It is important to take the necessary precautions to stay safe while traveling. Make sure you research the area that you’re visiting and understand any safety risks. Have a copy of your passport, travel documents and credit cards in case of emergency in a safe place other than your bag. Be aware of your surroundings when in crowded places or public transportation, make sure that you are with trusted people at all times, and keep a charged cell phone with you at all times so that it’s easier to call for help if needed. Consider taking a look online before travelling about local crime and scams.

Firstly, it is best to thoroughly research your destination before travelling, so you are aware of any potential risks. This includes understanding the local laws and customs, crime and scam risks, as well as reading up on the current travel advice from your country’s foreign ministry or government. 
Additionally, you should take steps to keep yourself safe while away; use caution when visiting unfamiliar places and only trust legitimate authorities such as police officers or airport personnel. Avoid wearing flashy or expensive jewelry or clothing that can be targets for thieves in crowded public areas.
Be prepared with knowledge of the medical help available in case of emergencies- learn first aid basics if needed- bring along any special medication required such as an Epipen- and carry proof of any necessary vaccinations.
