With a change in season and the school year coming to an end for many families, Canadians are planning their summer vacations, and this may include international travel. Service Canada wants to encourage future travellers to have a valid passport before booking a trip.

For EVERYONE travelling!

While Europe has little violent crime, it does have its share of petty purse snatching, pickpocketing, and general ripping off of tourists. Thieves target vacationers — not because they're mean, but because they're smart. Travelers have all the good stuff in their bags and wallets.

If you're not on guard, you'll have something stolen. Over thousands of days of travel, Rick has only been pickpocketed once (on the Paris Métro, on a rare day he didn't wear his money belt) and mugged a single time (in a part of London where only fools and thieves tread).

Many tourists get indignant when pickpocketed or ripped off. If it happens to you, it's best to get over it quickly. You're rich and thieves aren't. You let your guard down and they grabbed your camera. It's wise to keep a material loss in perspective.

There probably aren't more thieves in Europe than in the US. We just notice them more because they target tourists. But remember, nearly all crimes suffered by tourists are nonviolent and avoidable.

If you exercise adequate discretion, stay aware of your belongings, and avoid putting yourself into risky situations (such as unlit, deserted areas at night), your travels should be about as dangerous as hometown grocery shopping. Don't travel fearfully — travel carefully.

So what can you do? Be prepared. Before you go, take steps to minimize your loss in case of theft. Make copies of key documents. Consider getting theft insurance for expensive electronics. Leave your fancy bling at home.

Mobile payment technology reduces the need to handle your cards or cash; if you have a payment app such as Apple Pay or Google Pay on your phone, familiarize yourself with it before your trip.

Wear a money belt. A money belt is a small, zippered fabric pouch on an elastic strap that fastens around your waist.

Never set down valuable items — such as a camera, phone, or wallet — on a train seat or restaurant table, where they are easy to swipe. Keep these tucked away. When using your phone at a crowded café, don't place it on the bar.
