First of all, I know what your insurance covers. Does your health care plan cover you overseas? If you rent a car, will your credit card provide compensation in case of an accident? What kind of compensation does your credit card provide in case of travel delay? Please consult with the customer service representative to examine the travel insurance after accurately grasping what protection is available. It may be an unnecessary expense, but in rare cases of lost or stolen passports or other big travel delays it can save lives. The decision to purchase travel insurance is based on the level of your personal comfort and the value you place for peace of mind and security.

In most countries, you always ask you to carry some legal identification cards and most countries accept passports only, so you need to keep the original in the principal.

Belt packs and backpacks let you know as tourists, and backpacks are a particularly easy goal as skilled slices cut open the bottom of bags and you can remove items without noticing it. Also, be proficient in finely cutting pants pockets, so please do not put your wallet or other documents in the pants of the back pants. The safest place is the inner jacket pocket, and then the pants in your front pants. Saving some extra cash in your clothes as a backup is also a good idea.
