This is the initial kick towards any journey. Try gathering all your important documents under one roof. Now the documents will vary if you are travelling within the country and when you take a flight abroad. If you need more detailed advice on the flight check then it would be ideal to look at company websites like Lapeira, which has blog posts on flight preparation before a vacation. Tick on the following documents:

Passport/Visa(s)

Aadhar Card

Cash and Credit card(s)

Personal IDs

Health Insurance Card/Documents

Transport Tickets – Flight, Train, Bus etc

Travel Insurance information

Emergency contacts and information

It’s always good to double-check all your important documents, in case any document has expired. And if you are heading for a long trip to foreign shores, do inform your Bank. Above all mail all your important documents to yourself, you’ll always be on the safer side.

Choose Your Bags Wisely!

Plan for a lightweight, versatile and bag big enough to hold all your essential things. The more number of bags you have, more the trouble you are headed towards. So try accommodating all your stuffs in a bag or so. Now that you will be travelling from place to place, try getting a bag with the option to roll or carry it like a backpack. American Tourister would be a good option!

Now you must be thinking how can this be on the checklist. Well then this goes with the thought, prevention is better than cure. Prying hands can be found anywhere and wherever you go. So the easiest way to keep your belongings safe is to keep them hidden and close to you, i.e under your reach only. You can use a money belt, hidden pocket, neck wallet, undercover bra stash, leg wallet etc. All you valuables like passports, cash, credit cards can be safe that way.

Plan for your Home Sweet Home
