Leave what valuables you can at home and don’t take them on your trip. The more valuables you bring with you, the more chance you have of losing one or more of them or possibly having them stolen.
You must plan ahead if you are going to fly. The trip to the airport requires that you give ample time to deal with traffic, rush hour conditions and other unexpected delays. Be packed and ready the night before. Be prepared long before you have to be at the airport. Not making your flight will cost you time and money.
When you are traveling in unfamiliar locations, be sure to watch for scammers posing as government officials trying to take advantage of you.

Never, under any circumstances, get in a car with an unknown local.
