Be aware of your surroundings when traveling abroad and research the risks of human trafficking in the areas that you are planning to visit. Be careful when using internet dating sites and social media as potential traffickers could be searching these networks for vulnerable individuals. Refrain from accepting invitations from unknown people to places you were not planning on visiting, and research what documents and identification are required for domestic and international travel. It is also important to familiarize yourself with local laws, hotlines, resources, support centers, etc in case you or someone you know needs help. Keep all of your documents safe while traveling; carry them in a secure pocket orvest inside of a bag instead of keeping them in your pockets or wallet which could be easily grabbed if distracted. Avoid drugs or drug-facilitated crimes as traffickers use these methods to weaken the victim’s agency while taking control over their bodies. Be wary of requests for money as well since financial desperation is one technique traffickers use to lure victims into situations where they are unable to freely leave. Whenever possible stay at officially sanctioned places such as hotels instead of private homes rent rooms located on well known streets near transport stations; these strategies can protect against being kidnapped by surprise by unfamiliar parties whom do not have permission from authorities to take their victims elsewhere against their will 
Travelling alone is safer than travelling with unfamiliar groups however do inform some people that trust about where exactly youare travelling so some body can contact an authorities should something bad happen . always notify family/close friends regarding yourwhereabouts ! Lastly never forget common sense safety measures such  putting up personal security settings both online & IRL , carrying pepper spray ,wearing clothing layers , refrainingfrom accepting drinks , drugs etc … .from strangers and trust no one!

When traveling abroad, one of the best ways to avoid being a victim of human trafficking is to be aware of potential scams and risks. It’s important to research each place you intend on visiting before you leave and have an understanding of the laws and culture in those areas. Keep your personal information private, always use official transportation, and be aware that airport transportation services may lead to exploitative practices. Additionally, never accept offers from strangers for accommodations or employment as these are common tactics used by traffickers.
