Don't Get Distracted By Anyone Many people behave innocent or weird just to distract you. These types of crimes are common in tourist places.

Another option when planning for abroad is to carry traveller's checks as it's safer than cash and can be refund if stolen. When you reach hotel rooms don't leave money open instead keep it in a closet or in hotel locker to keep it safe. Divide Your Money Divide your money and keep it safely in different places. It may sound weird but this is the best option to keep your money safe. You can keep small sum of money in your purse, interior pockets of your dress, in socks, money belts, roll money in pen caps, inside your shoes. These places will help you in case of emergency if you're robbed of your handbags or purse. Scan Your Documents When you're planning for abroad trip better scan all your documents Such as the passport, visas, license, credit cards and other important documents. In case you lost the original copy you can show the scanned documents for any of the verifications. Don't Flaunt Money In Public You're in a crowded place shopping something; take your cash out in small amount. Never show off the money in public. Instead, keep as much as you want in your pocket or inside purse and take out only that which is to be given and not the whole money out. As there would be many people watching over you and they come to know where the cash is easily making them rob the money. Dress Modestly Dress up modestly and not to bring in attention. Wear least amount of jewellery and leave all the valuables at home. Bringing in attention will make the thief's think that you're rich and leave you in trouble. Always keep your cameras close to you. Never Walk Alone It's always better to walk in a group of your friends or relatives than going alone anywhere. As you're new to the place and know nothing about the surroundings. Lonely persons are an easy prey to the thief's than people in a group. Hence stay in a group or inform your friends about where you're going and let them know that you would be back by a particular time. This would help your friends to locate easily if you're lost.
