A portable charger is your best friend, your relay which ensures that your gadgets are charged as you are charged up and alert.

Pickpockets and bag slashers? No thanks!

Take a photo or scan copy of your passport principal page, ID card, or travel insurance if any. It depends of course, but keep these copies somewhere away from the original, just in case.

Tagline: It is said and rightly so that one should never leave planning for the eventuality to the last moment. Carry a photocopy of one’s identification documents just in case to make travel a little easy.
