How to Safely While Vacationing. Tourists are particularly vulnerable victims of the practice of brokering, theft, pickpocketing, fraud and violence. This is what to watch out for all travelers. In order not to become victims of crime and stay safe on the road, consider the following tips:

Pack luggage safely
a safe travel begins from the way you pack the luggage. Make sure the suitcase or backpack that you carry has a safety lock and is made of strong materials. Avoid carrying a purse or backpack strikingly colored as it will attract the attention of criminals. Also avoid filling your bag or briefcase until it is completely full, because the luggage is “fat” will always invite attention first.

Leave the accessories are not necessary
Remember, you are not set out to attend the party. So no need to carry excessive jewelry. Bring the necessary electronic equipment like mobile phones, pocket cameras and music players. No need to carry a laptop or other sophisticated equipment that is not really needed. Leave unneeded identity cards, as well as with credit cards and ATM, do not have to carry everything. Simply pocket that will actually be used alone. Bringing knick-knacks in a minimal amount will allow you to watch. This means reducing the risk of loss.

Do not put all the money and valuables in a purse.
If you lose your wallet, it means you lose all the money and valuables. Put some money in the bag or hidden in your backpack. If necessary, save the money in stitching clothes as a precaution to deal with an unwanted situation.

Looks confident
Although you really blind on a location, looks like people who already know. At a loss for location purposes, never once stopped in the middle of the road while showing the expression of panic. Keep walking, follow the flow of people crowded in order not to attract the attention of brokers, fraudsters and pickpockets.

Dress like locals
Another trick to avoid the attention of criminals is to look like locals. Carrying a camera everywhere and dressed like tourists tantamount to proclaiming yourself as a new person. Remove the camera while really want to take pictures only. Although race and color of our skin is different from local residents, act as if we have been living in that place. If you look already experienced, fraudsters and pickpockets will think twice before launching the action.

Beware of pickpockets
In addition to trying to look already experienced, of course you should be extra careful so as not to bring valuables easily become a target of pickpocketing actors. Passport, money, credit cards and other valuables should be stored in a purse or small bag attached to the body. You must be increased vigilance when in crowds or when overcrowding in public transport.

Stay away from demonstrations and riots
You do not come to a place to cover the demonstrations or riots abroad. Immediately move away when he saw a group of people were doing a demonstration. Although it initially looks peaceful, demonstration activities often end up with chaos and even violence. Before leaving, also follow political developments and security situation of the area you want to go. Do not hesitate to cancel the trip if you are unsure of its safety.

Friendly but not pretentious familiar
A smile is a universal language that shows hospitality and friendship. If our body language fun, local residents would be happy to assist you. But over-friendly actions could provoke the attention of people who intend ugly. Do not also too familiar with the new people, let alone personal identity to a stranger. People are being too friendly often have ulterior motives. Therefore be careful.

Use the “common sense”
The most important thing to keep safe on the trip is to use “common sense” you. If you feel uncomfortable sending messages, increase your alertness. Do not be too daring to challenge the danger because there is no benefit to ordinary tourists like you. For example, if a place seems very quiet, do not be in this place. Also, it’s better to stay in the room if you are not sure of the safety of a place at night.
