Traveling gives
us a sense of freedom. We discover a new world and earn new experiences.
However, not all traveling end up as a blissful vacation. Recently, the terror
attack in Paris gave the city a new impression. It used to be a safe
and carefree city for vacationers, yet, a night of fun and art have been
turned into tragedy. Though terrorism can strike anytime at the most unexpected
place, it should not hinder you from exploring great places.
Theft. Tourists
are the most vulnerable target for thieves. Before you hang that expensive
camera around your neck like a necklace, make sure that the area is highly
safe. European cities usually have the lowest stealing incidents, but you have
to be cautious all the time. When visiting developing countries in some parts
of Asia, South America, and Africa, it’s best to be street smart all the time.
Kidnapping.
Sadly, tourists became victims of different terrorist groups and the retrieval
operation didn’t always went well. Dos Palmas is a mystical resort in Palawan,
Philippines. It’s a popular tourist destination until present. But let’s not
forget the tragic incident on that resort where an American missionary couple
was kidnapped and taken in the mountains of Mindanao. The wife survived, but
the husband didn’t.
Drug prevalence.The
food, beaches, and tourist attractions in Mexico are to die for. But, it’s
also known globally for being a drug infested country where society is ruled by
drug tycoons. Mexico’s reputation is not typically a magnet to tourists. But
just make sure to practice safety precautions whenever you are in public
places.
Extreme Weather
Conditions. If you came from a tropical country, you might be overwhelmed with
the cold temperature of London, Canada, or Iceland. Same applies if you’re used
to living in a place with constant below 10◦C of temperature. Make sure that
the destination you’ve chosen to visit for your next vacation has a climate
that is closely similar to your country to make the transition easier.
Threat of
Terrorism. Unfortunately, terror groups continuously threatens every nation in
the world. At present it appears that their target are focused on strong
counties like America, Belgium, Paris, and Russia. Check the track of terrorism
in the place you’re planning to visit.
Cost of Living.
Though traveling can really cost a lot of money, it’s better to learn to
control your savings. The cost of living in a certain place says a lot on how
you’re about to spend your money. If the expenditure in a certain country is
huge, expect that their tourism can be quite pricier too. The solution to this
is living like the locals do. Skip on staying on extravagant hotels or dining
in lavish restaurants.
Traffic
Situation. What’s worse than travelling abroad is experiencing the same kind of
traffic you have back home. Sometimes if the place is overly populated, expect
busy streets and heavy traffic. Although there are countries with really good
traffic schemes and wide roads.
