#5 Outside The Hotel
If you’re traveling alone or are unsure of the local area then try to avoid walking out after dark. Stay alert when you’re traveling on buses or in taxis, at ATMs or parking lots. It’s easy to be caught off guard when we’re relaxed and focused on having fun but the same rules you apply to safety where you live should also apply wherever you are on vacation.
#6 Cash
Be sure to use the hotel safe so you’re not carrying more cash than you need to when out and about. Using a credit card is a safer and easier option. Think about how you look when you’re out. Does your outfit and demeanour scream tourist? Some countries require that women cover up more than they do in Western countries and too much flesh on show might mean something completely different in the local culture you’re visiting.
