I found some very good tips about traveling and thought that CLF members might like to read them.

You should always use caution anywhere, even here in the USA and trust your instincts yet at the same time, you should not allow fear to dictate your life as it will truly rob you blind.

If you are a woman traveling without a man, you need to exercise 10 times the amount of caution. Sorry, that is just reality. If you are a man traveling with a woman, never let her out of your sight. With that said, people don't grab random strangers, they look for easy targets. Don't be a target.

Never look lost, even if you are. Look like you belong there and know where you are going, especially if you find yourself in an area with little or no foot traffic. Walk like you have a purpose, not like you are lost and scared. Get back to a crowded area as quickly as possible without looking like you are getting there as quickly as possible (if that makes sense).

Always be aware of your surroundings and aware of the people in it.

Always know what or who is behind you. Do random things occasionally like walk across the street instead of staying on the same side.

If someone is staring at you, don't avoid eye contact but don't challenge them either. Be calm, make friendly eye contact and move on.
