Basics about Spring Break Safety
    Spring break, or spring vocation, is a vocational period in early spring at universities and schools in various countries in the world. It’s a good time to travel with other students. I’ve come up with some ways that you can stay safe and have a happy Spring Break!
    First, travel safety. [1]Make sure that whoever will be driving has a valid driver’s license. In fact, make sure that everyone does. Plans can change on a moment’s notice. [2]Make sure you are aware of exactly how to get to your destination and how to get back. Whoever sits in the passenger’s seat should try to stay awake to keep the driver company. This is especially true if you’ll be driving at night. [3]Falling asleep can be kind of a contagious thing... have you ever noticed that watching someone else doze off often makes you more tired? Accidents are very easily caused by the driver falling asleep at the wheel.
    [4]If you’ll be traveling out of the country, you’ll need a passport and possibly a visa Make sure that you know exactly what documents you’ll need. Believe me; [5]travel documents do not arrive quickly, so make sure that you put your application in about six months in advance. Just make sure to give yourself plenty of time.
    [6]Second, money safety. If you can, always use the ATM at the hotel where you’ll be staying. If there isn’t one available there, always choose one in a well-lit location and go with a group. Take a complete 360 degree look at your surroundings before you use the ATM. If someone is creeping you out, use a different machine. Don’t ignore your gut instincts. Also, I know you’ve heard this a million times, but always cover your password while you type it in!
    [7]Make sure you check your bank account regularly. You never know who may be lurking nearby waiting to try to take advantage of students. Check all the charges on your statement for legitimacy.
    If you’re going to be traveling overseas, tell your bank at home where you’ll be going. If you don’t, they may see foreign charges and shut down your card, which leaves you in another country with no money. This can happen even if you’re traveling within the country. Just make sure to stop by the bank before you leave.
    Third, valuables and documents safety. [8]Don’t wear or bring a lot of flashy luxury items. Especially overseas, lots of jewelry and expensive things attract attention when it’s better for you to keep a low profile. [9]Anything valuable should be locked in a hotel safe during the day, and the door to your room should most definitely be locked at night Don’t tell anyone who isn’t in your group your room number.
    If you’ll be out of the country, try to get a passport holder which will hang around your neck under your clothes for your travel documents and cash. Keep it on you at all times. [10]Even in the country or in "safe" places, keep an eye on your purse. Never leave it unattended.
    Lastly, remember all these things and enjoy your spring break! Thank you.
