Some early preparation will stand you in good stead.
We think about things like Insurance when we think that things are at risk: your home, your car and especially, yourself and your family. That’s why when we travel we think about Travel Insurance and Dogtag is unique in its approach: not only do we give you a choice of travel cover options to choose from to suit your personal needs, we also give you a system whereby you can travel with your insurance and your emergency medical information on you at all times – let’s face it, you don’t go surfing with your insurance documents in your swimsuit.
Now travel or trip insurance isn’t the only safety-first option that we need to grab before we travel; we also need to think about taking ownership of our own wellbeing.
Traveling abroad
Foreign travel these is days is, by and large, safe. There is a tremendous amount of information available when you are researching your chosen holiday destination, even the most remote parts of the world will have had someone blog about their experience there. And being armed with information about your destination, all the do’s and don’t will help to make foreign travel safe – you know which parts of the globe are going to be safe and which aren’t. Look at it from our grandparents’ point of view: many of them packed their holiday cases without any real up-to-date information about their intended destination. We have tour operators and the whole of the internet to guide us when we travel abroad now. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to give some thought to your own personal well-being before you travel abroad; things can happen even in the most mind-numbingly boring places.
Know before you go, travel safety
As it happens our respective governments have also given some thought to this sort of thing and both the US and UK governments have websites dedicated to giving advice on safe travel and they’re both well worth a visit regardless of which country you’re from; they’re both called ‘Know Before You Go’.
Y’know, we sometimes forget that the US and UK are the two most influential countries in the world, not always the most appreciated but certainly the most respected and with the greatest collective intelligence on foreign affairs so why not have a look at the resources that they make available for their citizens when traveling abroad
