- 🛡️ Insurance Card: Keep a digital copy of your family's travel insurance certificates in your phone's photo library.
- 🛡️ Hotel Address: Write down your hotel's physical address and phone number in the local language on a piece of paper in your pocket.
- 🛡️ Medication Log: Write down the active drug name (e.g. paracetamol or ibuprofen) rather than brand names like Calpol or Tylenol when talking to foreign pharmacists.
- 🛡️ Power Bank: Always carry a backup power bank in your stroller pouch to prevent your phone from dying during emergency trips.
