What to take and what to leave behind
Usually, when you are going to travel, you used to make the list of the needed things. As a matter of fact, you are proposed to make the list of the needed actions as well. Packing is one of the safety items, too. For example, you are recommended not to wear too posh clothes in order to avoid being a target for the thieves. Also it is better to leave your jewelry at home. The expensive-looking clothes and jewelry could attract wrong attention. Also do not take too heavy luggage or think how you are going to handle it while you are traveling. The matter is that sometimes you would like to leave your numerous bags for buying water or newspaper. Do not blame anybody that you lost something. If it is possible, mark every item in your bag and the suitcases themselves. Make the copies of the documents you are going to take with you and keep them apart from the originals. Also it would be great to leave the copies to your trusted friends or relatives and let them know the phone number of yours in the strange county. Another piece of advice is to purchase some telephone cards in order to be able to give a call oversees. Check if the cards work beforehand. It is possible to learn on the site of the company. Some tourists prefer taking the traveling checks and credit cards instead of cash. In such case it is better to leave the unneeded cards which are used in your native country only, but abroad they are useless. The expensive things and irreplaceable family values belong to the items which are to be left at home.
