10 SAFETY TRAVEL TIPS

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

1. KNOW THE RULES. WHEN TRAVELING ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS, BE AWARE OF THE RULES FOR TRANSPORTING ITEMS TO AND FROM YOUR TRIP.

2. BE INFORMED. ALWAYS CHECK TRAVEL WARNINGS AND NOTICES FOR THE CITY/STATE/COUNTRY YOU ARE VISITING.

3. LOCK UP. MAKE SURE YOUR HOTEL ROOM DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED AND LOCKED WHEN LEAVING YOUR ROOM. PUT ALL VALUABLES IN HOTEL SAFE.

4. GET TRAVEL INSURANCE. ALTHOUGH YOU MAY THINK YOU DO NOT NEED THIS, ANY THING CAN HAPPEN, ILLNESS, ACCIDENT, NATURAL DISASTERS, DELAYED OR CANCELLED PLANS, FAMILY EMERGENCIES, LOST LUGGAGE. BE PREPARED. TRAVEL INSURANCE IS VERY AFFORDABLE.

5. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. AIRLINE PASSENGERS NOW HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN EVER BEFORE. LEARN WHAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO.

6. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. TRUSTING YOUR OWN INSTINCTS IS PROBABLY THE BEST ADVICE YOU NEED. ONLY CHOOSE ACCOMODATIONS, RESTAURANTS, TOURS, ETC. THAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH. NEVER LET ANYONE TALK YOU INTO DOING SOMETHING YOU DON’T WANT TO DO.

7. BE PREPARED. WHEN ARRIVING IN A NEW PLACE, SEEK OUT LOCAL, STATE AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. IF TRAVELING ABROAD KNOW WHERE THE U.S. EMBASSY IS LOCATED. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS. IF YOU GET LOST AND VENTURE INTO UNKNOWN TERRITORY, ASK SOMEONE OF AUTHORITY RATHER THAN JUST ANYONE. ACT CONFIDENT, DON’T FLASH CASH AND CREDIT CARDS. ALWAYS LET FRIENDS/FAMILY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE WHEN TRAVELING.

8. DON’T OVERPACK. PACK LIGHT. DON’T OVERBURDEN YOURSELF WITH SO MUCH EXTRA WEIGHT THAT IT ENDANGERS YOUR SAFETY.

9. BUY A DOOR STOP. AS AN ADDED MEASURE OF SECURITY IT’S ALWAYS USEFUL TO HAVE A RUBBER DOOR STOP HANDY. PLACE IT UNDER YOUR DOOR WHEN YOU GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT FOR ADDED PIECE OF MIND.

10. KEEP YOUR VALUABLES ON YOUR PERSON. ALWAYS KEEP PASSPORT, DRIVERS LICENSE, CASH AND CREDIT CARDS ON YOU, RATHER THAN IN A BAG OR PIECE OF LUGGAGE THAT IS AT RISK TO THEFT.

5 BEST WAYS TO START A CONVERSATION

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT

1. START WITH AN INTRODUCTION, AND SIMPLY TELL THE NEW PERSON YOUR NAME. OFFER YOUR HAND TO SHAKE, UPON HIS RESPONDING TO YOU.

2. LOOK YOUR NEW FOUND FRIEND IN THE EYE, IT ENGENDERS TRUST (BUT DON’T STARE). ALSO, USE THE PERSON’S NAME A TIME OR TWO DURING THE CONVERSATION; IT WILL HELP YOU REMEMBER THE NAME, AND WILL DRAW THE PERSON’S ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. SMILE A LOT, AND LAUGH WHEN ANY QUIP IS MADE BY THE OTHER PERSON.

3. JUST BE YOURSELF AND ASK THE QUESTION THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO SAY, BUT GIVE YOURSELF SOME TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY BEFORE YOU SAY IT.

4. REMEMBER THAT SOMETIMES IF A CONVERSATION ISN’T GOING WELL, IT MIGHT NOT BE YOUR FAULT. SOMETIMES THE OTHER PERSON IS DISTRACTED/LOST IN THOUGHT, ISN’T WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE, OR IS HAVING A BAD DAY. IF THEY DON’T SPEAK OR LISTEN, THEN THEY ARE THE ONES NOT USING GOOD CONVERSATION SKILLS, NOT YOU. BUT IN ANY CASE, IT’S STILL A GOOD IDEA TO STRIVE TO DO YOUR PART AS A GOOD CONVERSATIONALIST.

5. KNOW WHEN THE CONVERSATION IS OVER. EVEN THE BEST CONVERSATIONS WILL EVENTUALLY RUN OUT OF STEAM OR BE ENDED BY AN INTERRUPTION. SMILE IF YOU’RE LEAVING, TELL THEM IT WAS NICE TALKING TO THEM, AND SAY GOODBYE. ENDING ON A POSITIVE NOTE WILL LEAVE A GOOD IMPRESSION.
