Practice Personal Safety

Consider learning basic self-defense. For instance, by striking the eyes, nose, throat, groin or knees, you can disable an assailant. Research your destination so you'll know what to expect in terms of attitudes toward foreigners and, if you're female, women.  Request a room that isn't on the ground floor, which can offer easy access through a window.

Avoid opening your door to people who are unknown to you or who do not identify themselves. Give them emergency numbers of family or friends. Walk with confidence. If you're feeling nervous, seek out a fellow traveler as a temporary companion or stay close to another pedestrian so that you don't appear to be alone.

Stay sober, or at least know your limits when drinking.Create a temporary home, if you are staying more than a couple of days, by decorating your room with familiar objects, such as pictures, candles and flowers.You might also bring a guidebook or map to help plan the next part of your trip.

Meet other travelers through classes or tour groups. They can share travel tips with you and even become temporary travel companions.

How to Write a Travel Brochure

A tri-fold brochure is one of the easiest and most economical ways to accomplish this. Instructions

Identify the objective of the brochure you are designing. If, in contrast, you are an independent travel agent who is giving an overview of the services your agency offers and an insider's look at "The Top 10 Destinations for Honeymoons," the purpose of the brochure is to let prospective clients know what you do and get them thinking about where they might like to spend their next vacation. The layout instructions are basically the same for both types of brochures, but this article will focus on the independent organizer as opposed to a travel agency.

Identify the dates of travel and the destinations to be covered. If you have never been to the destination before, you'll need to do your homework by doing research on the Internet, visiting travel blogs, and getting advice and recommendations from fellow travelers.

  

Determine who your target audience is for the trip.         Assemble the photographs you want to use in your tri-fold brochure. Ideally, these will already be in a digital format and can be dropped into place easily among the text. It's also useful to have a photo editing software program such as Roxio Photo Suite so that you can crop the images as well as pump up the color.

Select the images that best fit your proposed itinerary. If, for example, the trip is going to involve nature hikes, you'll want to include landscape shots, photos of animals they're likely to see and flowers/trees digenous to the area. If the trip involves stage productions and fine dining, you'll want to use photographs of the different theaters and pictures of elegant meals. Shopping excursions could feature glam closeups of shoes, jewelry and antiques.

Set up your brochure as a Worddocument and define the page layout as Landscape. Specify three columns. This will automatically generate the three sections into which you'll enter your text and your selected photos. Enter some sample text in each of the three columns and print it out. Fold the page into thirds and make adjustments so that the text will be neatly centered in each column.         Use the "Create Text Box" function in your word program to identify where each of the photos are going to go on the brochure. For instance, you'll want a large vertical photo (3 inches by 4 inches) on the front of the brochure along with the name of the tour and the dates. Save the front and back of your brochure to a disk or flash drive and take it to a print shop for reproduction. Glossy paper always shows much better than matte, especially if you want your photographs to look their best.
