No matter if you’re
traveling alone, touring in a group or hopping from country to country with
a best friend, staying safe when traveling abroad is an emotional issue.
With so many unknowns, a foreign country can feel overwhelming, intimidating
and downright scary. So, here’s the anecdote for fear.
Knowledge
1. Always be
aware of your surroundings. Wear dark glasses during the day
to help you accomplish this task without being obvious.
2. Consider
mapping out a sight-seeing routebefore you leave the
hotel
3. Don’t stuff
your fat wallet filled with cash into your back pocket -
WEAR A MONEY BELT
4. Lock your
luggage. Lock your luggage. Lock your luggage.
5.6.
Look out for the tap water in exotic locations. In fact, just don’t
drink it. Don’t order drinks with ice. And don’t brush your teeth with it.
7. Finally,
trust your instincts. If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.
8. If you traveling to
unknown parts of the world, consider purchasing locks for your hotel room
and a smoke alarm.
