tips when travelling

Traveling is indeed one of the most enjoyable things we can do, especially when we have money of course!  :-) 

Here are some of the things that you can do to make your travel safe and hassle free:

 

1. When traveling, it’s but natural for you to carry
luggage. If you need to place luggage tags, just put
your email address and never indicate there your name,
phone number, and home address.

2. Air traveling is already part when going abroad or
to a far place. You can see in the news that there are
terrorists who sometimes highjack planes. One
effective shield that you can use against an attacker
(if there is trouble on the plane) is the seat straps.
You have to use all your strength in ramming the strap
on the attacker’s face. This move will cut off the
attacker’s vision and once this happens, you can kick
that individual in the groin or in any other sensitive
body part. Knock that person until unconscious.

3. Don’t forget to bring a handy flashlight and
batteries. You can use it if there is no light or you
can even use it against an attacker when needed.

4. Don’t forget to carry wallets. If you want, you can
take two wallets with you. One wallet can contain some
non-important items and a few cash while the other
wallet should contain your important IDs, insurance
cards, cash, and emergency contacts. Keep the wallets
in separate places. For instance, the insignificant
wallet can be placed in your pant’s back pocket and
the important wallet should be in your coat’s front
pocket.

5. When eating in foreign restaurants, you must
acquaint yourself with the place’s layout. Take note
of the front and exit doors.

6. Charge your mobile phone at the hotel. When you
leave, bring it with you and other gadgets that can be
easily carried. You can even use these gadgets in case
of emergencies.

7. Never travel alone. Through there are some
travelers who do this every time they travel, you
shouldn’t take the chance. Who knows, perhaps they are
just lucky but you’ll never know what’s going to
happen in the next few hours. Always be prepared.
Remember that devious individuals are just waiting to
see a helpless traveler, alone and so vulnerable.

8. You must be mentally alert at all times. Observe
the people around you, how they move or look at you.
Somehow, you will feel uneasy if something’s going to
happen.

9. Before you travel to a foreign place, it would be
best to make a hotel reservation. That way, you don’t
have to fumble or ask for directions in trying to
locate a certain hotel.

10. Don’t travel with so many luggage unless when
needed. Try to wear comfortable clothes and don’t wear
something that might attract the attention of bad
people. Be simple as you are. For women, avoid wearing
high-heeled shoes when traveling.

Have a happy trip! :-)

    Hi Jocelyn,

    This post is timely because I’m planning a couple of trips. I was surprised at your point about attacking a terrorist with the seat strap. It never occurred to me, and I think in reality I would co-operate rather than resist because I’m trapped in a plane with nowhere to run from these guys and I don’t want to anger them.

    I also travel alone almost always, out of necessity. That’s why I absolutely agree with your point 8 – to be mentally alert at all times. I think this is the key to staying out of trouble.

    Thanks for the tips – helps me get in the right frame of mind for taking off somewhere alone again!
