As summer approaches, many of us are eagerly planning our long-awaited vacations. While the excitement is palpable, it’s crucial not to overlook the importance of travel safety. By following a few essential tips, you can ensure a memorable and safe summer vacation. In this blog post, we’ll outline five top travel safety tips to help you make the most of your holiday.
Most people would never dream of going up to robbers, thieves and violent criminals and letting them know where they are going to be and when. No one would let a robber know when no one will be home. However, this is exactly what happens when pictures are posted to social media portraying the location and persons involved in events as they are happening. It is human nature to want to share memorable times with others, but it doesn’t have to put you and your family at risk.
The key to keeping your home secure while traveling is to make it appear you have never left. The good news is that this is very easy to do and will cost you little to nothing. Here are ten things you can do to keep your home secure while you are away.
Social media has became a large part of our lives. Regardless of whether or not you have personal accounts, social media impacts your life. At a high level, location services collect data of where you’ve been. Location services can also calculate where you may go and when based on previous habits. Once data has been collected it’s out of your control. New ways of analyzing existing data are being developed. What may seem harmless today may not be so tomorrow.
Road trips are something most of us do, whether for business or pleasure. There are many dynamics regarding this type of travel that affect our safety. With proper planning, the risks associated with road trips can be minimized.

Something as simple as leaving your ID and a garage door opener in your car while going for a jog at the park can give a stranger complete access to your home and family.
