Whilst travelling gives great excitement and adventure, it also can be difficult to travel with all your belongings and keep them safe. Through good preparation and awareness you can enjoy your holiday and not need to worry about theft or losing your belongings.

Here are our 9 top tips to manage your personal belongings whilst travelling and prevent theft:

• Pack minimalistic – light clothing, nothing valuable and no jewellery (except for a watch). Never flaunt your valuables whilst travelling – it may make you a target.
• If you plan to take any electronic devices, make a list, as any loss of these items will need to be reported to your travel insurance provider when making a claim.
• Make sure your handbag is secure and closed at all times. Never leave it out of your line of sight.
• Use a secure Travel Money Belt – for your passport, cards, cash and flight ticket whilst at the airport and on public transport.
• Use a small wallet and choose only minimal cards to take with you (eg. Credit and Debit card/s). 
• Do not travel with large denominations of cash. You will have access in most places to withdraw cash as you need.
• Use reputable enclosed bank ATMs and avoid using street ATMs where possible. Hospitals, hotel lobby’s and shopping centres have reputable ATMs.
• Ensure that you always use the safe provided in our associated hotels and hospitals to secure your passport, extra cash and other valuable items.
• Always be aware of your surroundings. Keep your eye on people and things happening around you.

Please remember that you (and your companion), are responsible for all of your personal items and valuables that you bring. CosMediTour and our associated hospitals and hotels are not liable nor accountable for any losses or theft whilst you are on your Surgical journey.
