Travelling is generally a wonderful and enriching experience, but if you want to help ensure that you have the best time possible, it's important to take precautions.
Your accommodation is going to have a significant impact on how your adventure turns out, so it makes sense that you'll want it to be both well suited to your itinerary and a safe place to sleep at night. While most hotels and Airbnbs are generally secure enough, taking steps to improve your safety is never a bad idea.
