It's advisable to watch personal belongings closely and avoid engaging with aggressive sellers or unsolicited offers. Staying in well-lit areas at night and using official taxis or transport services can also enhance 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.
