your bank for assistance.

7. Separate your money from your credit cards. I see most people who places their money along with their cards in one wallet. I recommend separating them. Put your cards in another wallet. This way, you only need to take out your money if you're paying in cash or take out your card if you're charging your purchase.

8. Use Pacsafe products! Girls and guys alike have with them a bag for their daily use during travels. I recommend investing in Pacsafe products. It has special features that helps every traveler secure their belongings. I particularly like the Pacsafe models which you can use as a body bag. I feel more secure when my bag is in front of my body. It's easier to get things out of it as well.

In this light, I'm eyeing the Pacsafe Venture Safe 200. It's a compact travel bag that I can use daily. The Venture Safe 200 is roomy enough to carry all the necessary things I need for the day.

It's chic and since it's a Pacsafe, it has a 4 anti-theft features: eXomesh slashguard in front, side and bottom panels, slashproof adjustable shoulder strap, snatchproof shoulder strap allows the bag to anchor to a secure fixture, and tamperproof zippers.

Traveling Light Tips:

1. Know the weather. Before you start packing, know the weather in the place you're going. You might be bringing clothes that are not appropriate.

2. Bring only necessary amount of toiletries. I am very guilty of bringing bottles of toiletries that makes my luggage heavy. Bring only the amount that is necessary. You can purchase toiletries like shampoo, conditioners, toothpaste, lotion, etc. in sachets that are more practical to pack. If you have to bring toiletries that are not available in sachets, there are mini containers that you can purchase in groceries so that you'll only be bringing the necessary amount that you need. Make sure to secure the covers of bottles by taping them firmly.

3. Avoid heavy garments. Unless necessary, avoid bringing clothes that are heavy like denim jeans or bath towels. There are various travel towels now available which are more compact and more absorbent to bring along.

4. Bring compact shoes. There are foldable, compact but comfortable walking shoes available in the market. Instead of bringing bulky shoes, bring those that are foldable and compact. There are brands out there that offer comfort and style for walking shoes.

Foldable shoes can save you space and weight. This picture is a sample of female foldable shoes. There are also other brands that offers compact shoes for both male and female. I recommend packing these instead of shoes that will take a lot of space.

5. Use light weight luggage. If you'll be traveling that requires you to bring a large luggage, look for one that is light by itself. I've seen a lot of luggage that are heavy even when they're empty. 1kg off the weight of your luggage will go a long way.

Ten money saving tips you can apply at your destination




Below are some money saving tips you can apply at your destination. Whether you are away for business or pleasure these tips will help you save while still enjoying all that the destination has to offer.

Tip 1: Travel second class: If you don't mind roughing it a bit, travel on second class buses and trains. You will save money and get to experience the "real" local culture and a few chickens in the overhead luggage rack.

Tip 2: Cut back on the beer: When travelling most people drink more than they should. Cut back on the number of drinks, and you will save a few dollars each day. Good though when the water is dodgy, as the alcohol will kill most bugs. Well that's our excuse anyway.

Tip 3: Accommodation (fan versus air conditioning): Depending on the season you may not need air conditioning. Do your research and find out if you can get away with a cheaper "fan" room.

Tip 4: Buy your visas at your destination (where available): There are many countries where you can buy your visa when you land. The visa is generally cheaper than buying it at home. Double check with a travel agent first, to make sure that you won't be turned away as soon as you arrive!



Tip 5: Use the bus instead of a taxi: If you are travelling to an area with good public transport, use the bus or train instead of a taxi. Again, you will save money and experience the true culture.

Tip 6: Traveller Cheques: Many places offer a flat fee per cheque. Therefore it makes more sense to get 10 cheques of large amounts, rather than 20 or 30 cheques of smaller amounts.

Tip 7: Research the exchange rate daily: Keeping an eye on the exchange rate will help you get the most value out of your home currency.

Tip 8: Head to small local stores: You will be amazed at what bargains you can find in these stores.

Tip 9: Set a daily holiday budget: Few people set budgets at home, even less set budgets when they are travelling. Set out a budget, work out what you want to spend each day, and avoid coming home and finding a huge credit card bill at your door! Sorry that means if you're half way through the theme park and your daily limit is exceeded, sorry kids we're packing up and heading home. Rules is rules!

Tip 10: Walk, walk and walk: The best way to see a city is often to walk. Take a day out just to walk around the city or town and see what sites you can find.
