Visiting a new, unfamiliar place is thrilling and rewarding. It also requires some serious street smarts.
A new video from Buzzfeed lays out eight scams reported by travelers, ranging from minor headaches like being overcharged in a taxi to more serious offenses like having your credit card number stolen.
The video aims to equip you with knowledge and awareness to avoid falling victim to those same scams on your next trip.
With a little planning ahead (like wearing a purse with a chain strap instead of fabric for example), and a steady alertness, you can go back to prioritizing the most important part of a vacation -- enjoying it.
Take a look at the video above, and check out some more travel scams to avoid here.
