traveler. Especially if you are travelling to a country where diet
and hygiene are enormously different to what you are used to. Of
course, Conditions like vomiting, stomach flu, and diarrhea can
quickly ruin a trip.
Scamming
Travelers run the risk of
becoming possible targets
for scammers, especially if
you dont understand the
language or are unfamiliar
with the culture.
Theft
Nothing will spoil your tour like getting your passport, money or
other valuables stolen.
Violence
Travelers may find themselves getting caught in a violent
crime, especially if you are unaware of the areas that you are
venturing into.
Transportation Risks
Transportation problems might be another issue, especially if you
are traveling to a destination that is disreputable for transport
accidents, has complicated or nonexistent public transport
schedules or is known for its traffic crowding.
Do your research before you
travel?
The topmost rule of safe travel  you
must not be ignorant about where you
are going. Try your best to learn about
the country, the cultural norms, the
political situation, and the safest spots
for travelers, safe accommodations to
stay and the areas or regions that you
must avoid. Go for your trip with your
eyes wide open to avoid unexpected
surprises.
Blend in with your surroundings
After doing a complete research, start your visit to a new
destination as if you were one of the locals. According to experts,
this is one of the best safety tips for travelers. Youll make yourself
more susceptible to con artists if you stick out like a sore thumb
with your huge backpack, two cameras and confused impression
on your face. And you will attract less attention if you make an
effort to blend in.
Dont flash your wealth
Whether this is with expensive gear or cash,
showing wealth will only make you more
appealing to pickpockets and scammers. Carry
a dummy wallet with little money in it so that
you can give this in case you are robbed.
Stay safe in transport
Avoid air travel accidents by regularly checking whether your
flight has been rescheduled or cancelled. While using bus services,
ensure you are going with trusted companies that have numerous
good reviews online. Moreover, get your tickets booked in advance
whenever possible, so you dont end up stuck on remote bus stops
with no transport in sight. If you are hiring local taxis, negotiate
the fare in advance in case the vehicle doesnt have a meter. Also,
do not forget to carry a map with you to avoid getting lost.
Keep your belongings safe
Try not to carry too many luggage pieces and invest in a small strong lock for
your luggage. You must choose something that doesnt stand out, so it doesnt
the impression that you have something really valuable inside. And if you have
a hand-carry with you, not ever leave it unattended. Purchase wallets that have
RFID protection to avoid identity theft.
Final Words
So according to Gavin Manerowski, these are a few things that
every traveler must consider before heading to a new destination.
