Lost, stolen and damaged luggage incidents make up nearly half of all travel insurance claims. Back up all of your photos, contacts, and essential documents, and read up on all the common scams and thefts in whatever places you're travelling to. You can't be too careful.

I told them I didn't speak French, they left and by the time I had noticed my phone was missing they were gone.
