Choose accommodation wisely.
Check all the options the hotel, the location, the services they provide and the type of rooms. Try to avoid hostels.
Protect your money and documents.
If your packing and luggage, you need to travel light and avoid carrying many bags and personal belongings with you. A good tip is to get a money belt, you may find it easy, it's cheap and you can use it under your clothes.
Visit public and safe places.
Avoid walking alone, especially at night and in dark places. Try to visit popular sites and if you need or even prevent certain information requires a foreigner, it is better to go to a cafe, restaurant or store and ask an employee. You can also use a pepper spray.
Avoid Taxis.
Taxis are not always the best option, you do not know if they are completely safe or what route they take. You do not have to find one taxi standing in the street, there are several private transportation agencies such as Uber, or shuttle you all details of the airport for your trip, such as the type of car, the name driver, roads and provide time information. You can also ask a woman behind the wheel if you want!
Bring some medicines or your "first aid kit" personal.
You know your body and what medications you need in specific situations. Recall that it would be difficult, city or place a number of drugs in other countries, to find, you better bring your own (medicines for headaches, stomach pain, antibacterial gel, contraceptives, etc.).
Pay attention to what you eat and drink.
Do not eat or drink too much, you know limits. You can use sites like Trip Advisor and find the most recommended places. Try to avoid eating on the street and if you want to have fun and make a few drinks in moderation. When you meet people in restaurants and bars, let them know that you are traveling alone and do not provide specific information. You never know intentions and who you talk to people.
Learn the basics of the local language.
If you travel, you have all the words and meanings that you might need to learn to another country with another language (such as toilets, banks, hotels, restaurants, food, hospitals, services transportation, etc.) or you can bring a dictionary with you. This way, people can easily understand.
Trust and listen to your instincts, take care of yourself and have a great trip.
