Most companies offer fraud protection services that will flag your account after an unusual amount of transactions overseas.

Make a copy of your passport and store the copy in the most secure area of your bag, email a copy to yourself for easy access when needed, and be sure to leave a copy with someone back home whom you can easily contact.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>Know Your Airports<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Planning the exciting parts of your trip \u2014 the places\u00a0to visit, the best foods to eat, and the best tours to take \u2014\u00a0is the easy part.
