Travel Overseas Safe Travel For Students And Women

Safe Travel for Students and Women

Unfortunate but true, women and young students traveling in Europe are targeted more often by criminals, and experience the most trouble with government officials as well as locals of the country. Students also experience higher health risks while traveling in Europe, simply through the activities that most students engage in. For these and other reasons, it is necessary to introduce a few travel safety tips specific to students and women.

First, if you are a student traveling for the first time, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. First, not every adult can be trusted, even if they appear to be friendly and helpful. Especially if you have grown up in a small town where everyone knows everyone else, this can be a difficult concept to grasp and remember. However, remembering that you cannot trust everyone is the first step in remaining safe in Europe.

Second, you should know at least some basic bits and pieces of the language common to the country you are visiting. If you do become lost or need some type of assistance, you will be less likely to get it if you cannot communicate your need to those around you. It is best that you at least know how to ask for directions, ask for the US Embassy, request police or governmental assistance with a crime, or yell for help in the case that a crime is in progress.

To avoid run ins with local government officials, familiarize yourself with the laws for the country and area that you will be visiting. Make sure that your partying stays under control and within legal limits. Avoid illegal drugs, and refrain from drinking. Even if drinking is legal for your age group in that country, it is best to avoid it. Drinking alcohol clouds your judgment and can lead to embarrassing or legally troubling situations. It also limits your perceptibility and makes you a more vulnerable target for criminals.

Women especially should avoid walking at night, especially in dark and deserted streets. If you find that you have stayed out too late, take a taxi home. You'll be much safer. When you are walking, taking the bus, or on the train at any time of day or night, be aware of your surroundings. Make sure that you have a way to escape any advance from a potential criminal or rapist, and be aware of everyone around you and what they are doing.

You should also make sure that your personal items and valuables are well hidden and against your frame so that they cannot be easily grabbed. Sewing pockets into your underwear or bra can be a great way to stash money in case of robbery or mugging. You should also try to avoid wearing any jewelry other than a simple wedding ring. If you don't appear to have anything, you will be a less likely target. If someone does try to rob you, hand over your items willingly then run for the most public and well lit area possible. This will protect you from untoward advances from the thief as well as put you in a position to find help.
