Never carry your wallet in your back pocket.
|
We all know you should never carry a wallet in your back pocket, especially as a tourist. Here is one solution to not only save your wallet, but deter pickpockets :) "My grandfather used to keep his real wallet in his front pocket and a second wallet in his back pocket whenever he traveled. The second wallet was filled with Bill Clinton 3-dollar bills and those generic credit cards you get as part of pre-approved CC offers in the mail." Courtesy of Reddit user 'Rentiak' |

1. Can you free camp anywhere in Australia? NO, you can’t just park anywhere & camp overnight, however several locations across Australia do allow free or low cost camping. Generally these have sign posts advising it's ok to camp. 2. Take it with you. Penalties for littering offences range from $5,000 to $10,000. 3. Campfires.

Pack Essentials in your Carry On![]() |
During what felt like hrs to collect my bags a bead of sweat appeared. 'Pack essentials in carry-on' had been forgotten & now flashed through my head. Even after years of business & social travel, I forgot the golden rule, & it seems I am not the only one. This week alone several articles & blog posts are doing the rounds on social media regarding lost luggage containing valuable and essential items. Travelling can be a challenge at the best of times & the temptation to leave toiletries, an iPad, laptop or other gear in your check-in luggage to avoid additional security is tempting. However, with new improved scanners the days of getting everything out to put on-show are numbered & with travel amenity kits such as Pilgrim Packs its easy to keep toiletries on hand, all leaving enough room in your backpack or small case for an emergency shirt, pants and tie. |
