本文是旅行安全服务公司的负责人约翰·罗斯所提供的出行安全贴士。他归纳了出行时遇到的一些常见问题和五个小贴士。不要小看这些TIPS，关键时候说不定能帮上大忙呢。

No. 1: Keep your plans private.

第一条：行程保密

"Whether you are traveling domestically or abroad, don't discuss your itinerary," Rose said. Doing so can make you an easier target for scammers and fraud artists while traveling.

“不管是在国内还是在国外旅行，都不要透露自己的旅行日程”，罗斯说。不然，在旅途中就更容易被歹徒以及骗子盯上。

No. 2: Be alert and aware.

第二条：提高警觉

Keeping your eyes and ears open while away on business allows you to more easily blend in with your surroundings.If you manage to have a good grasp on the environment, "you won't be targeted for pick pocketing or scams," Rose said.

出门在外，要保持耳聪目明，这样更能随机应变。如果你能设法对周遭环境做到心中有数，“你就不会成为扒手和歹徒的目标”，罗斯说。

No. 3: Have an emergency contact.

第三条：要有紧急联系人

Keeping an emergency contact in your cell phone or wallet is always a smart idea, especially when traveling alone, Rose said."Always have someone at your company or in your family know your plans, as well," he added.

在手机或者钱包中留一个紧急联系人的联系方式绝对是个明智之举，特别是当你独自旅行时，罗斯说。他又补充道，“让某个同事或者家人知道你的行程同样很重要”。

No. 4: Book your ground transportation in advance.

第四条：提前预定地面交通工具

This is key when traveling internationally, Rose said. "Don't allow yourself to wait for transportation," he said. "Arrange it in advance, even if it's a taxi. Prepay for transit as well."

在国外旅行时，这点非常重要，罗斯说。别让自己等车，他说，就算只是辆的士，也要提前订好，并且预付车费。

No. 5: Copy your documents.

第五条：备份证件文书

This is another important tip for international trips. Rose said all important identification and medical documents should be copied and stored separately from your person. "Keep these in a separate place or bag, so if something gets stolen you don't lose your documents," he said.

这也是在国外旅行时需要注意的重要贴士，罗斯说，所有重要的证件以及医疗文书都要拷贝一份，并离身存放。“将这些文件单独存放”，这样就算你遇贼，也不会丢掉这些文件，他说。
