Everyone knows how important it is to regularly monitor their credit reports. But it's even more crucial for travelers, because they're very susceptible to the growing threat of identity theft. That's why a service like Wallet Shield is worth the monthly $12 fee. The best part about it is that each week, you'll be informed via email if any changes have been made to your account. In addition, members can take advantage of a slew of other services including credit card fraud protection and identity theft insurance.
This website was designed for homebuyers, renters and real estate agents to help them find houses and apartments in great neighborhoods. But I think it’s even more useful for travelers as it shows users a map of what's nearby and calculates the walking distance to nearby attractions. It also rates the address in terms of a Walk Score – doling out scores out of 100, based on ease of access to things like restaurants, grocery stores, parks, libraries and cinemas. I just entered in the address where I’m currently staying in New York City and it was rated 100 – and I couldn’t agree more! I have everything I need within a seven-block radius. So, no matter where you’re staying, at a hotel or someone’s house, log on to see just how “walkable” the neighborhood is. Not only is walking good for your wallet (you don’t need to spend money on transportation!), but it’s also good for your health and the environment.
