Be wary of overly friendly strangers offering unsolicited help or services, as these can sometimes lead to scams. Avoid unlicensed taxis and always confirm prices in advance. Staying vigilant in crowded areas and securing personal belongings helps ensure a safe visit.
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.
