Book the first stage before arrival
Know where you will stay, how you will reach it and who to contact if plans change. Share the first-day details with a trusted person.
Use guided experiences strategically
A guided heritage or city experience can provide context and help you become familiar with an area before exploring independently.
Keep your itinerary visible to someone you trust
Share major transfers and overnight locations. Check in at agreed times without posting your precise live location publicly.
