What’s the most important item not to lose when traveling? That’s right, your passport!

Well just in case you do lose your passport, guess what’s the next best thing to have? A copy of your passport.

So as you’re packing, be sure to make multiple copies of your passport. Leave one at home with a responsible parent, sibling or friend. Then take at least two copies with you on your trip. Put each copy in a different secure place. Such as, tuck one in an inner compartment of your suitcase, and put the other inside your backpack.

Just always know where your passport is at all times, then you shouldn’t need these copies.
