Traveling can be a wonderful experience, but don't forget about travel safety while you're abroad. Follow these six tips to help you take a trip that you'll remember for all the right reasons.

1. Do your research: Before arriving, get to know your destination. Read travelers' reviews and check with locals for information to find out where the best spots are. Try to pick up some of the local language before you go.

2. Don't attract too much attention: Try not to look like a tourist. Be discreet when looking at maps and when taking out money to buy things, especially on the street.

3. Don't carry too much cash: Try to use credit cards as much as you can on your trip. It's good to carry a small amount of local currency around with you for everyday items, and you can use an ATM at the airport after arriving.

4. Keep your friends and family updated: After finalizing your itinerary, email a copy to a few trusted people who can follow your trip. Check in regularly with your family after arriving so they know you're where you're supposed to be.

5. Protect your stuff: When going out and about, make sure you leave your valuables in the hotel safe, especially your passport and credit cards if you don't need them. Don't wear expensive jewelry as someone might try to snatch it.

6. Be aware of your surroundings: Although traveling gives you opportunities to meet new people and learn about their cultures, always look out for trouble. If someone near you is acting strange, leave the area immediately.

Even if you follow this advice, some bad things might still happen. Before leaving on your trip, get travel insurance from Insur-U-Go, and you can relax no matter where you go.
