🔒 1. Research Your Destination
Before you go, understand the local customs, laws, political climate, and common scams. Knowledge is your first layer of protection.
🛄 2. Keep Documents Secure
Make photocopies or digital backups of your:
-
Passport
-
Visa
-
Travel insurance
-
Flight details
Keep originals in a safe place and carry copies when exploring.
📱 3. Stay Connected
Ensure your phone is unlocked and can use international SIM cards or roaming. Share your itinerary with a trusted contact back home and check in regularly.
🚕 4. Use Trusted Transport
Avoid unmarked taxis or rides from strangers. Use licensed transport services, hotel shuttles, or trusted apps like Uber or Bolt where available.
💳 5. Protect Your Money
Carry a mix of cards and cash. Use RFID-blocking wallets to prevent digital theft and avoid displaying large amounts of money in public.
🏨 6. Choose Safe Accommodations
Book hotels or guesthouses with good reviews, secure entrances, and 24/7 front desk service. Use hotel safes for valuables when possible.
🧭 7. Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off, don’t hesitate to walk away or seek help. Always follow your gut—it’s your best natural defense.
🌐 8. Stay Aware Online
Be careful when using public Wi-Fi. Avoid logging into sensitive accounts and use a VPN for added online protection.
🧳 9. Blend In
Avoid flashy jewelry or items that may attract unwanted attention. Dress modestly and observe local dress codes to stay respectful and low-key.
🆘 10. Know Emergency Contacts
Familiarize yourself with local emergency numbers, your country’s embassy or consulate, and hospital locations near your accommodation.
