Beat Expensive 3G Charges by Choosing Low-Cost WiFi

- Travellers rely on the Internet for many things: checking on booking information, making reservations, keeping in touch with friends and family (via e-mail, IM and VoIP services), watching videos, and uploading/downloading photos ... the list is endless.

Travellers on a budget should think carefully before using their 3G service to do all this, though, because international data roaming charges can be very high and even 3G operators often advise customers to be wary about up/downloading data when abroad due to the high rates associated.

WiFi access is far cheaper, faster, and easier to use than 3G. With a prepaid WiFi account, you can manage your budget via an online account management tool, top-up from any hotspot without having to re-enter your credit card details each time (a great security plus) and with a "per second" billing model, you know you're getting value for money.

Some sites, like Trustive, offer an enhanced WiFi security web browser. This means that you can make reservations safe in the knowledge that your personal data is protected just as if you were logging in from your home network.

Trustive, a leading international WiFi access provider and No 1 in Europe, has 90,000 WiFi hotspots in 65+ countries around the world.

Bottled Water Can Keep You Healthy

- When travelling to countries where the local water is unsafe to drink, always be sure to purchase bottled water (and check the seals!) When you are finished drinking from the bottle, poke a hole in the bottom so that they cannot be refilled and sold as new.

Cheaper Rail Passes

- When traveling in Europe, it is cheaper to buy individual rail passes if you are only going to one or two countries, instead of buying a Eurail pass that covers eighteen. The individual one, such as the Swiss Pass or the France Rail/Drive, can give you much more for a better price.

Check Your Room Before You Decide to Stay

- When traveling to many third world countries, before paying for a room, make sure to look at the room first. Along the same lines, take a quick tour of the hotel before deciding to stay. Even though some of the hotels may be nice on the outside, what is on the inside is not always up to your standards.

Do You Have the Insurance You Really Need?

- Travel Insurance? Do you have yours? Many people assume their travel insurance covers them while they are outside of their home country. But they do not realize that they need new or additional coverage to protect them against things like medical evacuations, sudden and unexpected emergenicies, terrorism, etc. Be proactive and research your insurance needs before you travel outside of your home country.
