Traveling to another country or city always carries with it a certain amount of risk. You can get sick, robbed or lost, so think ahead! Here are 4 smart life hacks every traveler needs to know.

Waterproof Wallet

Is your next destination a monsoon one? Well, then, a plastic, waterproof wallet is a must; it will protect your belongings from damage. Put anything inside that you might need: a copy of your passport, emergency numbers, hotel card, cash.

“Do Not Disturb”
