*Not* Taken: Safety Tips for Travelers
  • Make sure someone knows your itinerary & keep him/her posted on social media.
  • Do not keep your credit cards and cash in the same place. Keep some in your luggage, some in your wallet, and some in a hotel safe (if available).
  • Do not take shortcuts! Stick to the well-lit and populated streets you know. Download a travel guide, like the app mTrip (it works offline!), to keep you on the straight and narrow.
  • Only use official taxis, and do not share one with a stranger!
  • Avoid PDAs (Public Displays of Affluence). Don’t flaunt jewelry, expensive gear (like cameras), or cash.
  • Stay alert in crowded areas, and hold on to your zipped bags at all times!
  • Give it up! If you are mugged, just give up your possessions. It’s better than risking your life.
  • If you’re adventuring, make sure your guide has a license, legitimate qualifications, and a good safety record.
  • Do not pet stray animals or feed the monkeys. They may be cute, but they also may have rabies and large teeth!
