#3 Driving
Bear in mind that some countries don’t have the strict laws that we are used to when it comes to road safety. In many developing nations, seat belts are not required and the rules of the road are very different. Avoid driving at night where street lighting might not be present and some vehicles won’t have working lights. Road deaths are very common in countries like Africa and Thailand so don’t leave your good sense back at the hotel!
#4 Accommodation
Some excellent advice is to never take a room on the ground floor of a hotel as these are far easier for criminals to access. On first arriving at your accommodation, be sure to know where your luggage is at all times, as many visitors have luggage stolen on check-in. Also, be aware of anyone hanging around, standing too close or appearing to listen in on your conversation.
