The best way to avoid this is to have specific safe places to stow such documents, such as driver’s license, passport, money, and medical information. Here is a list of the best ways to travel with these things in a safe way.

A money belt can be a great investment for a regular traveler. It is a garment worn underneath the clothes with a pouch or several to house your money, but can also be great for passports and the like, as they stay on your person and are safe from pick-pockets. You can find money belts at most travel or department stores.

Another option is to get a travel wallet, and though it’s not really any different from a regular wallet, it is at least one specific location where you know your sensitive materials are, so there [...]

Many people who travel internationally do so in order to gain knowledge and experience of a certain country or culture. The main function of Ecotourism is just that: To build awareness and, more importantly, respect for a certain culture and for the environment. This is to preserve and better local populations all over the world, and is a great way to try something new, by traveling to a natural environment to contribute, volunteer or just have vacation time, all the while using non-destructive means; it’s environmentally-friendly travel, and a great motivator to get out in the world.

There are different types of Ecotourism: Agritourism, where tourists are encouraged to explore the agricultural life of rural communities in a first-hand way, either working alongside the people of the community, or shopping there locally; Community Development, which normally takes place in developing countries, and is a means of experiencing a culture by essentially living there with a [...]

Many who enjoy the luxuries and benefits of travel do so with one thing missing: Their furry friend! It’s common for pets to be kenneled, or for a sitter to be found, which can be nice, but wouldn’t it be nicer to be able to bring them with you? If you’ve ever wanted to try it, you may want to look into getting a Pet Passport.

The idea of the Pet Passport came from the United Kingdom; since there are so many surrounding countries it is necessary for a safe and easy way to travel without having to leave pets behind. The passport is designed to allow your pet to travel without having to deal with the red tape and time-consuming list of “procedural security measures”. The “member” countries, or countries that the pet passport will allow travel to easily are: The U.K., the U.S., Canada, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, most of the countries in Western [...]
