How to stay safe while travelling!


Every time we travel to a new place we wonder how the life is there and what to do to be safe during our travel.
Well, it’s quite simple! 
1. Research Your Destination Thoroughly Before Your Book Your Ticket!
Before you go ahead and book your ticket, plan your trip and what you will be visiting. For many travelers, planning and researching is the last thing they think about. Well, that’s wrong!
Check your destination’s climate, streets, hotels, shopping places, airport take and drop off, food and etc… This will help you decide what you need prepare for your trip.

2. Keep Your Valuables With You!
If you are going on a transit flight you better keep all your valuables in your carry-on bag! Or at the first place, you shouldn’t get any valuables with you when travelling unless they are necessary!
We are trying to keep you safe so you need to follow what we say!

3. Only Take What You Need!
If you are going out in the country and leaving your hotel room, then you better leave your important belongings inside the room and go out with only what you need most. If you carry a credit/debit card, then you better use it other than cash as it will be much safer!

4. Blend in as Much as You Can
Try to blend with people as much as you can, see what they do and try to imitate with a way that you do not show that you are just trying to be like them. Try their food, dress like them and speak more to them. This will make you enjoy your trip and will help you stay safe as you won’t show as a foreigner!
5. Spend Extra Money on Staying Safe
Stay in a safe place, do not just book a place in a dangerous neighborhood because it’s cheap! Your safety is more important than money.

Where to go in Bosnia?

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Sometimes called Bosnia-Herzegovina or Bosnia & Herzegovina, is a country in Southeastern Europe located on the Balkan Peninsula. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and the northeast is predominantly flatland. The inland is a geographically larger region and has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers 
and cold and snowy winters. The southern tip of the country 
has a Mediterranean climate and plain topography.

What to do in Bosnia

Tunnel Museum

The most visceral of Sarajevo's many 1990s war-experience 'attractions', this unmissable museum's centerpiece and raison d'être is a short section of the 1m wide, 1.6m high hand-dug tunnel under the airport runway which acted as the city's lifeline to the outside world during the 1992–95 siege, when Sarajevo was virtually surrounded by Serb forces.

Vratnik
Built in the 1720s and reinforced in 1816, Vratnik Citadel once enclosed a whole area of the upper city. Patchy remnants of wall fragments, military ruins and gatehouses remain. The urban area is appealingly unnourished with many small mosques and tile-roofed houses, and there are several superb viewpoints. Start a visit with a 3KM taxi hop up to the graffiti-daubed Bijela Tabija fortress ruin-viewpoint (or take buses 52 or 55 to Višegradski Kapija gatehouse) then walk back.

Pyramid of the Sun

Is Visoko's 250m-high Visočica Hill in fact the World's Greatest Pyramid? That's the intriguing if widely discredited theory of Semir Osmanagic, an American-Bosnian Indiana Jones–style researcher who claims it was built approximately 12,000 years ago by a long-disappeared super culture.

Tekija

Blagaj's signature attraction is this pretty half-timbered Dervish House standing beside the surreally blue-green Buna River where it gushes out of a cliff-cave. Upstairs the Tekija's wobbly wooden interior has some attractive woodwork and a fine ceiling in the Firdevs room.
