• Your instincts never lie: If you feel something is going wrong and you must get out from where you are, then do it and don’t waste more time.

• Approach locals: If you feel in danger while in the street, then approach local women or groups of men and women if that is going to keep you safe.

• Seek nearest embassy or consulate: If you need help don’t seek local authorities. They may be corrupt. So, you’d better find the nearest Embassy or consulate.

• Protect yourself: never forget to bring a doorstop with you. It’s your lifesaver in case somebody tried to break it. The latter will slow him down for some time while you can escape or just scream as loud as you can for help.

• Be conservative: Always be in the middle. Wear modest and loose clothes that cover your body. This way you will drive attention to the other way and you will give yourself the opportunity to enjoy other experiences.

• Be careful wherever you go: Always take your necessary precautions. There is no country in the world with zero risks or crime.
