Photocopy your documents

When you are travelling it's advisable to photocopy your important documents (e.g passport, flight tickets etc) a couple of times. Leave one set at home, and take another set with you in a separate place to the original documents. Even better, travel with a friend and give another set of copies to them to find. This way if anything happens to your original documents, you can get replacements much faster, and in some circumstances, make do without them for a longer period.
