Travelers have revealed their best way to stay safe abroad and not lose their travel documents. The place turned out to be modern, and most tourists would hardly have guessed at once. One of the experienced travelers on Reddit told about a cozy “hiding place” for important papers.
With covid restrictions requiring travelers to have a solid list of documents more than ever, keeping them in one place can help in the event of an emergency.
As the experienced traveler explained, important travel documents should be digitized and stored on your phone and in the cloud so that you can always access them. “Storing a copy of your passport and ID in the cloud is very useful if you are ever robbed or you lose the original. It is much easier to replace the lost ones with copies by presenting them to your embassy, ” the tourist added.
Losing a passport abroad can be a big problem for travelers, as agencies often require confirmation of a passport printed on paper. Having digital versions of documents online can save you time and nerves. This also applies to vaccination certificates and forms of entry for passengers, which are now required in most countries.
In addition, to increase safety, travelers can use the services of online storage during the holidays. The safety of travel documents is crucial for the peace of mind of the holidaymaker. “Make sure you keep everything in one place by scanning all the paper documents and storing them on the Internet so you can access them from anywhere on the Internet,” explained the travelers.
“DropBox, iCloud, Google Drive and OneDrive are popular cloud storage services, and they all offer basic storage for free. If you are not an editor of movies that travel with terabytes of data about yourself, you are unlikely to need more than 1 GB for each trip,” – added the experts.
Documents that experts recommend storing in the cloud storage include passports, travel insurance, any visas and ESTA, boarding passes, details of where the owner of the documents is located, as well as any emergency numbers and driver’s licenses.
