Staying somewhere new without becoming a one-person security audit.

The simple arrival check

• Confirm you know how to contact the front desk or host.
• Notice the main exit route from your room or floor.
• Keep key travel documents and valuables in a way that works for you.
• Keep your room or accommodation details private when practical.
• Choose public areas for unplanned meetings.
• Use official channels to verify unexpected visitors or service requests.

What not to assume. Someone saying they're staff doesn't automatically mean you need to open a door or share information. You can verify through the front desk or official contact method.

Keep meetings public when possible

If someone you don't know well wants to meet, a lobby, café, front desk area, or other public setting can give everyone more options.
