1 . Common-sense Safety Tips for Travelling Abroad

When a holiday is just around the comer, you may be planning a trip abroad. But to enjoy a worry-free adventure abroad, you also should pay attention to the following common-sense safety tips for travelling abroad.

    1    

Another reason to take only carry-on carriage---besides avoiding baggage fees---is that the less you have to carry around, the more quickly you can move, if necessary. You should always have a free hand. Besides, you won’t be exhausted from dragging all those bags around.    2    

Lock it up.

Leave your hotel with only what you need and lock up the rest. Take a lock for your luggage just in case your hotel doesn’t offer a safe.    3     If you don’t need all your cash and cards, don’t take them all with you when you go out for a day of sightseeing or shopping. Also, leave your passport in the hotel. Make photocopies of all your important documents and leave the hotel with a copy of your passport plus a one photo I.D. Why?    4     If all of your identification is in it, imagine the trouble you have to go through to replace it all.

Think and Plan.

Always keep in mind that, when you travel abroad, you are in a place you don’t know well and you can always be a target. Trust your senses.    5     After your arrival, ask the hotel staff and locals about the areas you are thinking of visiting, especially at night. And you should walk in well-lit areas at night and know how to contact the local police with your cell phone or a payphone in a foreign country, if necessary.

A．Travel light.

B．Pay by credit card.

C．Imagine having your bag stolen off a restaurant table.

D．You should also make it a habit to take your watch with you.

E．Plus, dragging lots of luggage is a dead giving away that you aren’t a local resident.

F．You should call ahead to be sure, especially if your luggage is made of cloth material.

G．You are smart and mature, so if something or some situation doesn’t feel safe, it probably isn’t.

An interactive museum of super-size space experiences: from a giant planet Earth you can touch to the UK’s biggest domed planetarium (穹顶天文台) and a 42-meter rocket tower.

9 . We have some practically secret national parks on our lists that you'll want to visit this spring.

Guadalupe Mountains National Park

The most visually striking point here is El Capitan. The massive cliff(悬崖), 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building, towers over the rest of the park, which offers you a perfect spot for taking impressive pictures. You can also wander the Salt Basin Dunes, 2,000 acres of shockingly white sands. If you're taking very long hikes, bring plenty of water and some protein-rich snacks.

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument

The Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument preserves more than 87,500 acres of wild rivers and thick forests. In addition to hiking and camping, Katahdin is a great spot for hunting and fishing. Bring some hiking boots and perhaps trekking poles(登山杖)to cross these rocky forest trails. The park has a day use fee of $5, and the first-come, first-serve campsites cost $8 per night.

North Cascades National Park

Though the snowy peaks of the North Cascades are dangerous in the winter, it turns into a thick and green park in the warmer months, filled with beautiful mountain valleys and clear lakes. You can take a guided nature hike or go fishing. Winter driving conditions in the North Cascades can be dangerous, due to water, frost, snow, or ice on the roads.
