Do you have a travel talisman something that you carry to keep you safe whilst away from home? I have a broken gold St Christopher necklace which I keep in a tiny Christmas chocolate tin tucked into a purse which carries spare camera batteries and memory cards.

It’s the only thing I have which was given to me by my Mum and Dad, they divorced when I was child so it’s unique in that sense. I’m a traveller of a certain age so it’s a quite a few years old but has no monetary value and is just sentimental to me. Maybe that is what set me on me lust for wandering when I was about five years old! Not sure if it actually keeps me safe! but there is no harm in thinking that way!
