― Jack Kerouac
“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life.

And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”

I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”
― Bill Bryson

How to Actually Stay Safe While Traveling

Being able to wish someone safe travels is great, but there’s even better value in being able to tell them how to travel safely. Here are a few things you can do, or even remind those you love to do, before traveling.

  1. Copy all important documents, like passports, and send email copies to yourself. This way, if anything is lost, you have a fail-safe to access and replace that information.
  2. Take out enough cash to last 1-2 days in the destination you’re traveling to, but not more. A lot of people take their entire trip budget in cash, only to learn that they get hammered in currency exchange fees at the airport. You want to have cash in the destination currency when you land for cabs, groceries, and essentials in case you have issues with your credit and debit cards, but most ATMs overseas don’t charge fees. You’ll save money if you only take the cash you need.
  3. Make sure someone has the contact information of where you’ll be staying. This is a truism that goes back decades, but traveling safely is about making sure someone can reach you in case of an emergency.
  4. Safeguard your hotel room. If you want turn-down service, put your key valuables into a locked box or safe. Don’t just leave them out. We, of course, want to assume that hotel staff is honest, but there’s no reason to be on the short end of a poor assumption.
  5. Be careful about WiFi. Make sure to pay bills online before you go, and try to avoid making online transactions over public WiFi when abroad. Networks that are unfamiliar to you shouldn’t see your personal information, and you’re at great risk when they do.
