Overview

Those who adore travelling would definitely agree that the many sweet memories of exploring the world is the greatest thing that one could ever have in his or hers lifetime. Many might thought that he or she has seen the world by watching television program and reading travelling magazine, but the truth is really they have not. The variety and complexity the world has to offer are infinitely more than a lifetime of sitting in front of the television set and reading that would convey to you. So start travelling if you have not and if you have, share your experiences with the others.

General tips

• Make a note of the passport number, date and place of issue (or take a photocopy), and keep separately in a safe place.
• Check the passport expiry date.
• Write the full details of your next of kin in your passport.
• Leave a photocopy with a friend or relative at home.
• Take a second means of photo-identification with you.
• Keep your passport in the hotel safe and carry a photocopy with you. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, contact your nearest National Embassy immediately for advice.
• Travel Insurance, as the case study shows, things can go wrong on holiday. You could fall ill or have an accident; you could have money or luggage stolen; your visit might be cancelled or cut short through injury or illness; your family may need to fly out to be with you if there is a serious incident. All these risks and more can be covered by taking out travel insurance.
