1. Share Your Itinerary
- Inform your immediate family of your travel plans, including departure and return dates. Share your itinerary, hotel details, and flight information. Provide a copy of your passport for added security.
2. Register Your Trip
- Register with the state department or your embassy either online or upon arrival to stay informed and protected.
3. Check Transport Schedules
- Confirm plane, train, and bus schedules beforehand to avoid last-minute surprises.
4. Stay Aware on Public Transport
- Choose seats near people or by aisles and doors. Familiarize yourself with emergency exits and alarms. Stay alert and attentive.
5. Secure Your Valuables
- Use specialized clothing or accessories to conceal passports, money, and credit cards. Keep most funds in traveler’s checks, and use a wallet or money clip for small amounts. This way, if you’re robbed, you can still retain vital documents and cards.
6. Be Cautious with Bags
- Keep valuables hidden and luggage close. If carrying a handbag, keep it in front of you, securely closed. Use your front pocket for wallets, and if a thief grabs your bag, let go to avoid a struggle.
7. Research Your Destination
- Investigate local advisories and consult security officers for updated travel information. Dressing casually helps you blend in and respect local customs.
8. Minimize Jewelry and Cards
- Avoid excessive jewelry and reduce the number of cards in your wallet or purse to decrease theft risks.
9. Proceed to Secure Areas
- At airports, move quickly through security to reach the boarding area, usually the safest section.
10. Stay Alert in Crowds
- Be wary of jostling in crowded spots, as pickpockets often use this as a distraction.
11. Protect Calling Cards
- Exercise caution when using telephone calling cards to avoid fraud. Shield your card and dialing from prying eyes.
12. Maintain a Low Profile
- Use common sense, stay informed about your surroundings, and keep a low profile. Report suspicious activities and follow security instructions.
