How do I stay internet safe when travelling?

I am new to RVing and travelling. How do I stay internet safe whilst using public wifi on sites etc so that I can keep in contact with personal banking sites etc whilst away from home? Not very computer savvy so simple instructions if possible. Thanks.

    Either don't use public WiFi or don't use the internet depending on how worried you are about it.

    Don't use public WiFi. Get a MiFi unit preferably from Verizon. Or get a smart phone that lets you set up your own hot spot. And you'll enjoy your MiFi when the public WiFi is so slow it's really not usable.

    You can still use public WiFi for browsing and mail to keep your personal data usage down.
