    3) Hold your mail
    4) Pay your bills
    During your trip

    4) Avoid using ATMs
    5) Don’t over share on social media
    After you return
    1) Check your bank and credit card accounts for unexpected charges

    Great tips for sure! Especially not be posting all over social media that you ain't home! Even have a friend come and move the vehicle out of the drive every now and then.

      Oh… we like the tip of moving the vehicle 👍

    I had not heard of the wallet passport! Thanks for the tip!

    • @RetiredLovingIt

      It’s a mini version so you can show that you do have a passport. It has your passport number etc. Handy to have if you lose your passport or it gets stolen. It doesn’t serve as your main passport but can be proof that you have one and they can look it up by the number. Just handy to have.

    Great travel tips! We follow most of the ones mentioned, but learned a couple of new ones from your video. Have a great week and stay cool. It is in the high 90s here in Alabama!

      Sweltering 🥵 but that’s summer

    Great tips. We don't announce when we are going somewhere until after the trip is over for safety. I don't even tell family so it's not mentioned to anyone. We usually have a house sitter when gone too. I'm bad about not carrying much cash. I probably should carry a bit for just in case.

    • @RetiredLovingIt

      You never know when you might need some cash. We always take some also.

    ☕️💰💵 I bring cash for emergencies, hoping to not have to use it. All your tips are great! We don’t post items online when away that broadcast we’re away. We wait til we are home. We were thinking about taking a quick trip, but it’s unbearably hot 🥵 and humid right now, so we’re staying home keeping cool, enjoying Coffee Talk.☕️❤️🇺🇸

    We live in an apartment and thankfully feel very much safer leaving our home empty while away. Our CC needs to be activated to either within or out of Europe. I tend to turn wifi off shopping- the stores can 'follow' you while shopping and send advertisements constantly for their products. It's not just a holiday issue. Passport always travels with us. A digital copy as well. I have to say - we feel very safe traveling- using our common sense. Many of these issues are also possible close to home. Sadly there are people out there who think they have the right to take what's yours and make it theirs. B~e safe- be sensible-be aware.But most of all - Enjoy life. 👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

      So true. Most is common sense and can also happen while at home. Have a wonderful day. 😊

    Great tips! The credit card one has hit us a few times in the past. Thankfully, our credit card issuer (Chase) no longer requires that as of last year.

    • @RetiredLovingIt
      @RetiredLovingIt  13 днів тому +2

      We only have one card that does that and if we forget to contact them ahead of time it’s frustrating but we understand they are only trying to protect us from fraud.

    • @OurRetireEarlyJourney

      @@RetiredLovingIt Chase used to do that to us and yes it was frustrating. 😁 They are really protecting themselves against fraud as they are wiping off the charges. It does make sense for them to protect themselves.
