The first thing you should do upon arrival in your hotel is located your in-room safe and store your valuables. Don’t carry extra cash, credit cards, passports, airline tickets, or anything else you really don’t need. This rule applies no matter where you travel.

Personal safety is an important factor to consider while traveling. You should always be looking out for your personal safety, but you should be even more concerned when you’re traveling. Whether you’re out of town on a business trip, visiting friends and family, or just exploring the beauty of this great nation, when you’re away from home, you’re out of your element. You don’t know the way around town or the high crime areas to avoid, so you’re more vulnerable than at home. But there are plenty of things you can do to protect yourself on the road. One of the best ways of increasing your personal safety while traveling is to travel with others. If at all possible, avoid traveling by yourself. Not only will you have a more enjoyable trip, but you’re much less likely to be victimized.

Don’t go trekking off by yourself into unknown parts without a guide. Many cities have guided walking tours and bus tours of interesting neighborhoods and points of interest. Go to a library or bookstore before your trip, or get on the internet, and you’ll discover all kinds of things you can do with other people while you’re in a different city. But as much as possible for your own personal safety, try to travel with other people.

I have been in vietnam and is fair to say that is perfectly safe, of course, just have to take a look where you walk, but is the same in ny, you will not go to the bronx!

• Avoid nonessential night driving, alcohol, and riding with persons under the influence of alcohol.
• Sit in the back seat whenever possible, to minimize the risk of death if an accident should occur.
• Bring a car safety seat when traveling with young children.
• Use a safety helmet whenever riding on a bicycle or motorcycle.

Hello

Good question. Thanks for sharing this informative information.
Avoid walking alone in cities you are visiting. Stay away from barren areas, particularly at night. Use only registered taxi services and approved or recommended public transport.
Avoid obvious displays of wealth. Do not use your mobile phone in public and avoid carrying or wearing expensive clothing, jewelry, etc.
Minimize the time spent carrying valuable equipment, such as laptop computers.
Carry only the amount of cash you will need for one day. If you use credit cards, carry only one and keep the remainder of your cash and cards in a hotel safe.
Carrying credit or bank cards in high risk areas is not recommended.
