10 things need to remember when travel far away

Lost, lost passport, can not find the key when return home... There are many problems that may occur during your travel to other country. To avoid problems during the trip, you should consult the tips below.

Do not fill too carefully on luggage tags
Most of us write full-name, home phone number and address on the card forced into a suitcase, so it discloses too much personal information. Instead of writing home phone (it's not effect when you're not at home), you should write your email address and telephone number.
On the luggage tags, you can write the phone number of the first hotel where you will come or the phone number of friends or relatives will pick you.

Managing when lost luggage
Do not delay, do you personally a statement sent to the responsible person in the room wondering about luggage. If your trips began, you would requested the major items and a needed certificate. After completed the papers, you should make a copy and write down the phone number of luggage room. Bring the papers throughout the journey. Typically, airlines are responsible for your luggage to return even if you from the airport to thousands of miles.

No booking at too high floor.
Reservations should be from 8 or less floor, away from constructions and those floors have supported water pumps. If there is fire, the vehicles are more likely to firefight at the lower floor. The high-rise hotels are also often difficult to maintain steady water pressure at all levels, thus supporting them to pump in a couple of floors.

Check upon check in room
You need to test conditioning, shower, TV before unloading the luggage, in case change other room. Better yet, ask the test room once before. Do not choose the room near the elevator and entering, ask the waiter to clean control TV, telephone and wash cup with hot water, because they may have forgotten to replace the new glass.

Taste strange food
If you are invited to try a food completely new, tastes it, a little. Maybe you'll like. After tasting, laugh and say: "Interesting too." People will appreciate your love and invite to eat more. But do not do that if you see food does not seem clean, especially at street shops. Just smile and say, "No thanks."


Managing when lost
You should visit a coffee shop, where to sit to see a map that does not seem to be lost tourists. Sitting calmly a few minutes to avoid becoming the target of pickpockets population. If you still "give up", ask locals for help. Abroad, the best to ask the young people because they can speak English.

If you are sick
Should enlist the help of hotel staff. They can call for medical personnel to help, or give you a list of doctors or the nearest pharmacy.

When lost passport
You can use a copy of your passport in your wallet. You can also remake passport copy in case it's forgotten. Ask hotel staff or tour guide to find the embassy and immediately report problems. The loss of a passport can make you fall in risk for loss of personal information. You need to go direct to the embassy to fill personal information and take photos.

Prepare luggage to return home
You should place house key and car key at where you can remember easy. You maybe do not use it and forgotten during the trip, but those are the first thing you need when you return home. There's nothing worse than to stand outside with tired legs, sleepy eyes. Therefore, place the key at where it's easy to remember and easy access.

Should bargain when buy somethings
You should observe the local customers to bargain and to decide how much the highest bidder is. Each place has "cultural bargain" in particular, should better ask your hotel staff or the manual carefully whether to bargain when you buy in stores or at flea markets, if you buy something quite expensive, they may use cash instead of credit cards?
Make sure you can pay how much money for items, especially when it's expensive. If you want to buy black pearls in Haiti, for example, if buying it at home, how much, if that much cheaper in Haiti, it is not necessary to insist on bargaining.

If you damage the hire car
You should take photos or camera situation of car and do not forget the date mode. This will prove the extent of damage that you cause the car in case a claim for damage not caused by your fault.
If damaged by another vehicle crashed, you should call the police for even minor damage. If the driver has no driving license and disclaimer, you should have written records of inspection authorities and call the garage while waiting for police to arrive. Usually if the car is damaged to the point can not go forward, the car immediately you will find a replacement, even your fault.
