33 Travel Safety Tips
33 Travel Safety Tips/Author: Matthew Keegan
Traveling to unfamiliar destinations can bring to you the sort of
troubles you do not want to experience while on the road namely:
robbery, rape, or murder. Tourists often fall prey to perpetrators
because they do not prepare properly before embarking on a trip. Let's
examine some things you should do to prevent your travels from
becoming a tragedy:
1. Never list your home address on the luggage tag. If on business,
put the company's address on the tag; if visiting friends you can list
their address. Use covered luggage tags as well.
2. Stay with your luggage until the luggage is checked. If you must
put your bag down, keep one foot on the handle.
3. Carry important papers with you; NEVER check anything that you
simply cannot afford to lose. Photocopy your passport, driver's
license and credit cards.
4. Bring a small flashlight. You never know when you'll suddenly be
"in the dark" and find yourself in unfamiliar surroundings. At night,
keep your flashlight by your bed.

A couple more suggestions:-
1. Lock your baggage! This is not so much to stop someone stealing something
out of your bag, but to stop what someone could place in your bag and have
you carry it through customs for them. Remember Shapelle Corby.
If you're going to Indonesia or some other place in Asia where drugs bring
the death penalty you may even want have your bag professionally wrapped in
plastic at the airport before you hand it over to the baggage handlers.
2. Carrying photocopies of your details is OK but a better idea is to scan
all your important documents and email them to yourself. Make up a folder in
your email account and call it "docs" and store them all there.

That sheila that took drugs into Bali? She wouldn't have wanted to wrap
her bag, because then she wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Dopey Bimbo.
