Whether you travel for business or pleasure, travelling in a foreign country can be a challenging experience with it's own unique safety issues.
Below are suggestions for safe travelling:
1. Dress conservatively – thieves are attracted to things of value
2. Bring extra medications with you – prescriptions are not always easy to obtain overseas so bring extras
3. Get required inoculations – check with the tourism boards of places that you are traveling to see if immunizations are suggested or required.
4. Pack light and leave valuables at home – only take the essentials and store valuables in the hotel safe. Don't leave valuable on display in your hotel room.
5. Don’t carry a lot of money –use credit cards or travellers checks wherever possible and only carry small amounts of cash. Cards are easy to replace.
6. Invest in a shoulder wallet – by keeping your checks and credit cards close to your body, it will be harder for a pickpocket to take them from you. These wallets go under your shirt or jacket so that thieves can not just take your wallet from your back pocket.
7. Keep money and traveler’s checks separate – try to keep your traveler’s checks in one place, but your credit cards in another. If a thief takes one of them, at least you’ll have the other.
8. Get a calling card – if you need to make an emergency call, you may not be able to rely on your cell phone.
9. Stay in larger hotels on the second to seventh floors – These floors are accessible to emergency crews and are also easier to evacuate from should you need to. By staying on higher floors, you also make it more difficult for thieves.
10. Stay alert – the best advice for anyone is to always be aware of your surroundings and trust any ‘bad feelings’ that you might have. If you think that something is not right, it may not be. It’s best to leave that situation to be safe.
