Stay safe in your shelter
Your choice of accommodation plays an important role in your safety. Here’s how to make sure you stay safe:
Read reviews
Before booking accommodation, read reviews on reliable websites to ensure that the place is safe, clean and reputable. Look for ideas that talk about safety and security.
Use the hotel security
Keep your important documents, other currency and valuables in the hotel safe. Take only what you need when exploring your destination.
Manage your money wisely
Money is a common target for fraudsters. Here’s how to protect your finances:
Use a credit card
Use a credit card for most purchases, as it provides additional protection against fraud. Tell your bank about your travel plans to avoid card fragments.
Move money to multiple locations
Disperse your money in various pockets and bottles. This way, if you buy a pickpocket’s hand, you won’t lose all your money.
Beware of ATMs
Use ATMs in safe areas with good lighting. Beware of individuals loitering near ATMs, as they may be looking to steal your PIN.
