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

that individual in the groin or in any other sensitive

body part. Knock that person until unconscious.

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

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.

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.

see a helpless traveler, alone and so vulnerable.

happen.

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.
