Travel as lightly as possible, and keep
in mind the season in the country at the time of your stay. Summers are
hot. Remember most things can be bought overseas. Leave the expensive
jewelry at home, but be sure to have an inexpensive wristwatch. A money
belt isn’t a bad idea. Although most areas are very safe, where there
are crowds, there could be pickpockets.
