Sound Travel Safety Advice: Week 3
Throw this away immediately!
We’ve spent the past few posts taking a safety minute concerning business and leisure travel. I’ve added a few tips of my own to the sound travel safety advice Erin Karlin of DOWL shared at our recent Advanced Communications Program.
Travel Tip 6: Throw away your room key folder.
As soon as you get to your room, memorize your room number and throw away the key folder. If you misplace your key, anyone who picks it up will have access to your room. I am constantly reminding my own family members of this tip. I promise: You can remember your room number for 24 hours.
Travel Tip 7: Be aware of what you are posting.
Don’t advertise your exact location in real time by posting the perfect picture to your social media platforms. Wait a day. And, if your entire family is with you, wait until you return from your trip. No one needs to know nobody’s home.
Travel Tip 8: Trust your instinct.
If you ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable, change locations immediately. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, and don’t draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Try to blend in as much as possible; people who look as if they are from out of town can be especially vulnerable to crime.
Travel Tip 9: Have a blast!
Whether you are traveling for business or leisure, it is a wonderful and rewarding experience. Enjoy the journey, and experience as much of this great big world as you can, whether you are traveling to Holland or Hackensack.
