How to get in Stay safe
Before you get in to your destination, you should consider the following:
It's always a good idea to check your foreign ministry's travel advisory for your destination, before setting off. The FCO in the UK, The Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade in Australia and The Bureau of Consular Affairs in the US, are excellent sources even if you are not a citizen of those countries.
Consider whether you're going to arrive during a good season weather-wise. For example, tropical storms can be a danger in various areas (hurricanes in the Caribbean area and southern United States, typhoons in Asia, especially along the coast from Vietnam to Japan) especially in hot weather, and tornadoes, sometimes called "twisters" can pose a danger to travelers in some parts of the world (especially in the United States), most often in spring and summer.
War zones or former war zones, often called hostile environments, are not the most obvious places for non-essential travel, but with the right preparation and experience they can provide the intrepid traveller with a unique experience. However, no one should visit a country in this category without seriously considering the risks and how to mitigate them. Tourists can be just as much a target of hostility as any military force. Indeed, tourists could be regarded as a soft target since they do not have the backup of a large organisation. In recent times, tourists have been targeted in Afghanistan, Egypt and Kenya.
When traveling, never let your bags out of your sight, especially when you are crossing international borders. Do not offer to carry anything for another person unless you trust them absolutely. You could find yourself being used as a drug carrier without your knowledge, which will land you in a great deal of trouble. Unattended bags can also attract attention from authorities wary of bomb threats.
When arriving at an unfamiliar destination, try to arrive during the day, if possible, rather than trying to find your way around at night.
Consider local laws on homosexuality or age of consent that may have legal repercussions for you.
