Travel Safety: Book First Nights' Accommodation

A very important consideration to take into account when traveling is safety. Recently, Frank Health Insurance asked me what my top safety planning tips were for traveling. For one, booking your first few nights of accommodation. I love traveling without making plans; however, I do believe it’s important to book your first few nights of accommodation. Why? Not only does it help you settle into a new place, but it makes you look less like a tourist upon arrival when you have a set destination. For some, booking the entire trip’s accommodation in advance will give them peace of mind, though note this makes it harder to have spontaneous itinerary changes (my favorite!). On the road I’ve met many travelers who led me to change my plans, and because I hadn’t planned too much I was able to. What would your top travel safety tip be?
