What are some travel safety tips I should be aware of?

Answer 1

Always look around for the emergency exits. Everywhere. Public buildings, apartment buildings, buses, ferries, jets. You should always do this, but in day to day life you have a better idea where these are. When traveling and in new places you don't and need to stop a minute and think. Consider the size of the crowd and the traffic flow of a panicked public. If lots of panicked people staying away from the crowd can keep you safe. People have been trampled in busy paths and crushed against doors. Hotel - look at the inside of you hotel door to see if they have an escape route. Ships, know where they store the life vests and the route to the life-raft station. Buses, trains, jets - read the directions on emergency exits so you know how to open one. Jets, locate the emergency exits and count the seat backs to that exit. Consider that you may be crawling, in the dark and choking on smoke trying to find the right row of seats.

Don't take more risks than you do at home. You know less about the risks on travel. If you don't walk alone at night at home, why would you on travel? If you don't leave bars with strangers at home, why would you on travel. etc.

You generally are looking after more valuables when traveling. Don't leave bags unattended. Don't carry all your cash and credit cards in one place. Try find alternatives to carrying large sums of money. Travelers cheque or better, use your bank card at bank machines. Use hotel safes and safety deposit boxes.

Answer 2

Depends on where you are going; but for some all around "no matter where" I'd say

* Beware of your surroundings. Especially at night. Allow your instincts to be in full gear, and if you don't feel comfortable with a situation that seems "okay" remove yourself.

* Don't take open drinks from strangers, even in bars, especially in bars.

* Wear your money, credit cards, passport in various points around your body. DON'T use a fanny pack. That begs "mug me".

* Don't carry anything vital in your pockets.

* Learn at least a few words of the language of the place that you are going.

* Always know the numbers for emergencies in the place that you are going.

* Be friendly. It goes a long way to receiving help when you need it most.

Bon Voyage!

Answer 3

It all depends on where your going. If it's really touristy than all you have to do is watch out for scams. But if it's in the nitty gritty parts you need to wear a money belt under your clothes, don't talk to strangers, and try and find a travel partner.
