True, but security can never be absolute. It is definitely a good idea if you’ll be in a group to have someone keep an eye out for you. When partying, the most sober person is usually the best choice 🙂

Over time though anticipating a good amount of money for an outing is a skill you tend to hone I suppose and varies depending on where specifically you’re going out.

Great safety travel advice! I’ve never experienced theft while abroad, but it’s pretty sad that your belongings aren’t 100% safe even in a hotel safe. I am very protective of my stuff, especially while out at bars or clubs. It’s also important to perhaps designate someone in your travel group to oversee purses, wallets etc, because partying can definitely make people more forgetful and careless with their belongings. Sometimes the solution you mentioned above of only bringing what you need doesn’t work, because travelers can’t always predict how much money they will need over the course of the night (i.e. taxi money, emergency money, change of plans).

In reply to Barbara Weibel. Thank you Barbara; initially the series was going to be one long piece but now glad I broke it up into more digestible portions :)

Anil, what an amazing article. There’s so much jam packed information in it about staying safe on the road that it will take me a long time to read it all, but I think I need to wade through every link!
