What is a luggage label or suitcase tag?

  • A luggage tag is a card or tag with a number of details that can ensure that if your luggage is lost, it can be traced back to you.
  • Luggage tags are also called address cards, luggage tags or suitcase tags.
Back to top

What do you write on a luggage tag?

  • Try to limit your details to the bare minimum to reach you (e.g. telephone number - flight numbers, etc.).
  • Address details of your luggage can be tricky (not everyone needs to know that your house or room has been abandoned).
Back to top

How does a luggage tag or label work on your bag or suitcase?

  • You attach loose labels to handles or in a place where they do not easily come loose. Some bags or suitcases have specific label locations.
  • There are also labels with only a barcode. Your luggage is then easy to trace, but your personal details remain private.
Back to top

What can you use a luggage tag or suitcase tag for when traveling and backpacking?

  • Do you also have one of those standard suitcases? Then your luggage tag will certainly help you recognize your luggage at the airport, on the bus or perhaps even from another backpacker.
  • Someone can also easily contact you when your luggage gets lost or has gone the wrong way. Luggage gets lost more often than you think, especially during transfers, incorrectly checked-in luggage or identical suitcases.
  • Some airlines require a luggage or suitcase tag.
Back to top

When do you take a luggage tag with you on a trip or while backpacking? 

  • All trips: make sure that every piece of luggage (including your daypack!) is always traceable!
Back to top

Where can you buy a luggage tag or tag locally in the world?

  • At airports, in travel shops or larger supermarkets.
  • Sometimes they are also available in hostels, outdoor shops or tourist spots.
  • Or make a DIY label yourself with sturdy paper, a marker and tape/key ring.

What is travel insurance, and why take out specific insurance when you go on a trip or vacation?
Back to top

What is travel insurance to insure your trip or vacation?

  • Travel insurance is insurance that provides coverage for risks during a trip or vacation abroad. This mainly concerns loss of or damage to your luggage, medical assistance in the event of accidents, for example, or repatriation costs if you need to be transported back to your home country urgently. In some cases, travel insurance coverage also applies in your home country.
  • With continuous travel insurance, you are insured for all your trips throughout the year.
  • With temporary travel insurance, you take out insurance for each trip for the duration of the trip.
  • Cancellation insurance reimburses (all or part of) the travel sum, cancellation or accommodation costs if you have to cancel or interrupt your vacation.
Back to top

Why should you take out travel insurance for a short trip, vacation, or long-distance trip?

  • Travel insurance can provide coverage in the event of an accident or emergency while you are away.
  • Travel insurance can provide coverage for damage and accidents during the adventurous or sporting activities you are going to do.
  • Travel insurance can continue to provide coverage if your Dutch basic health insurance no longer provides coverage, or if the damage is only reimbursed at Dutch cost price.
  • Travel insurance can provide coverage in the event of damage, loss, or theft of your luggage.
  • Travel insurance can provide coverage if you are held liable for damage you cause to other people or their property.
  • Travel insurance can provide coverage if you have to return home early because something has happened to you or your immediate family.
Back to top

What is important to insure when you are going to travel?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the countries where you are going to travel and possible work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your full period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you only insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work or voluntary work during your world trip.

Activities abroad

    Back to top

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.
    Back to top

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
