In reply to Kevin Pringle. Although room safes are not completely secure. There have been cases of belongings stolen from "secure" room safes.

Hey! Thankyou for such profound post. All the points mentioned here are worth considering. One more point I would like to add- when you travel, it is natural to carry all of the valuable things with you. You cannot carry your valuables all the time and have to store these in the hotel. To ensure complete safety and protection of your belongings it is necessary to choose a hotel having hotel room safes so that you can keep your belongings over there. This ensures complete peace of mind.

Those are some really good tips and recommendations, many of which I use. Something I have done, for many years, is stop when I arrive somewhere. I sit down and “sense” the place. It takes a few moments, but so far has kept me out of trouble. If you’re a guy traveling with a woman ask her – if she feels a bit iffy (maybe starts to squirm a little), STOP!. They have this fantastic intuition that’s spot on 95% of the time, while us guys have trouble getting it half right (so pay attention), that just might be a bad street to walk down.

Interesting tips – a lot of those are just using some common sense. I’ve never really thought about registering with my embassy before, definitely something to consider for countries experiencing a bit more unrest than others.
