Travel Safe

A useful article from Times City, excepts.
  • Never list your home address on your luggage tag. If on company travel, use the company address.If visiting friends use their address.
  • Stay with your luggage untill it is checked.
  • Carry important papers with you.Never check that you simply cannot afford to lose.Photocopy all the important papers.
  • Make sure that your prescription medicines are filled properly and labelled. Here I would like to add that it would be wise to pack in the common medicines like paracetamols,other medicines which you normally take.It may not be easily available across the counter in other countries. 
  • Never wear anything that projects affluence.
  • women especially should not accept drinks from strangers. Keep an eye on your drink all the time. 
  • Vary your schedule: try not to come and go at the same time everyday.
  • Only stay in hotels that uses cards to open doors. 
  • Stay in a room near a stairwell. Here would like to add that if this is not possible at least do a recce and mentally note the emergency escape routes.
BETTER TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS THAN BE STRANDED IN A PLACE FAR FROM HOME!!
