Things sometimes don’t go as planned during your trip to another country. Emergencies can happen and you can’t prepare for all of them but at least you can try by having emergency numbers which you can quickly dial for help if need be. These emergency numbers can be stored on your phone, written down on a piece of paper and stored safely or maybe you can memorize a few of them if you have a good memory.
It is important to track down emergency service numbers for the country you are visiting even before you board a plane to that destination. One contact you need to have on arrival is for your hotel’s front desk. You will realise how it comes in handy during your visit.
You should also have your country’s consulate or embassy’s contact. Having their contact will be very crucial when dealing with any serious problem when you are in a foreign country.
