Rules

to abide by

It doesn’t matter where you go.

Nor does it matter whether you’re at home or abroad, in the U.S. or in Mexico.

Being safe means exercising common sense.

Here are ten essential rules to remember

1.) Stay on the well-trodden paths and byways.

2.) Stay where there are other people around.

3.) Leave your big flashy jewelry at home – preferably in a safe.

4.) Keep your money holder, whether it be a purse or a billfold, secured at all times.

5.) Keep your eyes open and be very aware of your surroundings.

6.) Carry only small amounts of cash.

7.) Always keep your passport on your person, securely.

8.) Be polite. You’re a guest.

9.) Don’t be a stereotypical “foriegner”. Don’t show off, be noisy and obnoxious.

10.) Respect the culture.

Remember, these rules are important to follow no matter where you travel.  Be wise – follow the easy rules.

rules - watch where you walk
