  • Essential Information for Luggage Tags new

  • - On luggage tags, only list your first name and email address rather than home address, phone, etc. This prevents luggage thieves from knowing where you live or contacting you via phone in the future. However, the name and email still makes it possible for airline officials to locate you in order to return your found baggage.

  • A Little Common Sense Goes a Long Way

  • - Money belts are cheap idea, and I recommend you invest in one. However they're so common these days that anyone looking to steal from you knows where you keep your valuables. That is - unless you get a real money belt - not the canvas ones that you strap round your waist, but the real ones which look exactly like your common or garden belt, but have a carefully concealed zip on the inner side.

    Keep your cash, travellers checks, etc. in different places on your person when you go out - and whether on the move or stationed somewhere, NEVER keep all your cash in one place. Put some down a sock, some in that little inside pocket of your jeans, etc. Those fanny packs are cool, but I'd never keep anything valuable in them, as it's too easy for someone to grab and run.

  • Be There with Bells On

  • - Place Christmas type bells on your carry on, and when someone tries to move it, you will hear. Always, when standing around or sitting drinking coffee, keep your foot through the strap. If someone drops something, or something happens, look at your backpack. This may be a diversion to steal your backpack.

  • Be Vigilant - Pickpockets are Watching You

  • - Pickpockets gravitate towards busy public areas where unsuspecting tourists congregate: bus stops, train stations, airline terminals, popular tourism sites, etc. Be aware of the people around you, and make sure that all of your possessions are stowed away safely somewhere under your clothing.

  • Beware of Bedbugs - They are Everywhere!

  • - When checking into your hotel room, do a pest inspection before unpacking your luggage. Bedbugs can be lurking, even in the cleanest and most respected hotels. These pests can easily migrate into your luggage. They will then travel along with you to your home or next destination - and they can make an overnight stay a miserable, itchy experience. This bedbug information article gives you information on exactly what to look for.
