You have limited time, your private tours in Rome has schedule to adhere to, and you know where every penny is going on your next vacation Italy. But the one thing that can derail your vacation? Failure to keep track of your documents, or losing your money. You know, those “little things” you don’t think about – until it’s too late. These four tips can save you from a major headache!
1. Scan all your travel documents
The Huffington Post suggests scanning all your travel documents, then keeping them safe electronically. This includes your passport, visas, travel insurance, and more. You should avoid photocopying these documents and instead keep them in a separate part of your luggage so that they don’t get lost or damaged. Going the digital route offers safer and longer-lasting storage.
2. Do your research before going on a tour
Italy is a popular tourism spot, and a lot of traveling companies will offer “great deals.” However, before you pack your bags and join a tour guide for an adventure, make sure you research the qualifications of the tour service. This is to ensure that you avoid being scammed by a con artist(s) looking to steal your money, etc. Also, you should do some research on all the locations you plan to visit during the tour beforehand in order to know if they are safe enough for traveling.
3. Make a personal first-aid kit
There’s nothing worse than some minor ailment, like a headache or a scrap on the knee, that you know you could easily treat – if you just knew where to find it. Before heading out for a tour, gather first-aid supplies to bring with you. Feel free to add snack bars, makeup, energy drink packets, feminine care products, etc. – you never know when you’ll need it.
4. Separate and securely carry all of your money
Consider keeping your money, credit cards, travel checks, etc. in different places while touring. The reason? If you’re keeping all of your money in a purse or wallet – then lose it or have it stolen – then you’re faced with a major headache.
