Then it's not a very safe place to keep valuables.Tip 6Do not share airplane tickets on social mediaAirplane tickets have a bar code. Hackers can obtain all your personal information through the bar code in the picture. They could even cancel your flight.Tip 7Cross out your social security number on passport copiesWhen a hotel makes a copy of your passport, put a big cross on it and score out the social security number. People with malicious intent could sign up for all kinds of subscriptions in your name with the copy and social security number.Tip 8Register with the Ministry of Foreign AffairsEnter your details just once in the free crisis registration system of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Take a picture of the license plate and the driver and send it - with reference to your location - to a colleague. Make sure the driver sees you do this.Tip 10Leave expensive jewelry at homeWear cheap sunglasses, a plastic watch and preferably use a cheap Nokia phone. Are you travelling alone? Consider wearing a (cheap) wedding ring.Tip 11Consider flying instead of drivingDo you have to cross long distances? Often, flying is safer than driving. In many countries there are domestic flights. Check with your safety advisor which airlines are reliable. Tip 12Wear culturally appropriate clothingBe conservative. Even when you are warm and uncomfortable. The right clothing ensures respect. Moreover, you will not stand out as much. In many countries, this means: cover your shoulders, legs and sometimes also your arms. And don’t wear tight clothing.Tip 13Always lock your hotel room doorOnly accept a room that you can lock from the inside. Use a door stop or place a heavy piece of furniture behind your door. Also lock your room when you leave it, even if only for a brief moment.Tip 14Carry the number of a safety advisorDo you not have a regular safety advisor, or are you travelling individually? Make sure you carry the number of an external expert. In the event of a crisis, you will want to call somebody who acts quickly and professionally. Somebody with expertise, who is not emotionally involved.
