While traveling you are not in you normal surroundings, your friends and family is far away and help maybe difficult to reach. You are unfamiliar with the local culture and habits and it might be difficult to detect dangers in time or to see them at all. Especially if you do not speak the local language a lot of information never gets to you. You might miss local gossip, a warning in the newspaper or public announcements. No problem if everything is ok, but an additional risk.

Use common sense!
