Leaving home exposes you to new cultures, people, and places. While the these same things make traveling wonderful, they can also expose you to theft or worse.

Staying safe on the road is a combination of researching beforehand, blending in, and good money management.

• Research - The single more important thing you can do to stay safe in foreign lands is to take 10 minutes before you go and research online. Read about the safe and sketchy parts of town, any local faux pas, and common scams.

Darren from Travel Rants has selected my post on the pros and cons of using cash during the various stages of travel for the latest version of his blog carnival.

There were some other excellent selections, including Guido’s on the future of KLM (one of my favorite airlines), Karen’s on the definition of a hostel, and Annie’s on the banning of alcohol on London’s underground (nothing shocking for us in the US, it’s banned in most public places).

The travel blog carnival has helped me to connect with many travel bloggers and increased the number of posts I read everyday in my RSS reader! I appreciate the selection and glad to meet and reconnect with many of you.

Miriam asks: What about having a lot of trouble waking up from an afternoon nap, even after a poor night??s sleep? I often find myself feeling extra groggy and dim, the opposite of what I hope for!

The travel blog covering travel stories and advice from Europe has caught my eye and is now on the blogroll. I strongly recommend adding The New Home of Suddenly Susan to your RSS reader, and I’m sure I’ll be linking to her from time to time.
