    If you have ever traveled with any of your valuables, then you know that a jewelry case is essential in these circumstances. A good travel jewelry case will keep jewelry organized as well as safe. Jewelry cases for travel, if properly made, are designed with these objectives in mind. A good travel case will protect the jewelry that is inside of it, of course, but will also be strong enough to accommodate the demands that travel makes. Such cases can also be fashionable accessories in and of themselves. An interested traveler with good materials and an artistic streak can make a case themselves, but anyone without the time or the inclination can get one from a retailer. Travelers can choose from many materials for their cases, including leather, plastic, aluminum, and a wide variety of fabrics.

    The retailer L.L. Bean sells lightweight travel cases with dividers that organize as well as protect the jewelry. On one side of the case, soft pegs are arranged in rows to keep the chains of different bracelets and necklaces from tangling. Storage trays are provided on another side for rings, watches, pins, and cuff links. The case comes with a velvet liner that protects against tarnish and scratches, and the exterior of the case is protected with a rubber coating. The case opens easily, with one quick touch. Although designed to withstand the needs of travel, the case can also be used at a home as a simple and practical jewelry organizer.

    Red Envelope’s Wolf Designs collection offers beautiful leather jewelry cases. The company’s trademarked faux suede is used to protect against tarnish and scratches. There are lots of compartments inside the case, but the case itself is still compact enough for a small safe in your hotel. There is even a pull-out case inside of the larger case, and you can order the nickel tab engraved with initials. Like the L.L. Bean case, these jewelry cases can be used for home use or travel.

    Some cases are less conventional. Brookstone offers a case made of leather with tucked corners and detailed stitching. The case is portable and boasts neat compartments for careful organization. It is available in several colors and can also be monogrammed.

    Some of these organizers can cost a lost of money, but there are more frugal alternatives. Baggallini offers mini European-inspired cases for travel that range between ten and fifteen dollars, and also come in many varieties.

  • What Can Women Do To Avoid Sexual Harassment When They Travel On Vacation?

    Posted on June 19th, 2009 joediv No comments

    The women of today are venturing out and traveling more globally then at any time in history. Female travelers, whether traveling alone, with a companion, or as a group, are encountering different cultures, religions, and societies. With this freedom comes some significant risks that men may never encounter. It is therefore prudent for women who plan to travel to learn how to handle themselves when on holiday, studying abroad, or traveling on business.

    What are some things you can do that may help you have a safer and more enjoyable travel experience?

    If you are traveling, or on vacation, your best protection is to understand the local culture and customs of the country you are visiting. What you observe when you watch how the local women behave and dress will give you valuable clues on how to avoid sexual harassment.

    If the local women cover their hair and their arms and legs then you should do that also. Do not wear bikinis, swimsuits, or short shorts in towns where local women are all covered up. Dress conservatively.

    Avoid direct eye contact with men as they might construe this as flirtatious. Do not talk, smile, or wave to strange men who smile or say hello to you. If a man follows you, cross the street. If this doesn’t work, find a policeman, or enter a store and ask for help.

    If you need to ask for directions, always ask a woman. And, if you are traveling by bus or train, always sit with other women.

    It is a good idea to carry a versatile head scarf in your handbag just in case you need to cover your head and arms.

    You may want to wear a fake wedding ring to help ward off and discourage any unwanted male advances if you are not married.

    You should wear a referee’s whistle around your neck under your blouse. It could come in handy.

    Consult guide books on the countries and areas that you are traveling to or through to give you a heads up on what to expect. Also, carry a foreign language phrase book with you to help you communicate with people when you get there.

    Do not wear expensive looking jewelry, watches, camera carrying cases, or even designer handbags. You don’t want to tempt any would be robbers or muggers. Take a conservative outfit along with you in case you need to wear one on certain occasions.

    If you are traveling alone, it is best to travel light. For one thing you will be more mobile because you aren’t loaded down with luggage. If it’s not too small for your belongings, a wheeled, carry-on bag, or a backpack may be you best bet. It is important to try and have one hand free at all times. Having two hands free is even better. You should wear a shoulder bag that has a strong, wide strap that will fit over your head. Wearing the shoulder bag this way may help prevent someone from grabbing the bag and running away with it. The bag should also have secure, zippered pockets.
