Safety Rules for Travel
August 14, 2009
Traveling alone can be a scary and dangerous way to travel. Solo travelers often make better marks for criminals. The cheap flights, cheap hotels and other great deals that are available these days have made traveling – even alone – something that more people are considering. Safety during those travels can be increased by following a few rules.
Safety Rules for Travel
1. Leave your valuable at home. Criminals are less likely to target you if you are not flashing around expensive jewelry or electronics. Any items that are not essential for your travel should be left at home.
2. Stay in the interior rooms near the front desk. Even the cheap hotels can offer a little more safety when the attendants are close by.
3. Avoid wandering around at night. There are just too many shadows and dark places for criminals to hide.
4. Skip the alcohol. Traveling alone is not the time to have a wild party time. Alcohol impairs judgment and makes you an easier target. Read more

This enabled the first accurate measurement of the true height of the mountain by his successor Andrew Waugh who named the highest peak in the world in honour of Everest’s work. Read more
