Pick Pocketing
Beware of pickpockets, this is an issue in big tourist cities. Streets can be very busy in tourist areas, also be aware in train, bus and subway stations.
Belongings
Keep your belongings safe at all times. When entering the country Americans won’t take kindly to jokes about safety or what you are carrying in your luggage.
Carrying Cash
Take out only what money you think you will need for the day, having a wallet full of cash can attract unwanted attention. Its an idea to keep an extra note in a small pocket just in case anything happens and your wallet is lost or you see something you want to buy.
Research
The internet is an amazing tool to search for advice and tips, spend some time doing research before you go, reading blogs and testimonies from travellers who have experienced the area. Time when you are travelling is priceless don’t waste it turning up to places that are closed for the inter season or not worth checking out at all.
