Let’s be frank, there is nothing fun about a travel emergency. When something goes wrong while traveling abroad, getting things straightened out can be exponentially more difficult due to a variety of factors including language barriers and simply not having easy access to your personal computer, filing cabinet, etc...Making copies of your important travel documents is about the easiest part of planning. What takes only a few minutes now may save you hours in the long-run.
Scan, print, and email yourself a copy of the following documents:
- Passport
- Driver’s license
- Emergency phone numbers: friends/family/credit cards/bank accounts
- Travel itinerary
- Travel insurance policy numbers & insurance certificate
- Medical insurance cards & prescriptions
Store the physical copies in a secret compartment within your locked luggage. Take it a step further and leave a copy with a trusted (and easily accessible) friend or family member. While some are weary of sending important numbers via a web-based email platform (gmail, hotmail, etc…), it is one of the easiest ways to access specific info quickly, and as long as you’re diligent about properly logging out of common computers you should be fine. Better to be safe than sorry!
