I'm about to go to Italy for 3 days in Naples, and 5 days in Sorrento, and have heard so many bad things about Naples track record, but no advice on how to limit potential trouble. Your tips, especially about dress codes and jewlery will be a great help Thank you for the travel tips.

Another asset is the Travel Registration program offered by the State Department. Also, be aware of the location and how to contact the US Embassy in any country you are visiting. https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/ui/ Great information!!!

I agree with attaching yourself to a family for security. Whenever I am traveling alone I always try to appear as if that is not the case. I also agree with the comment to limit the flashy jewelery. Certainly don't need to attract unwanted attention! Great tips! I agree with attaching yourself to a family for security.

They might be drugged. Make up an excuse like upset stomach/allergy and move away if the person is being insistent. Useful info.Also, do not accept food or drinks from friendly strangers.

I've done a lot of solo travel, and I agree with all your points. One other thing I'd add is look nice but not rich. Leave the fancy, sparkly jewelry at home, and where very basic, simple stuff. I usually travel with one of those little cards of 8 pairs of earrings that are just colored chips of metal, but which look nice with my outfits. No temptation to robbers on the street or housekeepers at the hotel. Earrings, a simple wrist watch, and sometimes a plan silver ring, which can be worn on the left hand when one wishes to discourage attention, are all the jewelry I ever take along. Good advice.

All airports have them but many people don't know about them. I almost got scammed by a guy who led me to a creepy van.. when I asked for his papers he showed me something that looked like he made it in his basement with safety scissors. USE THE STAND!.. Good tips! Ahh.. very true about the taxi line. All airports have them but many people don’t know about them.
