To travel safe, you need to keep money within your reach and spend it wisely. Your wallet should contain two or preferably one credit card for use during your stay in your destination.
It is also important that you equip the issuers with information about your travel destinations. If you want to avoid the issue of having your card denied, informing the issuers is essential. You should also bear in mind that traveler’s checks are not recognized universally now.
Therefore, the use of bank cards is advisable when you want to withdraw cash. You may have to do this every now and then throughout your adventure travel experience, so it is safer to learn your PIN by heart.
#6 – Purchase a travel insurance policy

Most people don’t think seriously about purchasing an insurance policy. They think that keeping travel insurance and an emergency medical care plan in hand is useless, which is not correct.
Note that your normal health insurance will not cover any emergency conditions during your travel and in your destination.
Study your vacation destination thoroughly and pick your medical insurance plan accordingly. Moreover, if you have booked your plane ticket in advance, expect any announced flight cancelation at any moment.
But if you have a travel insurance policy, you are lucky to be on the safe side. See now why you should not underestimate travel insurance policies during international trips?
#7 – Pack your travel luggage wisely

When traveling abroad, go lightly with light travel luggage but return loaded with heavy cultural experiences! So when packing for your next international trip, make sure you keep your bags as light as possible. Preferably, valuables must not be packed in your bags.
If you really have to carry them with you, don’t ever place them in your checked luggage because the latter might get lost. The carry-on is the preferable spot where valuables should be kept.
