You do not need to have all of these numbers with you all the time.  Consider your destination and choose the ones that you think will come in handy on your particular trip.

You can write these on a note card, create a PocketMod, or come up with your own unique way of bringing them with you.  Don’t rely on your phone being charged in an emergency or being able to get Internet access.  Always have a hard copy of the phone numbers on you.
