The travellers passion

He grasped me firmly, but gently, just above my elbow and guided me into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone. He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring voice close to my ear.
"Just relax."

Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and moving upward along my calves, slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my throat.

I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so experienced, so sure. When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my rib cage.
And then, as he cupped my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply.

Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine and into my panties. Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant. This is a man, I thought. A man used to taking charge. A man not used to taking 'No' for an answer. A man who would tell me what he wanted. A man who would look into my soul and say . . . .



"Okay ma'am, you can board your flight now." 

Being a Citizen of the World - thoughts for your vacation.

An aware traveler sees each new journey as an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of humanity.

As the technology of travel grows ever more refined, the world grows smaller. Whereas a journey of a hundred miles once took many days, we can now travel across the globe in mere hours. 

The four corners of the earth are accessible by plane, train, and ship, and there are few pleasures in life as soul-stirring and transformative as travel. In a new land, the simplest of joys can be profound—meditation takes on a new quality because the energy in which we are immersed is unfamiliar. Our sensory experiences are entirely novel. 

Yet the relative ease with which we can step out of our own culture in order to explore another means that we are ambassadors representing not only our own way of life but also the culture of the traveler. As a conscious citizen of the world, you can add value to the locales you visit while simultaneously broadening your own perspective.

A truly aware traveler sees each new journey as an opportunity to improve international relations, spread goodness, and gain a greater understanding of humanity. To immerse yourself in foreign cultures is to open your mind to fresh ways of being. Your natural curiosity can help you navigate the subtleties that define a culture. While you may not agree with all the traditions or laws of a country, abiding by them demonstrates that you understand and respect their value. Staying centered in another culture is often simply a matter of learning about your destination, being patient with yourself and others, and accepting that people may treat you as an example of your country’s attitudes. New worlds will open to you when you take part in the everyday life of a locale—the reality of a destination is in its markets, its streets, and its people.

Traveling presents a wonderful opportunity to practice being open-minded and grounded. The voyages you make help cultivate a worldwide community in which we as humans can acknowledge and appreciate our differences as much as we recognize and appreciate our similarities. Though you will eventually return home, the positive impression you leave behind will remain as a testament to the respect and amicability that marked your intercultural interactions.

The Thrill and Excitement of Deep Sea Diving

Experience the Thrill and Excitement That Only 

Deep Sea Diving Can Provide

Most people that are laid back are those who gets

satisfaction in life by simply having a job, family,

and simple thrills. However, there are also those who

want to make the most out of life. These people are

naturally adventurous and want to try out everything

that the world can offer. These people try extreme

sports, such as skydiving and they also find great

thrill in scuba diving. If you are such a person, then

you will find that deep sea diving can offer you the

thrill, adventure and excitement that you have been

looking for.

Deep sea diving is a different kind of diving.

Commonly referred to as technical diving in

recreational diving, this kind of diving requires

special skills and training in order to be done

properly.

Although scuba diving can provide you with a window to

look at the wonderful world underwater, deep sea

diving can offer you more. Here, you will be able to

explore more than just colorful reefs. You will also

experience having a first hand look at places where

few people have been.

From caves located deep underwater to famous

shipwrecks, deep sea diving or technical diving can

indeed offer you a one of a kind experience.

Also, you will be able to look at marine life that can

never be seen on shallower parts of the ocean. In

technical diving, you will be able to have a chance to

be able to be one of the select few to explore the

deep parts of the ocean.

So, what do you need to do to become qualified for

technical diving?

First of all, you have to remember that technical

diving requires special training. In most scuba diving

agencies, such as PADI or NAUI, you will find that

technical diving courses are readily available.

However, you first need to get certified as an open

water diver as well as an advanced open water diver.

In advanced open water, you will find a series of sub

courses or specialty courses that you can take. Some

are for underwater photography, and you will also see

technical diving as part of the course. You can take

several courses if you want to improve your skills on

your chosen field. For example, if you take technical

diving, you will be able to learn how to dive deeper

underwater. However, you can also take underwater

photography courses where you will learn how to take

great photographs underwater.

By combining these two, you will be able to go deep

sea diving and at the same time, immortalize this

experience with underwater photography.

Deep sea diving or technical diving can be dangerous.

This is the reason why training here is rigorous.

Here, you will breathe special gas mixture,

particularly the trimix, and you will also learn about

the ways on how to deal with fatigue, as well as

dangerous scuba diving conditions that can affect your

body, such as nitrogen narcosis and decompression

sickness.

Although there are dangers in deep sea diving, you

have to consider that few incidents occur thanks to

the rigorous training. Technical divers have scuba

diving skills that are superior to that of the open

water diver.

So, if you want to experience an adventure that you

can never find anywhere else on the planet, then deep

sea diving is for you.

Safety First When Traveling Abroad

Safety First When Traveling Abroad

When traveling abroad, it is very important to know

some safety tips. However, the country of destination

plays a significant role in ensuring the safety of

travelers, specifically the area where you're planning

to visit. Safety first when traveling abroad is always

the priority of travelers.

If you're a frequent traveler, perhaps you're already

familiar with some safety tips. To start it off, never

wander alone even on the streets. It would help a lot

if you have a companion whenever you tour the place.

Try to avoid visiting unfamiliar places alone. As

always, you must not attract the attention of

unscrupulous individuals and you should always stay in

a place where there are a lot of people. If you're

staying at the hotel, their personnel can advice you

in the best places that you can visit, as well as the

places that you should avoid.

Other travelers keep their money and valuables in the

hotel safe. It is not advisable to bring a huge amount

of cash when traveling because you will be a 'hot'

sight for criminals. But there are travelers, who

prefer to carry huge money with them so that in case

there are muggers, they can get away safely since they

satisfied the needs of the muggers.

Here are still some helpful safety tips that you can

use when traveling abroad:

1. Always carry your wallet with you. You don't have

to expose it so that other people can see but just

keep it in your pocket. If you encounter a mugger who

asks for your wallet, don't hesitate to give your

wallet. Jus think of it this way - your wallet will

save your life. Don't wait until the mugger exercise

violence.

2. As mentioned earlier, you need to bring your

wallet. However, you have to make sure that you don't

leave personal details in it like address, contact

numbers, and other essential information. If you want

to get back at the mugger or robbers, you can leave

false details. You can bring as much as $50 and a

credit card for your personal use. You see, you're

never too sure when an accident will happen. Just in

case your wallet is robbed, you can cancel the credit

card as soon as possible.

3. Keep your cellular phone. This stuff is valuable

and so don't go displaying it on the streets. You will

be more prone to snatchers and robbers when they see

an expensive mobile phone in your hands.

4. If possible, don't carry stuff like laptops even if

you're on a business trip. You can just keep the

necessary files in the memory of your USB flash disk.

You can just use the hardware of the company that

you're going to visit.

5. As much as possible, have your stuff insured such

as the phone, wallet, Mp3 players, and other important

things.

Now, why is it that muggers and robbers are stressed

in this article? Well, the reason is quite obvious -

these devious individuals are often encountered by

travelers. 90% of all the traveler's offences comprise

robbery or mugging. These individuals will often run

away with your wallet and other valuables especially

if they see a couple of dollars. Besides, your life is

far more important than your wallet and valuables,

right? You can still earn that money as long as you're

safe and sound.

Safety First When Traveling for Enjoyment

Safety First When Traveling for Enjoyment

You can find a lot of safety tips online and in

offline resources. Traveling is among the most common

activities of people, whether it is for pleasure or

for business. Frequent travelers are no longer

luggage. If you need to place luggage tags, just put

your email address and never indicate there your name,

phone number, and home address.

to a far place. You can see in the news that there are

terrorists who sometimes highjack planes. One

You have to use all your strength in ramming the strap

on the attacker's face. This move will cut off the

attacker's vision and once this happens, you can kick

that individual in the groin or in any other sensitive

body part. Knock that person until unconscious.

3. Don't forget to bring a handy flashlight and

batteries. You can use it if there is no light or you

can even use it against an attacker when needed.

4. Don't forget to carry wallets. If you want, you can

take two wallets with you. One wallet can contain some

non-important items and a few cash while the other

wallet should contain your important IDs, insurance

cards, cash, and emergency contacts. Keep the wallets

in separate places. For instance, the insignificant

wallet can be placed in your pant's back pocket and

the important wallet should be in your coat's front

pocket.

5. When eating in foreign restaurants, you must

acquaint yourself with the place's layout. Take note

of the front and exit doors.

6. Charge your mobile phone at the hotel. When you

leave, bring it with you and other gadgets that can be

easily carried. You can even use these gadgets in case

of emergencies.

7. Never travel alone. Through there are some

travelers who do this every time they travel, you

shouldn't take the chance. Who knows, perhaps they are

just lucky but you'll never know what's going to

happen in the next few hours. Always be prepared.

Remember that devious individuals are just waiting to

see a helpless traveler, alone and so vulnerable.

8. You must be mentally alert at all times. Observe

the people around you, how they move or look at you.

Somehow, you will feel uneasy if something's going to

happen.

9. Before you travel to a foreign place, it would be

best to make a hotel reservation. That way, you don't

have to fumble or ask for directions in trying to

locate a certain hotel.

10. Don't travel with so many luggage unless when

needed. Try to wear comfortable clothes and don't wear

something that might attract the attention of bad

people. Be simple as you are. For women, avoid wearing

high-heeled shoes when traveling.

These are just ten safety measures that you can follow

every time you travel abroad or even locally. If you

follow them, you can ensure your safety.

Women's Travel Guide for Additional Safety

Safety First When Traveling: Women's Travel Guide for Additional Safety

Whether it is for business or pleasure, you will see

that more and more women are now traveling all over

the world. Although this may seem like a good thing,

you have to remember that in other parts of the world,

women are viewed as weak and are unable to defend

themselves. This is why you have to remember that when

traveling, safety first should always be on top of

other things.

So, here are some tips that women can use in order to

have a much more enjoyable and also much safer trip

whenever they travel abroad.

The first tip is that you should always do your

research first on the country you plan on traveling

to. You have to remember that not all countries are

the same in regards to culture. Some countries are

culturally conservative and will have dress codes that

everyone should follow. Always familiarize yourself on

the laws and customs of the place you wish to go to.

Remember that ignorance of the law excuses no one even

if you are a tourist.

A very good example would be Saudi Arabia. If you

travel here, you have to remember that tourists here

and even women were apprehended by the police for

improper dresses. You have to remember that Islamic

nations tend to be very conservative especially around

women. So, never ever do obscene postures when

traveling to unknown places. In fact, in some

countries, it is even illegal to invite people of the

opposite sex in your hotel room. And, only married

couples are allowed to stay in the same hotel room.

Although fashion may always be important for you as it

really does make a statement, you have to remember

that what may be casual wear for you may be seen as

provocative or inappropriate in other countries.

Always remember that you can never go wrong with jeans

and t-shirt that covers most of your body. Also, these

clothes are better option than skirts if you need to

run or defend yourself.

Whenever traveling, it is always a good idea to blend

in with the public. Try buying a local dress and wear

it to give other people the impression that you are a

local and is familiar with the country.

If you want a more secure way whenever you are getting

around the country, always arm yourself. Today, you

will see a lot of safety devices available for sale in

the market and can be brought along legally. An

example would be pepper sprays, where if sprayed on

the assailant's face, it will temporarily blind them

and also disable them for 5 to 6 minutes, which is

enough for you to run away and get help. You can also

try getting a stun gun which has an electrostatic

voltage charge. This safety device will indeed give

your assailant a shock of his or her life and weaken

their muscles.

Whenever traveling in unfamiliar surroundings, always

be alert. It is recommended that you should never

carry your wallet in your back pocket. Always carry it

in the front or side pockets and keep your hands in

there. You have to remember that some places are

notorious for pickpockets and there are even places

where children working with adults can slash your

pants with a blade and get the contents of that

pocket. Always be cautious.

These are some of the safety tips that you should

remember whenever you travel. You have to remember

that as a woman, you will be much more vulnerable to

attacks. By always planning ahead, you can be sure

that you will be able to have a more enjoyable

vacation. Whenever you plan your holiday, you need to

remember that safety should always be first when

traveling.

When Traveling as a Student, Practice Safety First

When Traveling as a Student, Practice Safety First

So you ask, is traveling dangerous? It is quite

inherent that in any kind of travel that a person

does, danger is always just around the corner yes,

traveling entails a lot of risks but there are ways on

how to prevent these kinds of unwanted situations just

by following simple safety first tips when traveling

especially if you're just a student.

As a student traveling far away from home, you have to

consider a lot of precautions like:

* Street crimes may vary in forms but the motive will

still be the same. Even if you came from another

country and have lived your life in a big city, you

will still be startled on how crimes are made in other

places.

* If you came from a small town and it will be your

first time to enter the big city, keep your faith

strong for there are a lot of people living in the

biggest cities with the littlest of hearts and frail

interest.

* If you're going to some place where people can't

speak your tongue, you should've had even the

slightest background of the place's dialect or

language so that you can easily get help.

As you plan your travel, make sure that you are aware

of the different travel warnings and not considering

the places where Americans are not safe to go. You can

also register to the US Embassy of the country where

you're at just in case anything bad will happen, your

country will know where to find you.

At the point of traveling alone in a stranger's place,

it's advisable to stay safe. You can do the following:

* Apply the safety precautions that you have at home.

Think of your new place as danger prone times two. But

these precautions should not hinder your chances of

enjoying your stay. Just avoid walking along dark and

empty streets. As much as possible stash your money in

places where thieves dare not search. Stay alert at

all times.

* If you're boarding a plane or crossing a boarder,

never let yourself carry the items of others even if

you know that person very well. You can't plead "not

guilty" if inspectors have proven that what you're

carrying are illegal drugs or explosives.

* Know about the important laws of the place you're

going to. There are certain places where bribery is

beginning to become a livelihood for some public

officials wherein, to literally go about safely around

town, you have to give a bigger amount. In these

places, your rights can be very thin.

* Pay attention to your luggage. Never let it out of

your sight. There are scenarios that goes "one minute

it's there, the other minute it's gone. In countries

where poverty is their main problem, it would help at

least 10 families to live through cold nights with

that luggage of yours.

* be very careful when riding trains and taxis. You

can easily get lost most especially if the taxi driver

doesn't get what you're saying. You'll just go around

in circles. Worst, it can cost you so much.

Point is: preparation and knowledge will keep you safe

in all your journeys. You can go in a place where

you'll really enjoy every moment that you're there and

in another where you'll curse all the way out. Tool

is, as a student, you must always be aware of the

safety first practices when traveling outside your

place.

Seven Safety First Tips when Traveling with your Children

Seven Safety First Tips when Traveling with your Children

There is a big difference between traveling with an

adult and traveling with children. Even if you have

toddlers or an infant with you, it is a special

specification that adults accompanying their children

must observe safety first when traveling. There are

numerous ways to make traveling for you and your child

safer. Here are seven:

1. Maintain seatbelts or restraints at all times.

Naughtiness can become one reason for your child to

get hurt and cause one to another. Your child can move

all he want as long as his seatbelt or restraint are

firmly attached to their bodies. Furthermore,

turbulence can go without warning.

2. Keep your child's essentials inside your hand carry

bag. You can survive every ounce of tantrums when you

keep in your bag a handful of useful merchandise like

diapers, food and medicine. If you have an infant, you

can bring in two bottles of milk.

3. Position you child away from the aisle. It would be

more appropriate to sit him in between two adults. If

you don't like being seated along the aisle, for your

child's sake, sacrifice. Children love exploring and

reaching out things. They can get hurt unknowingly

when their little arms and hands get bumped by walking

people or by the serving cart. You can also sit him at

one corner beside the windows.

4. Bring toys. Make sure these are not deadly ones.

Toys can serve as perfect modalities to catch your

child's attention and refrain him or her from making

unnecessary noises and activities. Never bring toys

that can hurt, easily break or is heavy. Electronic

games can only be used while the plane is cruising.

5. Control your child. It is your responsibility to

control your child's behavior while inside the plane.

The flight attendant is never responsible for the

supervision of your child. You don't pay them to

become baby sitters. As much as possible, don't fall

asleep during the flight. Children take this

opportunity to wander around the plane and eventually

get lost. You also have to be careful when walking

around the plane with your child for he might reach

hot cups of coffee or silverware.

6. Upon the deployment of oxygen masks, put yours

first. Contrary to what most parents would think, it

is much advisable to put an adult's mask first before

their child. Why? for practical reasons. There would

be a greater chance of saving both your lives than

just your child's. If the adult puts the oxygen mask

on their children first, it will take only few seconds

for hypoxia to come over wherein episodes of confusion

or passing out will happen. A child, especially

smaller ones, will be of no help once you pass out.

This is one very good reason why you must put on the

mask first.

7. Always be prepared for the possibility of

emergencies. Be aware of the procedures that can be

appropriate for your child. First, ask the flight

attendant if they have emergency equipments that are

designed especially for children. Next, be familiar

with the preflight briefing. Lastly, if your child has

a condition that can be an issue, inform the

attendant.

Generally, you have to plan ahead. Ask yourself what

are the things that can help you and your child to be

safe through hours of being suspended on air. It is

your sole responsibility to take good care of your

child by practicing these safety first tips when

traveling.

Tips when Traveling through the Internet

Safety First Timer Tips when Traveling through the Internet

 Traveling can be in different forms. Either on land,

air or sea, it is always mandatory to be safe at all

times. Although another kind of traveling is now

rampant and is continuously happening inside your own

home. It's journeying through the internet streets.

Unlike traveling outdoors wherein you have to go

through a lot of twists and turns and is quite

exhausting, traveling indoors by means of your

internet connection can be a breeze. Perhaps this is

the first time you would encounter this kind of

experience or if not, probably your kids or younger

siblings, whoever it is, there are certain precautions

and safety tips especially for first timers traveling

through the Internet.

Interacting with people via the Internet can be risky

and dangerous. Indeed, a lot of Internet users, even

experienced ones, get molested, abused or fooled just

by hanging out for about 15 minutes, talking to a

stranger. Others can even get robbed because they were

too honest and trustful of their identity that they

are giving it all out. If you are just new, you can

pick up some ideas on how to avoid this kind of

predicament.

The secret when dealing with strangers through the

Internet and making sure that you are safe every step

of the way is through proper communication and keen

observation. How? Pay attention:

When someone asks you things that are quite personal,

like information about your real name or address, be

alert. Never give out something as important as your

home phone number, age, name of friends, and most

especially, your family income. Not unless you know

this person by heart, never spill out anything this

valuable. You may put the lives of your family,

friends and even yourself in danger.

If a certain company or a representative from a firm

or agency tells you beautiful things on how to earn

big, big bucks in just a couple of minutes or tells

you that you can cultivate massive income in not less

than a week, such an exaggeration can put you at risk.

It can spell out catastrophe. Never give into their

sweet words, that in the end, will entice you to give

out something as important as your credit card number.

This can turn out to be a scam and wipe out everything

in your account. Before trusting anything, ask. Ask

for the person's or the company's credibility, status

and standing in the business that is being related.

Passwords are keys to another world and opens

something personal or top secret. Never give this out

nor share it even with your closest friends.

If you have met someone through online chatting, you

have to be sure of the person's identity and how far

can he or she be trusted before meeting in person.

Hope this doesn't burst your bubble but there are

syndicates roaming around the Internet waiting for

their next victim so be very careful. If in doubt, you

can ask someone to accompany you or meet somewhere

public.

Treat the person whom you are talking to with respect

even if the person's not giving it back. Never try to

send bad messages or use explicit or mean languages.

You have to be wary of strangers because not all have

bad intentions. Others can be decent and are properly

behaved. Just to be sure, always apply safety first

when traveling trough the Internet.

Safety First Traveling Tips when Riding a Foreign Taxi

Safety First Traveling Tips when Riding a Foreign Taxi

Riding a taxi can generally be safe. It's safer than

journeying through the subway, at least. But, there

are things, bad things that can happen when riding a

foreign taxi. There have been reports of kidnapping by

taxi drivers in which you have to be aware of. before

boarding any kind of vehicle, consider your safety

first and then be alert of your surroundings when

traveling especially when you're alone.

Tip # 1 - Locate a taxi stand.

If you just came out of the airport, you can easily

find taxi stands around and near the area. It would be

a bit similar to what you have in your country. You

just have to notice the congregating taxis under a

sign that you can't read and that would probably be

it. If unsure, ask a police person. In general terms,

only cabs that are authorized by the government to

board passengers are the ones that can park under

these stands. This also means that the taxi driver is

licensed. Never let drivers that are aggressive to win

you over. They might have another intention than

bringing you to your destination.

Tip # 2 - Know something about the place where you're

heading.

You should have even the slightest idea regarding your

destination. If necessary, try to avoid shortcuts

because this can confuse your memory and lead to

another street that you are unfamiliar with. Notice If

you're heading south and the taxi is going north, be

determined to ask or otherwise make the cab stop for

if not, juts jump out of your seat and ask for help.

Tip # 3 - Observe for cab similarities.

Look at the color of the taxi. Is it he same with

others? Do they have certain similarities that can

assure you of some firm evidence that the cab is

really safe? You can never trust a taxi that seems

different from the others because in some places,

thieves use fake cabs to get your money or sometimes,

more.

Tip # 4 - Keep your belongings close.

If you're traveling alone and your are carrying a

really big and heavy luggage, sit beside it. Keep it

very close to you. Otherwise if it's in the trunk, it

will be very difficult for you to pull it out if in

case anything bad happens.

Tip # 5 - Note phone numbers.

Taxi companies love advertising. That is why,

legitimate taxis are the ones with plastered company

numbers either on the trunk, doors and roofs. Never

get into a taxi that doesn't have the company's phone

number on its interior or exterior surface.

Tip # 6 - Sharing alert.

Sharing your cab with someone can minimize your

consumption and impose some kind of safety within you.

Although, you should try to say "No." if your taxi

driver wanted someone to share with you no matter how

peaceful the stranger looks - especially in foreign

countries. You could end up being kidnapped because

the peaceful-faced stranger is wearing a mask and is

actually a monster.

Tip # 7 - Get a hold of the door handle.

Don't ride a taxi when the door handle inside it is

malfunctioning or is broken. It would be very

difficult for you to escape a predicament with a

busted cab door.

If in case all of these tips fail, always have an

emergency line where you can call local officials. It

is always a remark to put safety first when traveling

especially in foreign countries.

Deep Sea Diving: The Importance of Trimix

Deep Sea Diving: The Importance of Trimix

If you think that scuba diving is all about attaching

an oxygen tank in your back and breathing through it

with the use of a regulator, then you are wrong.

There's a lot more to scuba diving than that. In fact,

pure oxygen is never used in scuba diving, especially

on deep sea diving.

In recreational diving, air is commonly used and not

pure oxygen as most people assume. Air is basically

composed of 70 percent nitrogen and 30 percent oxygen.

However, nitrox mixes are now being used a lot more in

recreational diving as it decreases the chances of

nitrogen sickness.

Although nitrox is still composed of nitrogen and

oxygen, the oxygen concentration is a lot higher than

air. This will reduce the risk of nitrogen sickness or

bends, but it trades off depth. The more oxygen there

is in your scuba diving tank, the shallower you are

allowed to dive.

So, just why is pure oxygen not used in deep sea

diving? This is because of oxygen toxicity. As you go

deeper underwater, the pressure increases and oxygen

toxicity becomes a factor. So, by reducing oxygen in

the air you breathe, you will be able to go deeper.

However, by doing so, you will also increase the

amount of nitrogen in the air you are breathing which

can result in nitrogen narcosis when you go deeper as

well as nitrogen sickness or the bends.

You may wonder how deep sea divers go deep underwater.

The answer to this question is trimix. Trimix is a

special air mix designed for deep sea diving. Trimix

is composed of oxygen, nitrogen and helium hence the

term trimix.

Helium is used because it reduces the proportions of

nitrogen and oxygen. This means that because the

oxygen is reduced, it will enable the diver to dive

deeper. And, because nitrogen is reduced, the diver

will not experience nitrogen sickness or nitrogen

narcosis.

The great thing about helium is that it can be

breathable under pressure and it has very little

narcotic effect. Because of helium's low density, it

reduces breathing resistance at depth or at pressure.

Also, helium does not enter slow tissues as readily as

nitrogen, which causes the bends.

The only disadvantage of helium is that it conducts

heat 5 times faster. Also, during descent, deep sea

divers suffer from a condition called hyperbaric

arthralgia.

If you become a deep sea diver, you will learn about

the different variations of trimix. Some will be named

trimix 10/70 and etc. If you come across with trimix

10/70, it will mean that the gas inside the scuba

diving tank will be composed of 10 percent oxygen, 70

percent helium and 20 percent nitrogen. This kind of

mix is suitable for dives up to a hundred meters or

330 feet.

These are the things that you have to remember about

Safety Travel Tips For More Enjoyable Trips

Safety First When Traveling: Safety Travel Tips For More Enjoyable Trips

Traveling to places that you are not familiar with can

be quite scary. And, to heighten your anxiety, there

are many instances where incidents happen, such as

robbery, murder and even rape. In most cases, tourists

are always the target because they basically don't

know how to act and prepare in such a strange place.

If you plan on traveling to other parts of the world

and really enjoy your trip, then you have to remember

that safety should always be first when traveling.

So, here are some tips that can help you enjoy your

trip more and also increase your safety.

The first is that you should never list your home

address in your luggage tag. If you are on business,

try using the company's address and if you are

visiting friends in the area, you can try putting your

address instead. Also, in order to avoid letting

people know where you live, try covering the luggage

tags.

The second thing that you should do is that you should

always stay with your luggage whenever it is checked.

You have to consider the fact that most robberies

happen during this time. If you get tired and you need

to put the bag down on the floor to let your arms and

hands rest, always step on the handle of the bag.

A small lock on the zipper also helps prevent robbery.

In fact, even a small lock that can be easily pried

open will discourage thieves from even thinking about

robbing from you.

It is very important that you should always carry

important documents and papers with you, such as your

passport, driver's license and everything that you

cannot afford to lose while traveling. Never leave

these things in your luggage that needs to be checked

in. And, if you can, photocopy your important

documents.

When traveling, always bring a handy flashlight.

You'll never really know when you will suddenly be in

a situation where you will need a flashlight. During

the night, even in the hotel, always keep your

flashlight beside you whenever you get some sleep.

If you need to take medications, always remember that

it should be labeled accurately and it should be

filled properly. Always ask your doctor to provide you

with prescription as well as a document stating that

you need to take the medicines. You have to remember

that there are certain prescription drugs that are

prohibited by some countries.

When you travel, you should never draw any attention

from other people. This means that you shouldn't wear

anything shiny, such as gold jewelry, expensive

watches, rings and other things that projects

affluence. And, if you can, try leaving your jewelry

at home, especially if you are not really going to use

it when traveling.

Never accept drinks from someone you don't know,

especially women. And, always keep your eye on your

drink at all times. You have to remember that in some

countries, certain women are raped and murdered

because of drinking drugged beverages.

If you need to get local currency, never ever deal

with exchangers that don't seem reputable. Try asking

the hotel staff or the information desk on the hotel

on where to find a reputable money changer shop.

These are some of the tips that you should remember

when traveling. Always remember that when traveling,

safety first should always be on top of your

priorities.
