• While staying at hotels, always keep your door locked whenever you are in your room. For added safety, keep the safety chain on to prevent any forced entry.
• Before opening the door to anyone, use the peephole. If the person is not in a hotel uniform or looks suspicious, do not open the door. Be wary of revealing your identity on the telephone, especially if you are traveling alone.
• You are a tourist but you don’t need to let the whole world know that. Don’t look like a tourist. Looking at maps in your car or on the street is a dead give-away. A camera hanging around your neck all the time is also not a sound idea.
• Don’t flash money around. Just keep enough to meet your immediate needs. When traveling, your best protection is to be knowledgeable and alert. To travel with confidence and a positive attitude.
• Carry a pepper spray with you, always and keep it handy. Don’t tuck it too low in your bag.
• Hold your bag as tightly as you can when you are taking public transport. You can use it to hit your predator.
• When you are walking on a road, keep your mobile phone handy but avoid using it. Being on the phone makes you less alert.
• When you are travelling in an auto alone, make sure you share the auto number with someone in your family even if it’s during the day.
• Similarly, if you have booked a cab, always share your coordinates with someone.
• When in office, avoid going to isolated areas with no CCTV cameras.
• If you have parked your car, always look underneath, especially at night or at a less-crowded area.
• Whenever you are posting anything on social media, make sure you don’t do it in real-time. Because if you do, you’re telling people on your social media about your whereabouts. Delay those posts by say, 20-30 minutes.
• Always ensure you aren’t posting anything on your social media with your address or phone number on it.
• Whenever you are giving out order for delivery at a grocery store, make sure you whisper your address or write it down somewhere and give it to the shopkeeper. Never announce it.
• Whenever you are getting your phone recharged, if it’s at a store, don’t loudly speak up your phone number.
• Always pour your own drinks at parties and don’t ever take drinks from complete strangers or even friends. If you’ve left your drink unattended for even a few minutes, leave it and get a fresh drink. It may have been spiked when you weren’t looking.
• If you feel someone is stalking you, try to find a crowded place and call someone for help.
