It never ceases to amaze me that more tourists don't get themselves into more trouble while traveling. Common sense seems to fly out the window when people are on vacation.

You can survive any trip, providing you have the above items - and a cool head!

Don't panic if disaster strikes while you are away from home - help is available in every country.  If you have access to sufficient funds, you can always buy new clothes and supplies, and a ticket home. 

I hope you find these travel tips of value. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please don't hesitate to email me.  I always appreciate feedback...
