Sometimes there are unexpected situations that arise during your trip such as: lost luggage, lost passport, broken souvenirs… that will make you have a headache to solve them. There are 10 simple ways to stop those “headaches”.

To prepare for your next trip, take photos and save the following information, according to Wendy Perrin. Taking photos only takes a few seconds but can save you headaches, time, and even hundreds of dollars.

1. Take a photo of the parking lot at the airport

When you return from your trip, you will definitely feel tired and lethargic, which will make you unable to find your car in the large parking lot. The best way is to have a photo taken in advance to know the exact location, floor/space where you parked your car.

2. Take pictures of your luggage

Take a photo of your luggage before checking it at the airline. If your bag is lost or stolen, at least you will have a photo to help the airline identify it.

3. Take a photo of your personal information from your passport

This will help you quickly get a replacement in case you accidentally lose your passport while traveling.

4. Take a photo of the traffic system map

Don’t forget to take a photo of the transportation system map of the city you are visiting. This way, you can refer to it often when you need to get around and explore the city.

5. Take photos of the rental car before and after receiving it.

This way, you will be able to take accurate photos of the condition of the rental car before you drive it and the condition when you return it. The photos will act as a document proving any dents or scratches on the car, whether they were there when you picked it up or after you rented it.

This is not redundant, it will be useful in case the rental car company later forces you to pay repair bills for damage you did not cause.

6. Take photos of signs, advertisements, posters

Take pictures of signs, advertisements or posters that interest you, because you may need them later: restaurant addresses, technical instructions or historical information you might want to remember.

7. Take pictures of souvenirs before sending them home

Take a photo of the expensive gift you bought and send it home just in case it never arrives, or is damaged, you have a photo proof of what you bought.

8. Take pictures of souvenirs you can't buy because they're too expensive

Don’t be afraid to take a photo of any souvenir you like but don’t buy because it’s too expensive. You can still “enjoy” it in your memory in the short term. But if you want to share your enjoyment with friends, a photo is also helpful. If you’re lucky enough to see a local craftsman making a souvenir in a shop you’ve just entered, take a photo of it.

9. Take pictures of your child every morning of the trip

If you are traveling with children, you should also take pictures of them every morning before you set out to explore. If they get lost, you can show the pictures to authorities so they can find them more easily.

10. Take pictures of your child's favorite things on the trip

If your child shows a particular interest in anything during the trip that you cannot afford or afford, take a photo or a collection of photos to keep. These photos will soothe your child when they are forced to leave their treasures behind and return home.
