My upcoming French trips had been terrorized.

I received the travel news about upcoming French trip to Paris, France. France is a temporary dangerous country to travel alone following the ISIS bombing in Paris last month. My trip to Paris had been canceled because I can’t afford to spend any more on an airline ticket (originally getaway airport was Newark) for the summer via flight cancellation, so I have to plan an alternative safer cities. Following the attacks, this is not a dangerous country, according to Global Peace Index, however, but if you planned a trip to France, you must take precautions immensely. The current level of France’s Global Peace Index is 45, which is safer than US.  (http://www.visionofhumanity.org/…).

My church families and friends knew some parts of France is safer than the location, but the cause of the bombing remains concealed. As on November 13, 2015, we commemorated the victims of the attacks in Paris as well as the tourists, solo or with someone, will pray for the suffers. I cannot say you should not be visiting France, but you must know alternate plans in case of emergencies. This new archive is essential measures to keep everybody safe as well as solo, couple or group tourists. You should check and update travel news continually if the destinations are safe enough to go alone or with someone. I provide some alternatives that guide you how to go safely:

  • Know the location and be aware of your surrounding as well as your personal property. Be sure to come home (e.g., hotel, relative houses) at the appropriate time and to protect you from endangering yourself into unsafe areas. 
  • If you plan to travel abroad internationally, the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) will guide foreign visitors need to do in case of emergencies or to seek embassies for other guidelines. I highly recommended Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) before travel abroad. Link: (https://step.state.gov/
  • Please contact your parents and friends you arrive the destination safely. Be sure to accommodate your trip itinerary in case of emergencies. 
  • Provide warning signals indicate that you are in safer/dangerous place. If you are in a perilous situation, for example, an alley, it is advised to move to a more secure location as an escape. 
  • Having emergency contacts is highly recommended to carry you, e.g., phone number, hotel number, parent’s phone number, and other emergencies such as mental, health or other remedies. 
  • Warning to visitors: Don’t travel to dangerous places or locations and going out late at night alone. Stick to the well lit, populated safe area. You will far more protect yourself and others. Before you go, I highly advised you should check current crime rate before you go. (http://www.numbeo.com/crime/
  • Don’t engage in any of agitator groups or protests of any kind. These groups can lead to violence, and you will be ended up in behind bars/fines/capital punishment. You may not be able to leave the country. You don’t want that to happen. 
  • Know the common scene. To avoid distress or social problems before November 13, 2015, don’t discuss religious or racial, racial slurs of any kind. These topics face a lot of daily racism, prejudice, and discrimination. These themes linked to social and political violent riots or protests. Don’t let these subjects sting you. 

These forethought tips will help travelers need to travel safely and reliability.
