How to stay safe on your travels

Going off into the great beyond is always something to be giddy with excitement about but it’s important to remember that the world is an unpredictable place. Wherever you travel, there are a few things to bear in mind to make sure you have a ball for all the right reasons. Here are a few travel tips on how to stay safe:

Before you go

It may seem like you’re being a bit too sensible to be an intrepid explorer, but getting things sorted before you go will give you loads more peace of mind once you’re there. Getting on with all that paperwork before you go will leave much more room for mountain climbing and deep sea diving….

Important documents

Take two photocopies of all of your important documents, including your passport, driving licence and insurance certificate. Keep a separate copy of each document in different bags and give a copy to a relative or friend, along with an itinerary of your trip and emergency contact number.

Alternatively, you can store your documents through a secure online storage site.

Insurance

It may seem like most obvious thing but it can get forgotten in all of the excitement; you should always travel with insurance that covers your possessions as well as safe-guarding you for any extreme sports and activities… yes, that includes bungee jumping off a bridge backwards in Queenstown!

Travels With My Aunt by Graham Greene

 


Henry Pulling is a recently retired bank manager. He was offered an arrangement after many years of devoted service when his bank was taken over by another. He is looking forward to spending more time with the dahlias that are his pride and joy, and also rubbing shoulders with his former customers in Southwood, an unremarkable London suburb that seems to be populated entirely by retired officers from the armed forces. He mentions Omo quite a lot and is vaguely embarrassed by the fact that he shares initials with a well known brand of sauce. And then he meets his long lost aunt, Agatha Bertram.

 

Henry’s mother has just died. His father died forty years before. He never really knew the father and his relationship with his mother was perennially tense. After the funeral, Agatha takes him on one side and calmly informs him that his father was something of a rogue and that his “mother” was really his step-mother, his true biological mother being one of his father’s bits on the side. Henry Pulling finds himself attracted to his aunt, not because she is something of an eccentric, unpredictable old bird, but also because she retains, somewhere, the secret of his own origins. When she suggests they travel together, he eagerly accompanies, despite the fact that he has never been one for straying far from the nest.
