It’s a hard miss and hit.
Traveling for us is definitely an escape but it is very important to not get carried away while having the time of our lives. Over the years I have traveled with friends, strangers and family members. Sometimes, it’s a hard miss and hit with nothing going wrong while on a trip. Has that happened to you too? So, the bottom line is that we must establish certain boundaries or precautions before we head on to our adventure. This is only to be able to avoid any unnecessary troubles and problems that could possibly arise.
So, here are my tips to indulge yourself in a safe group trip.
1) Just be attentive:
While growing up we have learnt a lot from our experiences. So it is important to not forget those learnings and be aware of your surroundings. Of course, it should not lead to paranoia but just to be more attentive. For example: Do thorough research and depending on the country you plan your group travel to, make sure that you have planned the time you get back to your hotel at night and how you do so. Also, it’s always nice to be open with friendly locals but try to draw a line so you’re not letting your guard completely down. Another tip would be to ask locals or people working at the hotel you stay as to which locality should be completely avoided especially if you are a group of girls traveling together.
2) Emergency contact and other important information:
This tip is coming from my personal experience. HA!! Always make sure you have an emergency contact number and other important information memorised (if you are good at that) or noted in a paper apart from it being listed in your phone. It happened to me once that my friend and I got separated from the rest of the group, got lost and unfortunately had our phones switched off. However, the good thing is I am still here talking to you about my experience but I would not want it to happen to you all. So always remember to have important numbers listed somewhere else just in case your phone dies on you.
3) Make a copy of your important travel documents:
A very important tip is to make sure that you have made a copy of important travel documents so that you are ready for unforeseen experiences.
4) Being adventurous is all fun and games but too much of something is risky:
Ha! I sound like someone’s mother but what I am trying to say is that having an adventurous trip is definitely a lifetime experience. However, I would recommend that you do good research on instructors and schools you plan to enroll in for all activities.
5) Covid safety:
Make sure you have set the expectations right or discuss with your group members on all COVID relating safety requirements. This is to avoid any clashes. I would recommend you to research on COVID-19 guidelines for your next group trip.
6) Plan well ahead of time:
The key to a well organised group trip is to plan ahead of time. This is to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Also, why not check out the best gadgets to use for a safe group trip?
