Self Protection
During the last six years of world travel, we have never had any bad experiences. But we take precautions. Here are four simple measures you should take:
PacSafe
This steel mesh reinforced bag is very useful for storing your important papers and accessories. You can secure and lock the steel wire to a piece of non-movable furniture to discourage opportunistic robbers.
A PacSafe is also a must when using hotel safes:
We have heard numerous stories about people who, after putting their credit card in a hotel safe, learned with some stupefaction several days later that their transactions were being rejected for lack of funds. What had happened? A member of the hotel staff had opened the safe and cloned the credit card in their absence. When you become aware of this fraud it is usually too late. For extra protection always store your valuables in a PacSafe before putting it in a hotel safe.
An Internet Secure Tunnel is a MUST! Period.
A protection like GoTrusted is especially important for wireless and cable internet users. Web site addresses, instant messaging, personal information, plain text usernames and passwords and other important information can be clearly broadcast when using publicly accessible wireless Internet connections. These broadcasts can be easily intercepted by other local users.
How it works: The GoTrusted's service creates a protective shield around your laptop that prevents any users from attacking or scanning your system from the local network that you're using to connect to the Internet. It also encrypts all of your traffic that is destined for the Internet, so that whether you're using wireless (hotspots in cafes, airports, hotels, libraries) or wired (company offices, hotels) connections, you'll always be assured that your traffic isn't being logged or scanned locally.
Diversion Safe
This clever can-tainer has the same feel as its regular household counterpart, but it has a hidden compartment for securing valuables. Unscrew one end and hide your valuables such as money, jewelry or passports. Presto! Your valuables are completely concealed... in plain sight! Buy one here.
Self Defense
Even if you have never practiced any martial arts, you should read at least one or two self-defense books to learn the simple little tricks that can instantly stop an aggression. The objective is not to win a fight but to give you enough time to escape. You will fell more secure on the street and everywhere else.
Possessing this knowledge purveys a strange feeling. I am not kidding here. It can be so intense that you are almost ready and almost hoping that something will happen. This is the exact mindset you need to discourage wannabe aggressors. Usually, they look for the weakest prey. Don't feel like one.
