Common scams include individuals posing as charity collectors or offering unsolicited help with parking meters. It's advisable to stay aware of surroundings, avoid poorly lit areas at night, and use official transportation services to ensure safety.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
