How to stay safe when you’re travelling abroad

In a country where police have been accused of using excessive force against protestors and people with disabilities, Carrie homeland security announcement said that, in the case of any travel to certain countries, people should exercise caution. 

“When travelling abroad, you should exercise your due diligence and respect the privacy of those you intend to meet. 

Your presence at any time is not a guarantee of safety or the security of others,” Carrie said.”

When you are at a designated destination, you will be asked to take your own precautions.

“The government has no authority to monitor or control individuals’ personal whereabouts.
