Here’s a List of Travel Safety Items I Hope You Never Need

Travelling is one of the greatest privileges life has to offer! That doesn’t mean your safety is always guaranteed…

Your safety should always be a top priority which is why we’re going to explore some personal safety items you can easily pack in your bag before your next adventure. Remember, “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.”

1. Portable Door Lock:

Ever stayed in a sketchy Airbnb with a less-than-reliable lock? Yeah, not the most reassuring feeling in the world. Let’s take a moment to thank the inventor of the portable door lock as these handy gadgets provide an extra layer of security by preventing unwanted intrusions. The best part is that they’re compact and TSA-approved, so you won’t have any trouble bringing them along for your next trip.

2. Personal Alarm:

A personal alarm is like having a super efficient and loud squeaky toy right in your pocket. If you find yourself in a harrowing situation or need to attract attention quickly, just activate the alarm with a simple push of a button and its loud sound will send any potential threats packing. Plus, personal alarms are tiny enough to fit on your keys or in your everyday bag, making them an essential addition to your travel safety arsenal.

3. RFID Blocking Wallet:

In this digital age, keeping your personal information safe is more important than ever. Enter the RFID blocking wallet. These nifty accessories shield your credit cards and passport from electronic pickpockets, ensuring that your sensitive data remains secure throughout your travels. And don’t worry about airport security – RFID blocking technology won’t cause any issues during screenings.

4. Travel Flashlight:

Picture this: you’re exploring a charming cobblestone street when suddenly, the sun sets, and darkness descends. Cue the travel flashlight! Compact yet powerful, these handy gadgets illuminate your path and provide an extra layer of security during nighttime adventures. And since they’re typically battery-powered, you won’t run into any issues at airport security checkpoints.

5. Travel First Aid Kit:

Mishaps happen, even when you’re on vacation. That’s why a travel first aid kit is a non-negotiable item for any traveller. From minor scrapes to unexpected food poisoning, having essential medical supplies on hand can make all the difference in an emergency. Think bandaids, antiseptic wipes, paracetamol/ibuprofen, electrolytes, water purification tablets and any prescription medication. I know these things can add a bit of weight to your luggage, but trust me, it is so much better to be safe than sorry!

6. Reflective Safety Gear:

If your adventures involve nighttime exploration or outdoor activities, don’t forget to pack some reflective gear. Whether it’s a vest, armbands, or even stickers for your gear, being visible to others can help prevent accidents and ensure your safety in low-light conditions. As a bonus, this is great for girlfriends like myself with golden retriever boyfriends who tend to get distracted and wander off 🙃

So there you have it – your ultimate guide to creating a travel safety kit that’s both effective and airport-friendly. Remember, a little preparation goes a long way when exploring new and exciting corners of the world. It’s all about adventure, discovery and prioritising your safety so that every journey is as enjoyable as it is unforgettable!

Au revoir, Ahoj, Até já!
