One piece of advice suggested scanning your passport and identification documents and saving them on Google Drive/Google Docs. Would you suggest that as well? I get nervous e-mailing them to myself in the event someone breaks into my address, but if I put it on a flash drive, that could be stolen too.
I definitely agree with printing out maps and looking ahead of time. People rely on cell phones, but they don’t always work properly and if the Wi-Fi isn’t reliable, you’ll be stuck.
Great tips!
Hey Brooke!
I always send the copies to my email (and put them on a cloud too) so I can easy acces them from everywhere in world in case I need . I don´t like to carry flash drives as I always lose them 🙁
One trick is, I always send the email with my information with a very silly subject that no one will bother to open and read… hahaha.
About the maps you are totally right. This week we are travelling by car and I thought the mobile coverage would be good all the time so I didn’t print out the maps. Such an stupid mistake, I got completely lost trying to find our hotel in Milan. …hahahahaha
All the best,
Nat
