You can request brochures, maps, tourist attraction places, destinations, etc. from hotels if you did not bring any.

Keep your valuables in your handbag, not in your luggage bag.

Always keep small change in your wallet and large amount of money in one of your handbag compartments. Strangers might be eyeing on you when you pull out a large amount of money from your wallet.

Try to use your credit card instead of cash most of the time. You will find it a lot easier and avoid the hassle to convert the local currency.

Try not to take taxis that seemed to be hanging around. Try to travel with hotel’s taxis, limousines or queue for taxis instead.

Do not carry your passport around everywhere you go. You may leave the passport in the hotel’s electronic safe.

Confirm your return flight few days before the end of your scheduled travelling.

You may want to pre-address labels for those people whom you plan to send a postcard. Then, you do not have to spend time addressing your destination, where there are so many more interesting things to do.
