Traveling during the holidays can be joyful, but a little preparation makes all the difference.

Before you leave, weather-proof your home by sealing drafts, insulating pipes, and securing outdoor items. Add peace of mind by setting light timers, locking windows, and asking a neighbor to check in. On the road, share your itinerary, keep medications accessible, and take breaks to stay alert.

Better yet, live somewhere that’s always travel ready.
