Choose Your Place to Stay Carefully!
Just as important as enjoying the city is being able to have a restful and safe rest...
Before your trip, take a few moments to visualize your arrival at the accommodation. Imagine a smooth process from your arrival to entering your room, feeling calm and secure. Also, follow these practices to ensure a pleasant stay:
- Choose accommodations with good references: When looking for your lodging, focus on those that have positive security ratings from other travelers. By reading their experiences, imagine how you will enjoy an equally safe and comfortable stay. Be careful to verify the existence of the property and the truthfulness of the features offered. Avoid falling for scams involving fake rentals or fraudulent travel agencies.
- Practice situational awareness: Upon arrival and during your stay, maintain an attitude of curiosity and observation towards your surroundings. By being aware of what is happening around you, you can anticipate and act proactively to stay safe. Ensure your room has windows not accessible from the outside, a door with a peephole and locking chain, and a lock that only opens with your key.
- Connect with the accommodation staff: Upon arrival, establish a positive connection with the staff. Show interest and appreciation for their work. A friendly bond can motivate them to provide you with valuable information on how to stay safe in the area and be more proactive in looking after you.
- Organize your belongings securely: Before leaving, take a moment to organize your belongings in a way that keeps your items safe and discreet. Always use the safety deposit boxes in the room or at the hotel reception to store important documents, money, jewelry, or other valuables. Visualize how this practice allows you to move with freedom and security, knowing you have minimized risks.
- Check for basic safety features: Verify the existence of fire extinguishers, fire and gas leak alarms, first aid kits, evacuation routes, and other useful elements to act effectively in an emergency.
- Report any irregularities: If you witness any unusual or out-of-the-ordinary behavior by other guests or people outside the accommodation, report it immediately to the person in charge. From that moment on, it will be their responsibility to provide you with peace of mind about the observed situation.
- Trust your intuition: Listen to and trust your feelings and hunches. If something doesn’t feel right, allow your intuition to guide you towards safe decisions. Visualize how this internal connection serves as a personal compass, always guiding you towards safety.
Remember, focusing on the positive and mentally preparing are powerful steps towards a safe and rewarding experience.
Your attitude and proactive actions are key to fully enjoying your trip while staying safe at all times.
