Keep These Tips in Mind

Perception vs. Reality
It's easy to worry about insects, wildlife, or terrorism, but in truth, you're more likely to face risks driving to the airport in your home country. Media and government advisories can paint a distorted picture of the situation on the ground. Always gather information, but remember to keep it in perspective.
Navigating Roads
The most dangerous aspect of traveling is often spending too much time on the roads. Whenever possible, minimize road travel and opt for flights or trains. If driving is necessary, travel during daylight and request a slower speed from your driver.
Trust Your Instincts
Rely on common sense, heed local advice, and consult trustworthy travel guides. Being an informed traveler drastically reduces the already slim chance of encountering issues.
Focus on What Matters
Concern yourself with sunburn, heat exhaustion, and any pre-existing medical issues, rather than negative media portrayals. Ensure your trip is environmentally and socially responsible, and don't forget to keep your camera charged for all the stunning sights!
A Dose of Perspective
Remember that street crime and gun violence in many U.S. cities are statistically more dangerous than the places we visit abroad. The risk of dying from terrorism is incredibly low compared to everyday hazards like car accidents or lightning strikes.
