You can use a small bath towel , the kind that hotels give you. To be even more relaxed, Cici recommends closing the latch with a rolled-up towel which will also make opening the door more difficult.
Were you aware of this technique? If you are only learning it now, we are sure that the next time you travel you will put it into practice too : it will be extremely useful, guaranteed!
However, the friendly American hostess also has other intelligent advice that can make our trip peaceful and comfortable. For example, Cici recommends always counting the number of doors found in the exit stairwell.
For what reason? Because in the event of a fire , if visibility is reduced or if there is too much smoke, you can orient yourself better towards the emergency exit or the stairs. Safety is essential when traveling and even more so if you are staying alone in a hotel room. For example, always make sure that the door is always closed perfectly.
Who says anyone doesn’t have a duplicate key ? To avoid unpleasant surprises, you could put a chair behind the door when you’re inside or hide everything you have precious in the safe without leaving anything lying around when you’re out.
Have you ever heard of portable locks ? These are actually some particular padlocks made specifically to be positioned in the space near the latch or where the lock is located.
This way you can protect the door by preventing it from opening both inwards and outwards. There are therefore various solutions for traveling safely and above all for enjoying your stay away from home in peace.
