Here are some essential tips and tricks to remember to stay safe when traveling abroad.<\/p>\n
The best advice: hope for the best, plan for the worst.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When deciding where to go for vacation, it\u2019s important to invest a little time in finding out about the area of interest. Resort brochures are intended to entice and showcase facilities in the best possible light. It\u2019s a good rule of thumb to look up the intended location through unbiased eyes.<\/p>\n
Overall, the best research is gleaned from people who have traveled to the destination. Do not blindly book your destination after watching or reading carefully created marketing promotions. Those resources only show the location in the best possible light without showing the reality of the location.<\/p>\n
Plan for the worst. It sounds kind of counterintuitive to be excited about your trip. However, it\u2019s essential, so your trip does not become a nightmare.<\/p>\n
Once your due diligence has been completed for your intended destination, be alert and ready during the trip. Situational awareness<\/a> is key to personal security.<\/p>\n The best rule of thumb is to not look like an \u201ceasy mark.\u201d Minimize your appearance as a tourist\/visitor and adopt proven techniques to increase personal safety. This also goes for keeping your home safe while you are away.<\/p>\n Traveling abroad can be a life-changing experience for all. Make sure it is a positive life experience by doing your research, planning, and watching your back throughout the entire trip.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, danger can lurk anywhere that you are. The best way to stay safe is to be prepared for trouble in any environment, especially while traveling abroad.\u00a0 Tim Dimoff\u2019s presentation Street Smarts for the Individual at Home, Public, and Work<\/a>, enable participants to gain the knowledge and situational awareness to protect their personal safety no matter where they are.
