These also some tips that are useful for travel-:
1)Keep your travel plans, including accommodation details, to yourself.
2)Try not to travel at night.
3)Avoid 'seedier' areas of the cities you visit, especially at night.
4)Don't hitch hike.
5)As a general rule, city streets that include children and women suggest the area is safe for families.
6)Ask your hotel manager for advice on 'safe' versus 'unsafe' local areas.
7)Keep a photocopy of your passport and all other important documents in a safe place.
8)Use ATMs during the day, when there are people around.
9)Carry with you at all times the contact details of the Australian embassy. If your city doesn't have an Australian embassy, find out which other country's embassy is available to help you, such as the British embassy.
10)Try to rely more on credit cards and travellers cheques than cash.
