Travelling abroad is exciting, but it's also worth recognising the risks. Foreign travellers can become targets for pickpockets, con artists, and worse. The good news is you can minimise these dangers with the right knowledge and planning.
We cover the practical questions you might not think about until it's too late: what happens if you get ill or injured abroad? Do you need travel insurance? What medical care are you entitled to? Beyond that, you'll find concrete advice on specific destinations, their risk profiles, and how to avoid common problems.
Our site is packed with tips to help you sidestep nasty situations and enjoy your trip safely.
