Suitcases
with code numbers:
 |
Try to carry suitcases made of light material with wheels, or
suitcases with numberlock system. Keep your suitcases locked, and
always carry an extra lock and suitcase chains, so that if you have
to leave your luggage for some unavoidable reason, you can lock them
in waiting rooms, hotel rooms, etc.
Take
spare lightweight bags:
If you are planning to purchase items from tourist places, make sure
you carry one or two lightweight bags.
Carry only essentials:
Taking cognisance of time, place and season of visit, carry only the
most important things with you. Avoid unnecessary items like too many
eatables, bulky clothing, heavy items, etc.
Money
necklace or secret pocket:
Avoid carrying valuable things. Wear a money necklace or stitch
a pocket inside your outfit to keep important documents like passport,
credit cards, travellers' cheques, etc.
Duplicate
copies:
It's always better to take photo copies of important documents
and leave them with someone trustworthy. Make sure you keep a card
mentioning important contact numbers, your age, blood group, etc,
so that people may help you in the event of an emergency.
If you are travelling alone or in a group, try and be in contact
with one or two people over the phone, email, letter or fax.
