Common scams include fake charity collectors, overpriced taxi rides without meters, and street vendors selling counterfeit goods. It's advisable to stay vigilant, keep personal belongings secure, and use official transportation services to avoid these issues.
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.
