Here are the IIT Safety Gold Rules for international travelers: The most important rule of all is to use common sense, even at home you always want to remain alert of your surroundings to avoid any unpleasant situation.  Having too much cash on you will never be a good idea when traveling internationally, use the safety deposit box in the hotel to keep it safe.

Do not attract the problems, wearing expensive jewelry and a presumptuous attitude will only draw unwanted attention to you, this will be equal of wearing a neon sign saying “Easy Target” Last but not least, if you...
