While travelling we all want to relax and take in the new part of the world that surrounds us. Just enjoy things many of the locals do. But in doing this we have to remember to be safe and alert. My dad is currently working in Italy. Earlier this week he was in a bar with a few people he works with. He woke up the next morning back in his room with all of his credit cards stuffed into his pockets along with his expensive sunglasses, something he never does.
My mom and him later realized that Bank of America had frozen their accounts because of unusual activity. My dad (a man in his forties) went to a bar in Italy for a few drinks, got drugged and had almost $1000 stolen.
This whole event is so scary. I’m just glad he is ok. In the world we live in today, people need to be so wary of their surroundings.

I agree that traveling is a scary thing. Especially, when you are going to a foreign country that you don't know anything about. When my mom plans vacations she always researches the area and makes sure it is a safe environment to be in. I remember being in Colombia over winter break on a cruise. We got off the ship and were accompanied by so much security and police. The bus we were on was being followed by cops on motercycles in order to ensure that we were safe. Things happen and you need to be safe rather then sorry.
