Share Your Itinerary: Inform a trusted friend

details, and expected return time.
Stay Connected: Keep your phone charged
and carry a portable charger. Regularly check in
with your contacts to let them know you're safe.
Research Your Destination: Familiarize
yourself with the area, including local customs,
emergency numbers, and safe routes.
Secure Your Belongings: Use locks for your
luggage and consider a money belt for your
valuables. Never leave your belongings
unattended or out in the open.
Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off,
trust your gut and remove yourself from the
situation. Your intuition is a powerful safety
tool that God blessed you with.
Stay in Well-Lit, Public Areas: Avoid walking
alone at night and stick to populated, well-lit
streets and areas. Never hike, swim, boat, etc.
alone. Always stay within the area of other
adults who can assist you in an emergency.
Blend In: Avoid drawing attention to yourself
by dressing like a local and not displaying
expensive items like jewelry or electronics.
This is just a small list of safety
tips. Please research additional
ways to stay safe before
embarking on any solo trip away
from the safety of your home.
