Travel Safety Tips

Some Travel Tips for Safe Travel Overseas

  • When possible register using your first initial and last name. Females should not identify their gender such as Miss, Mrs., or Ms.
  • It is not a good idea in the event you need to make a fast exit from your hotel room to spread your belongings across the room. Each night you should pack most of your items (especially critical papers and important belongings) in the event something goes wrong and you need to leave.
  • When away from your hotel room leave the television or radio on. Also, place the don't disturb sign on the door.
  • Purchasing one or two rubber door stops may work as an extra barrier against intruders. In the event your door seems in the least bit insecure, you can place them under the door for extra protection.
  • Be on guard when exiting the hotel exit for thieves.
  • Pepper spray is not allowed on aircraft. However, it is widely available in many countries. Make it a point to purchase some as soon as possible after your arrival. 
  • If you are assaulted, screaming may startle the attacker and provide you a few extra seconds to escape and or draw attention to your predicament. You may also carry a whistle on you which may have the same affect.
  • If you are attacked remember, your whole mindset should be getting away.
