Safety starts the moment you pack. To help avoid becoming a target, do not dress so as to mark yourself as an affluent tourist. An example would be wearing expensive-looking jewelry which can then draw the wrong attention.
You should always travel light. Not only can you move more quickly, you will also be more likely to have a free hand. You will also be less tired and less likely to set your luggage down, leaving it unattended.
Plan places to conceal them and carry the minimum number of valuables. Your passport, cash and credit cards are most secure when locked in a hotel safe. When you have to carry them on your person, you may wish to put them in various places rather than all in one wallet or pouch. Avoid handbags, fanny packs and outside pockets that are easy targets for thieves. Inside pockets and a sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest are somewhat safer. When it comes to your valuables, one of the safest places is to carry them in a pouch or money belt worn under your clothing.
A sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest and inside pockets are considered somewhat safer. In a pouch or money belt under your clothing is one of the safest places where you can carry your valuables.
By keeping medicines in their original labeled containers, you can then avoid problems when passing through customs. Copies of your prescriptions and the generic names for the drugs should be brought along. Carry a letter from your doctor attesting to your need to take the drug if a medication is unusual or contains narcotics. If you have any doubt about the legality of carrying a certain drug into a country, consult the embassy or consulate of that country before you travel.
Pack an extra set of passport photos along with a photocopy of your passport's information page to make replacement of your passport easier in the event it is lost or stolen.
On the inside and outside of each piece of luggage, put your name, address, and telephone numbers. In order to avoid casual observation of your identity or nationality, you should use covered luggage tags. Lock your luggage if possible.
You should also consider getting a telephone calling card. To keep in touch, this would be a convenient way. If you have one, verify that you can use it from your overseas location(s). Published in many international newspapers are access numbers to U.S. operators. Determine what your access number is before you go. If you have an unlocked, tri-band or quad-band GSM phone, you will be able to buy a SIM card and use it locally. This will be a lot cheaper unlike when you are using your home service and international rates or roaming fees.
