It will make it easy to monitor all your belonging and documents. When you have a plan for your trip in place, make sure to check it twice. Make a list of all the documents and items that you will need throughout your journey. It should include passports, visas, traveler’s checks, credit cards, and other important things.</p> <h2>Use Cash Instead of Credit or Debit Cards</h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-302 lazyload" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAASwAAADGAQMAAABSGy9mAAAABlBMVEUAAAD///+l2Z/dAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAB1JREFUWMPtwQEBAAAAgiD/r25IQAEAAAAAAADwZR4qAAHs0d0UAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC" alt="money" width="300" height="198" data-src="https://www.exploredc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cash-300x198.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.exploredc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cash-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.exploredc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cash.jpg 722w" data-sizes="auto" data-eio-rwidth="300" data-eio-rheight="198" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-302" src="https://www.exploredc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cash-300x198.jpg" alt="money" width="300" height="198" srcset="https://www.exploredc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cash-300x198.jpg 300w, https://www.exploredc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cash.jpg 722w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" data-eio="l" /></noscript>It will help if you use cash while traveling in a foreign country. Credit and debit cards have the same access to your account and details. For this reason, if someone gets their hands on it or uses your credit card number, they can easily access your bank accounts and transfer money.</p> <p>If someone gets their hands on the cash you’re carrying around with you, it will not affect your financial situation, as credit cards do. If someone steals your credit card or uses it without authorization, the money won’t come out of your bank account immediately. Having an identity protection system in place should help you avoid this.</p> <h2>Keep Important Documents in One Place</h2> <p>You should put all your essential documents in one place. It can be a tote or backpack that you bring with you. It should include your passport, other identification documents like driver’s license and birth certificate, travel insurance information (including emergency contact phone numbers), any prescriptions for medications you take regularly, and cash in the local currency of where you are traveling.</p> <h2>Never Post Your Whereabouts on Social Media</h2> <p>Most people do not know the effects of oversharing online. Posting your whereabouts online makes it easier for others to track down and find out information. You never know who is watching or what kind of background they have. Leaving a bread crumb trail will only lead the wrong people to exploit your data, even more so when traveling abroad.</p> <h2>Be Careful with Public WI-FI Networks</h2> <p>Apart from public social networks, also be careful when using public Wi-Fi networks. Most hackers use public Wi-Fi networks to steal passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information. Make sure that the website you’re visiting is secure before entering any sensitive data.</p> <h2>Keep Copies of Your Documents</h2> <p>It’s a good idea to keep copies of your documents in a separate bag or wallet. This way, you can take them with you when asked by authorities, and they won’t be lost if your other belongings are stolen from the hotel room while you’re out exploring.<script>var
