Do’s & Dont’s

Travel smart, travel safe! Traveling abroad can be one of the best times of your life, or one of the worst times of your life depending on what you do while overseas. Below are some suggestions that will be helpful for you while traveling.

DO’s

• Do be aware of your surroundings and watch for suspicious people or vehicles.
• Do respect local culture, customs and traditions.
• Do use cash substitutes such as traveler’s checks or credit cards, and only carry as much money as you immediately need.
• Do lock up valuables you are not taking with you in a safe in your room or use your hotel’s safe-deposit box services to store them; and lock the windows and doors your hotel room when going out.
• Do make a note of your credit-card numbers and the phone number to call in case you need to report it stolen and cancel it.
• Do dress appropriately for your surroundings as much as you can; looking more like a local makes you less of a mark than looking like an obvious tourist.
• Do put a band around your luggage as a safeguard against pilferage while in transit; suitcase locks are no barriers to a professional thief.
• Do travel with companions while sightseeing or shopping; there is safety in numbers.
• Do keep vehicle doors locked and windows rolled up when driving.
• Do be alert for staged distractions, such as someone bumping into you, spilling a drink on you, dropping something in front of you or causing a loud commotion; an accomplice can steal your valuables and walk away while you are momentarily distracted.
• Photocopy Your Passport – Carrying around a copy of your passport (the page with your photo and other important information) is a must when traveling abroad, just in case your passport is damaged or lost.
• Try New Foods – Don’t be one of those travelers who is scared to eat new things. Try something new!
• Do Check Out the Culture – Your interests may not lie in seeing art works and performances I’m languages you can’t understand but experiencing culture in a foreign land is incredibly eye opening and a fun experience.
• Do Pack Layers – Weather can change quickly when you’re exploring new lands and finding properly fitting clothing when in foreign countries may he harder than you expect.

DON’Ts                 

• Don’t carry and flash large sums of cash, nor exchange money at dubious-looking places or with individuals on the street.
• Don’t look like a tourist by dressing like one, appearing lost or consulting a map in public.
• Don’t walk with a bag slung loosely over one shoulder and keep your bag on the opposite side of you from the road to forestall a thief on a bike from snatching it.
• Don’t carry a backpack that looks like luggage.
• Don’t visit dangerous locations, or walk in unfamiliar, isolated or dimly lit areas, especially at night.
• Don’t leave valuable items in public view; that includes your passport as much as your mobile phone.
• Don’t drive an obvious rental car, the more nondescript the better; keep maps and travel brochures out of sight in the glove compartment.
• Don’t park anywhere but a well-lit place, don’t leave valuables in sight (lock them in the trunk), and don’t pick-up hitchhikers.
• Don’t keep your vehicle and house or hotel keys on the same key ring.
• Don’t store cash, jewelry, medicine or other valuables in your luggage, and never leave your luggage unattended, even for a moment.
• Don’t Do Drugs – Don’t bring them with you, don’t accept them from friends or family or strangers, don’t even talk about them. Many foreign countries are extremely strict when it comes to drugs and you could find yourself in big trouble.
• Don’t Spend Too Much Time in Your Room – You may be jet lagged, you may be homesick, but sitting around won’t help any of it. Get out there and have fun!
• Don’t Talk Politics – Not every country is a free country, and not every society is tolerant of free speech. Have fun but keep politics out of your discussions while on vacation.
• Don’t Let Your Phone Roam – Nothing is worse than returning home to see a cell phone bill that is astronomical. Be sure to either contact your provider for an overseas plan or only use it via Wi-Fi.
