5 Tips: Safe on the road
As a tourist you are often easy prey for fraudsters and thieves. Blogger Dory behind the blog of the same name thedorie tells you hers 5 tips for safe travel!
Which bag is safe to travel with?
Instead of a handbag, choose a shoulder bag. Make sure that the strap is made of strong material so that it cannot be cut through easily. A belt bag is even better. You wear them close to your body and always have them in view. And: Belt bags are super in again – win win! If you prefer to use a backpack, choose one with sturdy material and a hidden zipper. This way you offer fewer opportunities for pickpockets.
Hide your valuables!
If you have everything in one place, it is very easy for everything to be stolen. That's why leave some valuables at the hotel: deposit them in a secure location, e.g., the hotel safe or in the double bottom of your suitcase. A passport holder with a card slot also protects your documents and keeps them together. While on the go, you should put part, for example, in a belt bag or backpack, and the other part in the inner pocket of your jacket or front trouser pocket. Extra tip: Prepare some money in advance that you can use for small purchases. This way, you don't have to constantly pull out your wallet and offer thieves less opportunity.
Be careful!
If you want to be safe while traveling, be attentive to what is happening around you. Also, it is better to place your bag on your lap or in front of your feet instead of hanging it on the back of the chair, and put away your valuables. A very essential tip: Always keep your bag or backpack closed!
Know the tricks!
Every city has its own scammers, so it is advisable to google the scams in each city beforehand. To safely withdraw money while traveling, use ATMs IN bank buildings if possible and take two cash cards with you on the trip in case one no longer works. It is also important that you always have your banks' international blocked numbers to hand, should something happen.
That sounds like a lot of rules, but you shouldn't be afraid to travel because of it. With my tips I just want to help you feel safe while traveling. Look forward to the next adventure and have a good trip!
