Spring Break Safety

With Spring Break just around the corner, you can take a few precautions and still have the time of your life. 


For example, if you want to avoid touring all the bathrooms during Spring Break, then eat yogurt every day for a week before you leave. The cultures and enzymes will strengthen the digestive system and helps avoid the dreaded Montezuma’s Revenge. Rushing to the Porta-Potty bathroom is not fun. This is just one of the many tips in the free Guide to Student Travel by the safety experts at www.CollegeSafe.com.


Here are some more tips for Spring Breakers:

• If you are taking a road trip, check out all belts, hoses, fluid levels, spare tire and tires on the car.

• Pack tools, a cellular phone, a first aid kit, a flashlight, fire extinguisher, water and snacks just in case the car breaks down.

• Remember to bring your health insurance card.

• Let your family and trusted friends know when you are leaving, when you’ll get back and how you are traveling.

• If you are traveling by bus, rail or air, don’t bring magazines with your name and address. Tear off your address label. You do not want people who know that you are away from home to know where you live.

• Don't have your name and address highly visible on your luggage for the same reason.

• Be aware of pickpockets who prey on people in crowds. They get close and bump into you without you noticing. Pickpockets also work in groups. One will distract while the other slips away with your goodies.

• If you stop at a restaurant, bar or café and set your bag down, put your foot through the strap. That way it won't be taken without you knowing. Also, you'll remember to take it with you when you trip over it as you leave.


Take these simple precautions and you can have a Spring Break full of happy memories.
