Safety travel tips for women: • There are many safety devices available for women who travel • Don't let fear ruin your travel vacations, but some pepper spray is a good precaution • Use common sense and be alert and aware of your surroundings • If you are unsure about the local situation, check with the U.S. Embassy or Consulate • Try to appear confident with strangers; criminals prey on the weak. • If all else fails in a scary situation, scream, kick, and simply try to attract attention.
