Tips for Staying Safe on Spring Break
Whether you are traveling in the United States or venturing to an island or resort in another country, it is important to be aware of and follow local laws, to go out as a group rather than venturing out alone, and to stick to main areas. When traveling overseas, there are special precautions you should take to ensure your trip goes as planned. Follow these travel safety tips from the U.S. Department of State:
- Make sure you have a valid passport and I.D. and keep all documents in a safe place.
- Use licensed and regulated taxi services to get where you want to go.
- Lower drinking ages overseas often leads to overconsumption of alcohol. Watch how much you drink, and encourage your friends to do the same.
- Be wary of people offering drugs, and do not underestimate the harsh penalties most countries have for those caught buying or selling them.
- Most resort towns have a high crime rate, with people who prey specifically on unsuspecting tourists. Be aware that scams are common, and avoid any situation that seems suspicious.
