Health insurance
If your health insurance doesn't cover you, you should consider purchasing a short-term health and emergency assistance policy designed for travelers.
Hotels
Upon entering your room, you must do a thorough security check. For safety, the door should have a peephole, as well as a safety chain or latch that operates from the inside. Make sure to use the locks. Don't open your hotel room door without verifying who is outside. Always carry your hotel address with you.
Thieves
In oder to protect yourself, be observant at all times. Most thieves work in teams of three or more one to distract you, one to the deed, and one to keep an eye out. The most common areas for robberies are markets, train and bus stations, on subway trains, or any other crowded place, so extra caution should be taken in these places.
Remember
The first rule of travel is common sense.
trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel safe, it probably isn't.
