Best travel tip: Back up your travel documents! Losing them can cause you a lot of money and time, especially when you’re in a foreign country. You don’t need to bring photocopies of them (what year is it, 2004!?). Just scan them and send to your own email and/or upload to your iCloud. Thank me later ;)
