Traveling and safety should got hand in hand. Here are some tips to keep you safe.
1. Take care with what you pack. Find out more about where you are traveling and pack accordingly. Find out what type of baggage is best for your travel such as a body wallet vs. a purse, a backpack vs. a briefcase. If in doubt..leave it out for any item from cloths to jewelery.
2. Take extra precautions with your baggage. Bring cable locks to tie to something stationary, small zipper locks to prevent entry into your bags and get slash proof mesh bags to hold your belongings.
3. Take precautions before you leave. Leave copies of passport, reservations information, credit cards etc with a trusted family member or friend in the case of theft. This way you still have a way to get access to this information.
4. Be smarter than the people out to steal from you. Carry a dummy wallet – fill it with fake credit cards sent out by card companies and play money. Make sure your real wallet is in a secure location so thieves take the fake wallet.
5. Stay in a safe location in hotels and resorts. Ask for rooms away from stairs and elevators so thieves don’t have easy access and escape to your room and belongings. Use all the locks in your room and put a chair against the door while you sleep to alert you while you sleep. Be wary of hotel safes, find out how many people have access to it to make sure your possessions are really safe.
