In recent days, , The tragedy of the sinking of a Thai cruise ship has shocked and saddened many people who like to travel , So for travelers, how to avoid losses to the greatest extent before and after the danger comes ？ Let's give some suggestions today , Hope to escort your trip .

In recent years, the number of outbound tourists in China has increased year by year , Various accidents happen frequently , I personally feel that no matter how beautiful the distance is , Life safety is always the most important , Never ignore or be careless . So today, I would like to take this topic to share with you some of my own travel risk avoidance experience , I hope it will be helpful to you who are out and about to leave .

Here are ten possible dangers you may encounter while traveling , Then discuss one by one . But all the suggestions are just suggestions , There is no guarantee of your absolute peace , So we should act according to our own situation and environment , The following recommendations are available for reference .

The traffic accident

No matter what kind of transportation you take , Whether you are a driver or a passenger , Remember to fasten your seat belt , I believe that everyone knows this. I don't need to say more . Most car accidents are related to speeding , Do not drive after drinking and fatigue , Don't chat with others , Don't make or receive calls or play with your mobile phone while driving , Focusing on driving is responsible for your own life and the safety of others . And for passengers , We try to stay awake , If you have a car accident , We will have enough time to react and escape . Travelers must check the local weather before departure , Knowledge of road conditions and other information , Try to avoid dangerous time and place .
If you fly, try to choose a large plane , Large airlines , The overhaul of large aircraft is more strict . Try to avoid frequent transfer , Because the aircraft is most prone to danger during landing and taking off .
If you take a cruise, watch the weather before you travel , And carry and wear life jackets , Never be careless .

Theft and robbery

Personally, I think most of the stolen and robbed people are due to their own carelessness , That's why it gives the suspect an opportunity . Take less cash and valuables when you go out , If it must be carried, it is better to put it in the pocket inside the clothes or other hidden parts . It's best to carry a backpack or a messenger bag , Instead of carrying bags and other bags that are easy to be robbed . Try not to expose your valuables and money to strangers , If you need to take photos, you must first observe the surrounding conditions , To avoid being targeted by criminals . Get into the habit of checking valuables all the time , Don't react long after being stolen . In case of armed robbery , Never covet money , Ensuring life safety is always the first thing , Nothing is more important than your life . In addition, reduce the number of night trips alone , Especially women . Try to make friends with someone you can trust locally , So even if there is danger , There will also be people who will help at the first time .

Natural disasters

Know the local climate and weather before traveling , Take necessary clothing and other tools with you , If you encounter serious natural disasters, you must contact the local rescue organization in time , Don't panic . There are many kinds of natural disasters , You can learn more about how to escape in your spare time . Would rather wait to postpone the trip , Don't insist on taking risks .

War and turmoil

All I can tell you about this is that you'd better not go to war and unstable areas . If there is war and turmoil after your arrival , That can only get away from the conflict zone as soon as possible , Keep an eye on the news and the latest trends, and contact the Embassy in time to wait for rescue shelter .

Disease and plague

If you travel to a plague prone country , Go to the entry exit quarantine bureau for a physical examination before departure , Consult relevant measures , Follow the command , Vaccination . After arriving at the epidemic area , Try to maintain personal hygiene , And food and water hygiene , Pay attention to mosquito bites , Take medication with you , Get medical attention immediately if you feel unwell .

Animal attacks

This doesn't happen very often for most travelers , If you are attacked in the wild or in a wildlife park, it must be a sad thing , But we can prevent attacks in advance . First of all, try not to walk around in areas where animals are present , Especially at night , Because animals like to look for food at night , Carry a torch with you , Because animals are afraid of fire . Never get too close to animals , Don't tease or feed wild animals , Especially animals with cubs around , Like elephants , Hippo . It seems gentle and lovely , Go crazy. They are your nightmares . According to statistics , Hippos are the animals that kill the most people in Africa every year , Not lions and hyenas . When camping in the wild, try to stay away from the animal activity area , Don't put food in the tent , Stay away from the tent .

terrorist attack

Some countries in the world are the number one targets of terrorist attacks , If you are in these countries , You should try to avoid going to crowded places , For example, shopping malls , School , Station , The airport , The church , Market, etc . Because terrorists mostly attack such areas , Because there will be many deaths and injuries , The panic they have to create can achieve their goal . Always pay attention to the abnormal behavior around you , Know something about the environment of your place , When danger comes , Can quickly escape . Watch more real-time news , Avoid countries and regions prone to terrorist attacks .

Kidnapping and murder

This danger will not be encountered by most travelers , Because kidnapping and murder are premeditated cases , Most travelers are uncertain , And the time is short , There will not be too much contact with the local people , There is no hatred , Unless you're too rich to be watched , Then we can only spend money to avoid disaster . Try not to conflict with the local people in any area , Respect anyone , Because you are an outsider , All favorable factors will not fall on your side , Sometimes it takes patience , In order not to let contradictions escalate to bring greater threat to oneself .

Food hygiene

We eat a lot of food every day , Travel in areas with poor sanitation , Have a preliminary understanding of your digestive function , If immunity is low , People with bad stomachs should not try strange and unclean food easily , Drink water try to drink bottled water , Wash and eat vegetables and fruits as much as possible , The meat should be cooked , Be careful about foods you don't know .

Heterosexual harassment

Female travelers should pay attention to this , Try not to be too revealing , Try not to get along with the opposite sex you don't know , Reduce activity at night , For bars , Nightclubs and other places of entertainment should be visited carefully , It's best to go out together . Try to keep the telephone unblocked , And a telephone number that can be contacted in time shall be reserved at the top of the address book , Relatives and friends , Rescue organizations can , In short, you will communicate with the outside world when you are in danger , Because sometimes you can't do anything by yourself , Can only wait for the rescue of others .
In case of harassment , You can shout for help according to your environment at that time , Don't look timid , Be brave , Maybe the gangster will flinch , Use all sharp objects on your body to attack the other party's vital parts , Like the eyes , throat , Rib belly , Crotch , Knees, etc . But be flexible , Some people don't like this , Irritating him is more dangerous to you .

Postscript

Above, I have summarized the common dangers in travel , Of course , This is just a summary of my own understanding and experience . I have been traveling for five years , I have never encountered anything very dangerous , Many people will ask me if you have ever been robbed ？ I hope my answer will always be “ No, ”. Build a strong body , Have good psychological quality and adequate preparation , Will keep you out of danger . Don't take any chances , Think ahead of time about the dangers you might encounter , In this way, when facing the real danger, we can react at the first time , This is the key to saving lives .

A soldier who can return home alive from the front line must have a stronger physique and superhuman military accomplishment , Yes, of course , Sometimes it takes a little bit of luck . The same is true of travel , Want to return safely , It is necessary to pay more attention to give yourself some necessary risk avoidance awareness and the ability to deal with risks . I will fully consider the dangers I may encounter before every trip , And assume how to deal with the danger once it comes . Besides, I will buy insurance a week before I leave , And make clear to the family about the insurance policy and other important matters before leaving , In case of danger , The family was at a loss , I'm in a mess .

Too many of us are not risk conscious , Always have a fluke , Don't take it for granted that danger is far away from you , But don't worry too much , believe me , The world will not become dangerous and dark because you have learned some bad news , You will never become comfortable and sunny because of the beauty you have experienced . The world will not stop working because of who has been lost , The society will not stop its progress because of who left , What should be explored is still to be explored , There are always people who will continue to move forward under a lot of pressure . The one who should come will come , Those who shouldn't have come will never find a way , Some people have experienced various moments of life and death , In the end, the hair is always intact , Some people stay at home but still suffer misfortune . There is no reason for such a thing , All we can do is learn more and be vigilant , Wipe away tears , Unlearn Sorrow , We should examine our travel rationally and seriously , When the danger will be temporary , Are you really ready ？

I would like to remind you again ： Remember to buy a suitable insurance for yourself before you travel ！ You may not think how high the cost of overseas distress and the repatriation of the remains , It'll really cost you your fortune ！ Buying an insurance is not only a guarantee for yourself, but also a responsibility for your relatives and friends , After all, don't let others pay for your own business ！ Be a responsible traveler for yourself and others .

I always feel that I have forgotten to say something , But I can't say it for a while , I also hope that you can leave a message to add any missing information , Or say your travel safety tips , I also hope that more travelers can see our sharing . Finally, I hope everyone can travel safely , Hope the tragedy doesn't happen again ！

This article is dedicated to those who love traveling , May the deceased compatriots be well in heaven .
