ñ  Immodest clothing

When you will be traveling to a country with religious beliefs, it is never a good idea to wear immodest clothing that goes against their beliefs. It is recommended that you dress conservatively to avoid disrespecting the country's traditions. Plus, dressing conservatively is one good way for you to stay safe abroad. This is most especially true for female travellers. Plus, it is always best to bring a shawl so that you can keep your arms and legs covered when you visit temples and other religious places.

ñ  Brightly coloured clothes

When it comes to picking clothes for traveling abroad, it is recommended that you play it safe. Avoid wearing clothes that would make you stand out. Instead, opt for normal looking everyday clothes that would allow you to blend in the crowd.

ñ  Open-toe shoes

Traveling involves lots of walking so it is never a good idea to wear open to shoes. Opt for closed-toe shoes as this type of shoes can protect your feet from bumps, bruises, cuts and insect bites. In addition to this, wearing open-toe shoes can also increase the risk for infection.

ñ  White sneakers

As mentioned above, you will surely walk a lot when you travel abroad. Because of this, your all-white sneakers will surely become dirty. If you wish to avoid gathering dust and dirt along the way, then, by all means, avoid wearing white sneakers.

ñ  Backpack

We all know that using a backpack is one good hands-free solution in carrying all your travel items. However, a backpack is not recommended as it will place your things in danger of being picked and pick pocketed by thieves. Because of this, you must opt for a money belt or a cross body bag as a safer option.

ñ  Flashy jewelries

If you wish to avoid attracting thieves, then never ever wear flashy jewelries. Save all these for parties and high society events.
