5 Things to Know when Traveling:
1. Make digital AND physical copies of your passport.
Email it to yourself. Save it in the cloud. Send it to a loved one. When it’s gone, this makes reporting and replacing it so much easier.
2. If your passport is stolen, you NEED a police report from the country where it happened.
You can’t get an emergency passport or continue your journey without it. This is non-negotiable. File it immediately.
3. Make sure “Find My” is turned on — for everything.
Before you travel, double check that Find My is active on your phone, and that your AirPods, laptop, iPad, etc. are updated, registered, and attached to your Apple ID.
If they’re not synced or haven’t been located recently, the system will only show the last known location when they were online — which may not help when they’re stolen. (This is really important)
4. Keep essentials ON your body — not near you, not beside you, ON you.
5. If your devices are stolen, go online immediately and lock them remotely.
Use iCloud or your device management platform to mark them as lost, display a contact message, and erase them if needed. This prevents anyone from accessing your personal files, emails, or apps — even if the device is offline now, the action will trigger once it’s turned on.
ALSO - Keep an extra phone chargerer somewhere else, not all in the same place.
