6.Don’t appear wealthy.
Especially important in 3rd world countries. Wear cheap-looking watch and jewelry and leave
diamonds at home. Makes you less of a target for pick pocketers and luggage theft. If you must take a camera, guard
lens; popular with pick pockets as well.
Remove luggage tags from other trips. It’s a tip-off for thieves looking for
“rich frequent traveler”.
7.Cash.
Hide cash in different parts of your body. If traveling internationally, get new bills, as some countries won’t take “dirty” money. In Africa, for instance take new $100 bills. The exchange rate on anything lower is not good. Check with someone else who’s been where you’re going. i.e., in Russia, they aren’t supposed to take US dollars, but they sure do.
8.If you get a rental car, write down all
information about it. Just in case you forget what you’re driving.
9.Stay alert. Take a water bottle with you for dehydration and drink 2 glasses of water before you board. While on
plane, splash water on your face; when you get to
hotel, take a warm bath. Dry membranes are more vulnerable to infection.
Go rested.
