5 ways to stay safe and secure while travelling

It’s that time of the year when you are just waiting to pack your bags and escape to unfamiliar lands abroad for a taste of the exotic and the thrill of adventure. Without causing major upheavals in order to step out of Chandigarh, here are 5 essential tips to ensure you are safe and your money and belongings are secure in unfamiliar territory:-

1.Exchange money securely

Since you will need foreign exchange, avoid getting ripped off on the exchange rate by exchanging money at banks and just about any forex dealer, mistaking them to be the best currency exchanger in Chandigarh.

For security and ease of transaction, and  maximum savings opt for online foreign exchange in Chandigarh at online forex marketplaces like BookMyForex. They do all the work for you and get you offers from the best currency exchanger in Chandigarh at the most competitive rates.
   
2.Divide your money

Don’t carry too much cash or all loaded onto one ATM, or credit card. To minimise cash, load some on prepaid cards from online foreign exchange in Chandigarh, which are the handiest alternative to cash. They are available in multiple currencies with the best currency exchanger in Chandigarh and have emergency cash and card replacement services also.

Spread around your cash and cards in different parts of your luggage, the hotel safe, safe deposit boxes at hotel receptions if available, or concealed pockets within your clothing. This way, even in case of loss, or theft, you will have some backup to tide you through.

3.Don’t attract attention

Do not attract attention from pickpockets and conmen by carrying flashy phones, watches and jewellery. Try to be as regular as possible without obvious cameras, fanny packs and sneakers which make you stand out as tourists.
  
4.Carry your own medicines

Whether or not you have chronic health issues even for regular medication carry all the essentials and daily doses for the whole trip. Language, unfamiliar medicines and expensive medical care can make things difficult in times of emergency. Be sure to get travel insurance to cover these, which you can get at very good rates, when clubbed with online foreign exchange in Chandigarh.

5.Share your itinerary with family or friends

Detailed itinerary with flight details, hotel phone numbers, tour operators should be available with your near and dear ones. Also, photocopies of all financial, travel and passport/ visa cards/documents should be available with you and your family. The will come handy in case of an emergency.

Lastly, be sure to get a fair idea through online reviews on online foreign exchange in Chandigarh, hotels, unsafe zones in cities etc. for a safe and secure memorable trip abroad.
