Handy Tip
Keep a list of important phone numbers ( credit card companies, any other ones you need) etc separate from your wallet and documents, that way if you lose your credit card etc you can call and cancel the cards and order new ones.

Hi Martyn and welcome to the HUBB
Yes a very sensible sugestion, My big 'faux pas' was not having copies of phone numbers when my mobile phone stopped working, and neither myself or mobile provider could retrieve my numbers, this happened twice!!. Beware if you own one of the yellow JCB phones, I also believe the identical phone is colour matched green and badged 'Land Rover'.

Probably worth emailing the whole list to yourself too (provided you are happy with your security) then worst case is you have to go to an internet cafe to retreive your info.

Another brilliant idea.......Thanks!
you could also take copies of your documentation, cards, passport, anything important and keep them on a small USB Pen drive....attach that to a keyring or wear as a pendant...... you can keep a stack of info on a pen drive and just about ANY computer can access them these days.....so you may want tp password protect certain files
DO NOT password protect ANY documents with medical info about yourself.
EMT's and Ambulance people may need to access that info.
Put a RED CROSS LOGO on the pen drive to make it clear that they should look there too.
Time saved in an Emergency during the "Golden Hour" ( the first 60 minutes after a serious accident or injury is known as the golden hour........) is vitally important.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
