Safety begins when you pack. Do not dress as to mark yourself as an affluent tourist in order to help avoid becoming a target. For instance, expensive-looking jewelry can draw the wrong attention.
How about trying to travel light? You will be more likely to have a free hand and you can also move more quickly. You will be less likely and less tired to set your luggage down and leaving it unattended.
Carry the minimum number of valuables, and plan places to conceal them. If you want your passport, cash, and credit cards to be secure, you should lock them in a hotel safe. Rather than all in one wallet or pouch, you may also wish to put them in various places when you have to carry them on your person. Try not to place them on fanny packs, handbags, and outside pockets because they are all easy target for thieves.
A sturdy shoulder bag with the strap worn across your chest and inside pockets are considered somewhat safer. In a pouch or money belt under your clothing is one of the safest places where you can carry your valuables.
When passing through customs, you can avoid problems by keeping medicines in their original labeled containers. Bring copies of your prescriptions and the generic names for the drugs. In case a medication is unusual or contains narcotics, they should carry a letter from your doctor attesting to your need to take the drug. Consult the embassy or consulate of that country before you travel if you have any doubt about the legality of carrying a certain drug into a country.
Pack an extra set of passport photos along with a photocopy of your passport's information page to make replacement of your passport easier in the event it is lost or stolen.
Your name, address, and telephone numbers should be placed inside and outside of each piece of luggage. Use covered luggage tags to avoid casual observation of your identity or nationality. If possible, you need to lock your luggage.
Getting a telephone calling card is another thing you need to consider. It is a convenient way of keeping in touch. Don't forget to verify if you can use from your overseas locations if you have one. In many international newspapers, access numbers to the U.S. are published. Before you go, find out your access number. Having an unlocked, tri-band, or quad-band GSM phone would mean that you will be able to buy a SIM card and use it locally. Unlike using your home service and international rates or roaming fees, this will be much cheaper.
By checking with the TSA website, you will be able to see what the latest rules and regulations are for carry-on baggage.
