Be careful with money and documents
You should keep your passport, cash, and valuables in different bags and suitcases. Some clothes have hidden pockets, anti-theft backpacks, etc., which can also be a great help when traveling.
Carry enough money with you to cover your daily expenses, and keep the rest in a safe place. You should also keep your money in a cloth bag or small box... to disguise it among other small items, and bad guys will have to spend time searching if they cut your pocket.
Always keep money in many places, documents in important places.
In addition, visitors should not carry too many types of cards such as ATM or credit cards. Because in the worst case, you can lose all your bank cards. If that happens, contact the bank as soon as possible to cancel the cards.
Keep your valuables in a safe place, within reach. Thieves can drive or run away and snatch your belongings while you are walking. So look around you as you walk to see if anyone is approaching you. Don't wear a backpack, and keep your wallet in your back pocket.
Standard behavior
One of the quickest ways to become a potential target for bad guys is to stand out from the crowd. Shiny jewelry, expensive-looking watches or phones, designer clothes, and branded goods are all things that attract attention.
Even if you dress modestly, you can still be noticed by bad guys. Holding a camera to take pictures of everything on the street, being too engrossed in looking at interesting things around is what tourists often do and lose their guard. Advice for you is to avoid showing too much emotion in public or appearing confused and bewildered.
Act normal, don't attract attention.
Be wary of anyone who suddenly starts talking to you, offers to help you, or stands too close or touches you. Thieves may pose as beggars, bump into you, or offer to clean up a stain that suddenly appears on your shoulder or under your shoe, only to steal your belongings when you are not looking.
On the other hand, try not to drink alcohol when traveling. Drinking alcohol while traveling is an expensive pastime that can lead to a lot of trouble. During the fun, it is difficult to ensure that you are always sober in a strange place and pay attention to your belongings.
Store emergency phone numbers
When an adverse event or accident occurs, tourists are often not alert enough to call rescue organizations. When confused, you will not be able to remember the phone numbers of the authorities, ambulance or the address of the nearest embassy. Instead, write down all the phone numbers and addresses of these places and save them on your smartphone.
Save important information in a secure file.
Alternatively, visitors can handwrite the above useful information in a notebook or small cards and laminate them for long-term preservation. In addition, prepare a digital file containing information about passports, CCCDs or other important documents and save it on Drive or smartphone. When the original documents are lost, you can use this file to extract the necessary information.
update information with relatives
Before leaving for a destination, make sure that at least one family member or friend knows where you are going. Travelers can compose an email and send it to a common group of family or friends, then update them once a day. Let your relatives know about your location, travel plans, travel time and return. In case of an accident or when they do not hear from you for a period of time, your relatives will promptly report to the embassy or rescue agencies to help you in time.
