This post has been written in partnership with Allianz. Wouldn’t it be great if you had an assistant traveling with you everywhere? A jack-of-all-trades sort, someone who would carry all your travel documents, help you stay up to date with flight delays, and who could point you in the direction of real, fast help in …
