Protect Yourself

It is superrrr easy for tourists to get identified because oftentimes, they carry on things that make them distinct. Things like cameras, fanny packs and maps make it easy to spot tourists. Always remember to be security conscious especially when you get started on your trip from your departure country. Keep ID and travel documents in a safe and distinct place so you can always reach for it when it’s needed.
