While enjoying a paradise resort, losing your valuables is the last thing anyone wants to go through.

It won’t only ruin your idyllic vacation, but could also see you stranded in a foreign country.

But to prevent sticky-fingered pickpockets from reaching into your bag, you should follow one trick that would keep them at bay.

Thieves often look for wallets and anything that could contain something of value.

That’s why stashing your cash and tiny valuables in an empty sunscreen bottle can be the perfect solution.

It is unlikely that bandits would snatch your lotion in their search for treasures, and it doesn’t look out of place at a beach.

You could even hide your keys and other small things in a coffee cup, but beware that someone might throw it away – or, the wind can pick it up.

The best part of this hack – you don’t need to spend a penny for theft-proof bags or safes.

All you need is an old bottle of used sunscreen – just make sure to clean it thoroughly before putting anything important inside.

Before you board a plane, a travel expert has revealed a little-known luggage tip that can save you some pennies on your flight.

Another travel guru has shared why you should always avoid the pre-flight airport beer – or risk ruining your holiday.

As flights can be long and economy seating cramped, here are the simple clothing choices passengers ought to make when flying, but often don’t.

Meanwhile, it’s important to work out how you’re going to pay for things sooner rather than later because it could save you cash.

This crucial tip is often forgotten by holidaymakers when settling a bill abroad, but could add up to £50 to bills.
