You may have to book a ticket urgently back home or be hospitalized for a medically critical condition. You may not be able or allowed to contact your family or friends for help.
Travel insurance is a must-have, especially if you are planning to take part in dangerous activities like skiing and scuba diving. Never ever underestimate the danger of such sport activities.
Flaunting Your Wealth

Going on a trip is not engaging in Project Runaway. In other words, keep your real silver jewelry, sears diamond rings, fancy dress and gowns in your hotel room.
If you try to show off and exhibit your wealth in a foreign country, you can be an easy target for robbers, thieves, and pickpockets. Wearing fancy clothes and flashy jewelry is just going to grab more attention to you, especially that of dangerous folks around.
That is why travel experts recommend adapting the local clothing code, allowing you to intermingle with the locals and walk around like one. You may still look like a tourist, but at least not as a wealthy target.
If you aren’t into the local dressing code, adjust your own clothing to fit the places and try to pick things that are less attractive.
Skip Vaccinations Before Your Journey

Your destination may be a hub of the most infectious diseases that your immune system can’t resist, unless and until you get the necessary vaccinations. Bear in mind that skipping them is not an option.
There are specialized websites, providing you with the vaccinations you should have given your destination, like the Center For Disease Control. The consultation of the local physician is also an available option.
The vaccinations may seem slightly expensive based on the low risks of being affected by a disease. This is the case of short-term trips in particular.
Besides, if you are considering buying travel insurance, which you should, insurers demand their clients to go through all the possible precautionary procedures inclusive of having vaccinations. Don’t ever gamble with your life.
