Protect Your Power: Safe Travels & Smart Moves! 🛡️✈️

Updated: 5 days ago



Safe Travels: Protecting Your Body, Data, and Peace of Mind Recap


In our April 12th live workshop, ✈️ Safe Travels: Protecting Your Body, Data, and Peace of Mind, Executive Director Yesenia Yser and Security Analyst James Ray shared real-world strategies to help you travel smart and stay fierce — blending physical security with digital privacy in one powerful approach. 🛡️🌍


Whether you're crossing borders or crossing new thresholds in life, staying prepared means staying empowered.


💡 Key Topics Covered:


🏨 Hotel & Airbnb Safety

  • Use portable door locks, foot alarms, motion sensors, and hidden camera detectors to secure your space.

🔐 Identity Protection

  • Shield passports, phones, and cards with RFID-blocking wallets and gear to defend against digital theft.

📶 Wi-Fi Hygiene

  • Travel routers create a secure bridge between your devices and public networks.

  • Strong passwords, WPA3 encryption, and reduced signal ranges help safeguard your connections.

📱 SIM Card Privacy

  • Use temporary, data-only SIMs or dedicated “travel-only” phones to minimize location tracking and personal exposure.

💻 Clean Laptops

  • Travel with “clean” laptops using temporary drives and privacy-focused systems like Ubuntu Linux.

  • Keep sensitive data encrypted and safe in the cloud rather than on local devices.

⚖️ Global Data Laws

  • Understand how international privacy laws vary.

  • Protect yourself by using encrypted apps like Signal and secure VPNs when abroad.


🛡️ Whether you're traveling solo or with family, these smart strategies empower you to move boldly and safely — carrying the instincts, resilience, and heart of a lioness wherever you roam. 🦁✈️🌍
