What should girls pay attention to when traveling alone? How to ensure safety?
When many girls think about travel safety, the first question that pops up is: "What if you are cheated by a stranger?" "What if you are raped by a bad guy?" "What should I do if I am robbed by the bad guys?" ... security issues are limited to the keyword "bad guys", which is really a big misunderstanding. There are more good people than bad people in the world, and most security problems come not from the malice of others, but from their own carelessness. Improving safety awareness and learning travel safety knowledge can avoid most possible safety problems. Based on several years of blood and tears experience, this paper summarizes and shares ten security strategies. Please correct me if there is anything wrong. Black feed the dog: 1. Tell your family and friends about your travel plan before you travel, and try to know in detail where you are every day, where you live, your contact information, and the contact information of your daily accommodation along the way (whether it is a hotel, a friend's house or something else). And highlight the places where the signal may be bad, so that the family has a bottom. During the trip, send a circle of friends with an address tag every day (if you feel particularly safe, don't send the address tag Weibo, as for why, please find out for yourself). There is basically no difficulty in reporting the itinerary in China. If it is an outbound tour, just rent a mobile Wi-Fi in advance. If the network doesn't allow it, send a text message. As long as 2 yuan 1 is used abroad, it's not expensive. If you don't even have a short message signal, you really want to go to a very remote place. First ask yourself if you have the ability to go to these places. Suggest going with someone. If economic conditions permit, it is recommended to rent satellite phones. Ask a treasure for details. 2. Back up all important files. Important documents include: passport information page and visa page (exit), front and back of ID card (domestic), hotel reservation form, air ticket reservation form, insurance company policy and compensation details, front and back of bank card/credit card, local alarm telephone number, telephone number of local China embassy or consulate and other documents you think are important. There are two storage methods: 1) put the copy in the luggage and open it separately from the original; 2) Scan an electronic version and send it to your mailbox. 3. Look at what local women wear online. Girls in most countries and regions dress like us. Pay attention to the weather and increase or decrease it appropriately. The safest way to dress is to dress like a local woman, blend in with the crowd and wear an invisible protective film. Just brush the pictures of recent local social news and wear them correctly. I can't give a detailed list of cases. I only chose a few countries that impressed me: 1) In India, the most blackened country, local women show their waists but not their legs. It is considered obscene to show their legs. You must pay attention to this when dressing. Don't wander around the street in miniskirts. If you don't bring the right clothes, go to the stall and buy Baba pants. 2) When you go to any Muslim country, you should cover the place where you should cover it, and you don't have to play the ball for the sake of beauty. In some Muslim countries, girls' clothes are not rigid, so you don't have to cover the veil tightly. In many secular Muslim countries, such as Malaysia, you can wear skirts to expose your arms and legs, and you can browse the Internet more. If you are really not sure, it is better to be conservative. Respect for other people's culture is much more important than beauty. Another trick is to bring a basic suit and buy it locally. You can usually buy cheap and suitable ones. 3) Japan is rich in action movies, and girls are also famous for barefoot in winter, but I don't know whether to go to a small place or something. Even in very hot summer, I can't see suspenders and hip-length hot pants on the street (maybe I'm ignorant). Every time I come back in summer, I feel that the clothes worn by domestic girls are much bigger than those of Japanese girls. 4) Even at the beach, bikinis are not accepted all over the world, so you should know in advance. Whenever social news reports sexual harassment cases, there is always an acid comment that "you are sexually harassed because you wear too many clothes". This statement is actually unfounded and disgusting, but it's better to keep a low profile than to show off when you're out, nozuonodie, you know. 4. Find the most common forms of local crimes on the Internet. In terms of deception and criminal forms, I think liars are generally lazy. Every place has its own routines: some like to tie a rope for you in the square, some like to take you to feed the pigeons, some always pretend to be policemen, some like to bump into you, and some like to arrange bags. Search other travelers' bad experiences on the Internet, or read local life news, and 90% of scams and crimes are on it. 5. Know the local alarm method and the contact information of China Consulate in advance. Every time you go to a new country, you must know the local alarm methods in advance. My personal habit is to check online in advance. If there is an alarm call, I usually take the time to dial it after I get off the plane and pick up my luggage to see what the alarm process is like, and if there is any English assistance, I will set the alarm call as a mobile phone speed dial (it seems to be a waste of public resources ... it's time for self-criticism). I haven't used this until now, and I have a bottom. Many people complain that the Consulate of China can't help you when you have something overseas. If you are stolen, cheated or lose your money, I suggest you call the police yourself and find an insurance company, just in case you encounter something that threatens your life safety (which neither you nor your friends have encountered so far), you should be prepared. This information can be found on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a copy is kept. 6. Travel insurance still needs insurance awareness, including two aspects: 1) Buy insurance! Buy insurance! ! Buy insurance! ! ! 2) Buy insurance. If you don't study the insurance rules thoroughly, don't buy it! ! ! Now insurance companies have very mature travel insurance packages, and there are many poor travel insurance channels. How to choose? My personal experience is that when purchasing, I pay special attention to whether there are the following insurance clauses, in order of importance:-Global 24-hour emergency Chinese telephone number-Overseas medical compensation-Personal property protection (including important documents and baggage loss insurance)-Travel delay of thousands! Wan! Remember! Yes! Read the compensation rules carefully before departure, and print out the insurance details and carry them with you. In case something bad happens, calm down and follow the process. If you don't understand, call the insurance company to communicate clearly. 7. The most common event handling is memorized. The following solution is what I have used, only for jade absorption. Yes, I lost them, and my eyes were full of tears. . . T_T) Go over it in your head before you go. 1) What should I do if I lose my cash? -Prevention: It is recommended to divide the cash into two parts and store them separately. If you are traveling abroad, know in advance which ATMs can withdraw money from UnionPay and the overseas withdrawal limit of your credit card. -Accidents: ATM withdrawals, Western Union remittances, etc. -Trick: In case of emergency, you can use WeChat to find a nearby China person to transfer money for cash withdrawal. 2) What should I do if my bank card is lost? -Prevention: cash and cards are carried separately, and credit cards and debit cards are carried separately, so as to reduce the probability of accidents in which all the card money is lost, and understand the emergency card replacement process of bank cards in advance. -What happened: cut expenses, reissue cards urgently, and maybe you can go to the bank to withdraw money without a card in China. -Trick: In case of emergency, you can use WeChat to find a nearby China person to transfer money for cash withdrawal. 3) What should I do if I lose both my cash and my bank card? -Prevention: cash and cards are carried separately, and credit cards and debit cards are carried separately, so as to reduce the probability of accidents in which all the card money is lost, and understand the emergency card replacement process of bank cards in advance. -Accidents: emergency card replacement, borrowing by mortgage or personal credit, Western Union remittance, etc. -Trick: In case of emergency, you can let people around China transfer money to withdraw human flesh through WeChat. 4) What should I do if my luggage is lost? -Prevention: Take important luggage with you. -Event: If you buy insurance, remember to make a record at the police station. You will definitely need this when you come back to apply for compensation. If you really lose it, you can only buy it locally. (I once reported to the police with the mentality of waiting for insurance compensation, and then the luggage was really found by the police. 5) What should I do if I lose my ID card? -Prevention: Hey, why don't you grow up? -Event: Airports and railway stations can apply for temporary identification valid for one day. If you want to stay in a hotel, go to the local police station and ask them how to handle it (the specific handling methods vary from place to place). 6) What should I do if I lose my passport? -Prevention: Hey. . . -What happened: I went to the police station to make a record, issued a certificate, contacted the consulate in China and issued a travel permit. In some countries, there are more procedures. Ask the consulate. 7) What should I do if I get sick? -Prevention: Take some simple medicine (I usually take motion sickness medicine, fever patch, diarrhea treatment, band-aid and small alcohol cotton separately). -Event: Minor ailments can go directly to pharmacies, and many pharmacies have doctors. If you can go back to China because of a sudden serious illness, you should go back to China for treatment immediately, no matter how expensive it is. If you can't go back to China, call the insurance company to tell us about the situation and see if the disease is not covered, what hospital you need to go to and what documents you need to keep. Wait 8. Try to be active in public places. Unless absolutely necessary, try not to walk alone at night or go to remote places alone. The itinerary is a little looser. 9. It is a science to keep a curious and alert heart to deal with strangers. We should not only satisfy our desire to communicate with local people, but also keep a reasonable and appropriate distance. How to grasp the degree? My personal experience: 1) All contact is limited to public places. 2) Don't go with people, unless it is a public place where there are many people visiting tourist attractions, don't go to private places, and don't go to other people's homes if there is a lot of speculation. 4) Don't hitchhike unless you are invited by your family. Unless it is a female driver or a family car with children, 5) don't eat anything given by strangers once. 6) Don't let drinks and food leave your sight. If you have something urgent to go to the toilet, you won't eat anything on the table when you come back. 7) Be wary of people who are idle and have excellent English. 8) Keep the drunkenness of drinking within 5 minutes at all times, and stop drinking and drink juice when crossing the line. 9) There is another point that is politically incorrect: beware of inexplicable enthusiasm. . . 10. Finally, give the girls a little confidence. After reading so much, do you feel that there is a pit outside the house and you dare not go out to play? Don't worry, most countries in the world are safe. I have a railway station theory, that is, if you can survive in the Beishangguang Railway Station, then you are safe in most countries and regions in the world. Take me personally for example. At present, after running for so many years, the most "incident" I have experienced is that I accidentally lost something ... In a very small probability of criminal incidents, theft and money fraud account for more than 95%, which has nothing to do with personal safety. Do more work in advance, get to know the local culture in advance, do all kinds of preventive work in advance, reserve safety knowledge in advance, keep safety secrets, and make your trip safe and enjoyable. In addition, crimes not only exist in travel, but also the same accidents may happen in our daily life. When encountering problems, keep calm first, and you will win the initiative. I wish you all a pleasant journey and a safe home. Show all
