Peace of mind.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always best to <\/span><\/span>be over-prepared rather than under.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n


Making memories and meeting new people are why we love travelling. But we should also take into <\/span><\/span>account how we plan to stay safe while we are abroad. Not only must we consider travel insurance <\/span><\/span>but we should also look at taking preventative safety measures too. Be prepared with a few trav<\/span><\/span>el-focused safety products to give you peace of mind while you\u2019re on the move. <\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

When you are researching and planning your trip, consider every step of your journey. You\u2019ll want to think about the <\/span><\/span>potential risks you\u2019ll be taking throughout your trip. From getting there to exploring your destination, and while stay<\/span><\/span>ing at your accommodation.<\/span><\/span>

Door stop alarms<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/h4>\n

If like me, you struggle to fall asleep in a strange hotel room or hostel, you may well have come across these al<\/span><\/span>ready. Wedge these<\/span><\/span> door stop alarms<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span> into the closed hotel or hostel room door <\/span><\/span>and it\u2019ll keep unwanted visitors out by acting as a powerful doorstop. They come with a built-in alarm that will ring if <\/span><\/span>anyone tries to tamper with or open your door. Be aware that they can be set off by the early morning cleaning staff.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Buy them on Amazon for \u00a37-\u00a313 for a pack of 2.<\/span><\/span>

Personal alarm<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/h4>\n

I hope you will never need one, but you never know when a personal safety alarm will come in handy. These alarms <\/span><\/span>will draw attention to you if your personal safety is under threat or find yourself in any other unsavoury situation.<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

The devices I like the most are more like a USB drive than a personal safety alarm, and easily fit into a pocket or bag. <\/span><\/span>The alarm system sounds when you remove the top pin and turns off by sliding the pin back into place. There are a <\/span><\/span>few brands like<\/span><\/span> Noyzie<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> She\u2019s Birdie<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span>and<\/span><\/span> Thopeb<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span>which are particularly compact.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Retractable cable lock<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

If you want to keep your belongings secure while en route or out and about, there\u2019s always the simple padlock. <\/span><\/span>But, in the last few years I\u2019ve started using a triple security lock instead. These extra-strength locks can prevent <\/span><\/span>thieves from getting into your handbag or backpack. It\u2019s given me a bit more peace of mind on those long distance, <\/span><\/span>overnight, multi-stop trips.<\/span><\/span> Lewis N. Clarke,<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span>Zhege<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span>and<\/span><\/span> Go Travel<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/span>have some great options.<\/span><\/span>

Portable safe<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/h4>\n

Keeping your phone, money, jewellery or other smaller items secure while at the beach, can be a challenge. I have <\/span><\/span>experienced this many times first-hand. It\u2019s especially difficult for solo travellers who don\u2019t have someone with them <\/span><\/span>to watch their stuff. I have used this lightweight portable<\/span><\/span> Pacsafe Travelsafe<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span>which you can lock to a tree or <\/span><\/span>other heavy or permanent object. Not only that, it actually looks pretty cool too.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ok, I admit, it\u2019s not the sexiest item to carry around. But, it\u2019s pretty useful if you plan to carry a large amount of cash <\/span><\/span>or if you need to keep your passport on you for long periods of time. There are lots to choose from online but bear in <\/span><\/span>mind that you will wear it under clothes. So choose slimline ones which are discreet and not too bulky. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some brands <\/span><\/span>offer RFID-blocking technology too, avoiding potential contactless credit card theft.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Venture 4th<\/span><\/span><\/a> <\/span>and<\/span><\/span> Seatosummit<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>are a couple of brands that offer this technology.<\/span><\/span>

Anti-theft backpack<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/h4>\n

Anti-theft backpacks can look ugly and chunky but there are a few better options. I particularly like the<\/span><\/span> Pacsafe <\/span><\/span>backpacks.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> They have lots of safety features, including wire <\/span><\/span>mesh between the fabric to make them slash proof and wire reinforced straps. A bit on the pricey side but worth it<\/span><\/span>if you travel a lot. For a more budget-friendly option, there is the<\/span><\/span> Matein Travel Laptop Backpack<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>. It features most things <\/span><\/span>you\u2019ll need for travelling efficiently (including a USB charging port). Although this option isn\u2019t completely slash-<\/span><\/span>proof, it does include a hidden anti-theft pocket that\u2019ll keep your most valuable belongings protected from potential <\/span><\/span>thieves.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span>Personal GPS Tracker<\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you fly often, then you may already have one of these or at least considered them. Tuck one of these inside your <\/span><\/span>luggage, it will allow you to track your belongings at all times. So if you do end up losing your luggage while in <\/span><\/span>transit, you\u2019ll be able to pinpoint where it is and help the airline to expedite the process of getting your luggage back <\/span><\/span>to you. They\u2019re great devices for attaching to anything you\u2019d like to keep a eye on. Am I the only one who constantly <\/span><\/span>misplaces car keys? The<\/span><\/span> Apple AirTag<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span>is a great device but obviously only <\/span><\/span>compatible with iPhones. If you\u2019re not an Apple fan then the<\/span><\/span> Tile Pro<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/span> works with both Android & Apple devices.<\/span><\/span>
