When traveling, there are many things that can go wrong. You may get lost or forget something important, but it’s possible to minimize these problems by being prepared. Planning ahead and knowing what you need to bring with you will make your trip more enjoyable and less stressful.
Wear comfortable shoes.
- Wearing comfortable shoes is essential to your comfort while traveling. Make sure your shoes are appropriate for the activity you’ll be doing and the weather you’ll be in, as well as the type of terrain you’ll encounter.

The most common mistakes people make when traveling are not wearing comfortable shoes. It is essential to your comfort while traveling. Make sure your shoes are appropriate for the activity you’ll be doing and the weather you’ll be in, as well as the type of terrain you’ll encounter.
Layer your clothing.
The layering principle is simple: you wear a base layer of clothing underneath, then add one or two layers of insulation on top. This will help regulate your body temperature while you travel, depending on the weather conditions at home and abroad.
If you’re prone to feeling cold, use a down jacket as your outermost layer to trap heat. For those who tend to get hot easily during travel, use synthetic fabrics like fleece as an insulated middle layer instead.
Opaque fabrics are better than translucent ones because they protect against UV rays—as well as frostbite if it’s particularly chilly where you’re going in wintertime! If possible, choose darker colors that reflect heat rather than absorb it (like black).
Avoid wearing anything of importance.
Whether you’re traveling for work or pleasure, it’s important to be cognizant of what you’re wearing and how much it could mean if lost or stolen.
Most travelers are tempted by the idea of packing as much as possible in their bags, but this can also increase your risk of losing expensive items. To avoid this problem completely, consider leaving out anything that can’t be replaced by a cheap version or quickly replaced with cash:
- Jewelry
- Watches (unless they’re waterproof)
- Expensive clothing (not only because it might get stained) but also because the more expensive it is, the more likely someone will want to steal it!
Instead, wear things that you can live without in case they get lost or stolen.
When you’re travelling, you never know what might happen. You could be pickpocketed, or your luggage could be stolen. In the event that something does go missing, it’s much easier to replace items if they’re not important or expensive. Instead of wearing a money belt full of cash and credit cards, carry only the essentials in your wallet and leave everything else behind. If you absolutely can’t stand the thought of being without your camera while on holiday, bring your phone instead so that you’ll have photos at least!
That said:
- Wear a watch
- Wear a camera (but also bring a phone)
- Bring a wallet (and maybe some cash)
Avoid wearing a backpack when you’re traveling internationally. While this might seem like common sense, it’s often overlooked and can be the easiest way for thieves to steal your belongings. Be aware of the pockets on the backside of your jeans and other clothing items so they don’t end up getting snagged while going through security at an airport or riding public transportationDon’t wear a pen. Don’t carry a notepad. You probably won’t need to make note of anything, so why bother? If something is important enough to write down, you can always write it on the back of your hand..
Do not check bags if you can avoid it.
If you can avoid checking bags, do it. Checked bags are often heavier and harder to carry than carry-on luggage, and they’re much more likely to get lost or damaged in transit. They can also be stolen out of the overhead compartment by other passengers (this has happened to me), or opened and searched by TSA agents—and I’ve seen this happen too. If your bag does not arrive at its destination with you, then it’s gone for good; if a checked bag is delayed or lost entirely, there are no promises that it will ever appear again.
Checked bags also expose travelers’ belongings to theft when left unattended in airports or on buses or trains. A friend told me about how his suitcase was stolen while he waited in line at security. When he realized what had happened and went back through security with an empty bag, he found his original suitcase waiting for him at baggage claim; someone had simply taken the entire thing from its spot in line!
When traveling internationally, wear a money belt around your waist under your clothing to protect from pickpockets.

- Keep your passport and other important documents in a money belt as well as some spending cash. Do not keep them in the same place as your phone or wallet.
- Avoid carrying purses while traveling abroad because they are easy to steal and bulky to carry around when you’re trying to get through security at the airport or on public transportation. If you do want to carry something small with you for money, credit cards, IDs and other valuables, consider using a cross-body bag instead of a backpack or shoulder bag so that it won’t be easily snagged by someone behind you on the subway platform.
Get a passport holder to keep all of your travel documents safe and together so you do not have to worry about where everything is or about losing things.
