Travel Safety

When traveling to different countries or large city's it is really important to know how to keep yourself safe. Some safety considerations include being aware of one's surroundings, avoiding being the target of a crime and leaving copies of one's passport and itinerary information with trusted people if traveling outside the country.

For me, when I went out of the country our guides told us to keep our passports and cash on our person. I used a passport holder that goes around your neck to store my important items. Pick pockets are rampant where ever you go so its better to be safe than sorry. My biggest tip for traveling abroad is to use basic common sense, if your alone keep on good streets in plain sight. Also flashy dressers will more likely be seen as easy targets so keep it simple. Have fun and be careful ( also a can of pepper spray couldn't hurt ;)
