Travel Safety: Safety tips for personal and corporate travellers [Sample chapter]

This is the first chapter of the upcoming book, Travel Safety: Safety tips for personal and corporate travellers. It covers basic safety advice that all travellers should be aware of.

* Taking care of yourself
* Documents and cash
* Street crime, cons, and opportunists
* Crossing borders
* Accommodation

============================================
The world is a safe place (so why are we writing this book?)
============================================

Every year millions of trips take place: people leave their homes, travel and return without incident. In general, the world is a safe place and moving over borders and into foreign countries is safer than it has ever been in the history of the world. However, if millions of travellers encounter no problems, a small percentage encounter the worst of humanity, or the worst nature can throw at us.

Who is responsible for your personal safety? This question was asked of a group of senior officers gathered in Sudan for a peace-keeping mission. Despite the retort of a certain Rwandan Major, the correct answer is not "my mom". The correct answer is that you are. You have to look after yourself.

It's our pleasure to share our stories, our experiences, and the best practices devised by the smartest minds in security. We've stripped out the jargon and kept things simple and practical while covering a wide range of possible situations.

Airline safety briefings often include the line, "in the unlikely event of an emergency…" This book is a manual for those unlikely emergencies, written by people who travel often. Every traveller has a different strategy as to how to look after themselves while they are on the road; we've brought together our experiences with stories and ideas from dozens of others.

Travel Safety: Safety Tips For Personal And Corporate Travellers

"In the unlikely event of an emergency..."
...What would you do?

This book is a manual for those unlikely emergencies, written by people who travel often.

A book created by experts.

A book that tells real stories.

A book that deals with some of the scary realities of travel — from drug plants to kidnapping.

In 2010 Craig Bidois, the Director of a security consulting company got in touch with a travel podcaster Craig Martin. Bidois was frustrated by the quality of travel safety information available to everyday travellers. Books were dull or out of date; magazine articles were so brief; blog posts sometimes giving dangerous advice. What could they do?

Travel Safety: Safety Tips For Personal And Corporate Travellers was born out of this frustration. Finally a book written by experts — a consultant and a full-time traveller — that goes beyond cliches.

But the important thing is that Travel Safety doesn’t leave you scared about leaving home. The authors’ love of travel really shines through, and their dry sense of humour shows its head as well. Travel Safety is a book that business people can read and put into practice, parents can buy for their children as they head off on their worldwide adventures, families can make use of as they go on vacation.

Now you can travel around the world without fearing the people around you. You can immerse yourself in foreign cultures, secure in the knowledge that you can look after yourself.

The world is a fantastic place. It's time to go and see it.
