Safety When Playing Away from Home

Verification is Critical

When you're meeting people you've never encountered before, in a place where no one knows you, verification becomes even more important:

• Always video chat before meeting in person
• Look for verification badges on profiles
• Meet in public first—no exceptions
• Check if they have reviews or certifications from others

Practical Safety Steps

• Share your plans and location with a trusted friend
• Have your own transportation (rental car, rideshare app)
• Keep your phone charged and location services on
• Have your own accommodation to return to
• Don't get intoxicated with people you've just met
• Bring your own protection—don't rely on others

International Considerations

• Research local laws regarding sexual activity and lifestyle
• Some countries have strict laws about extramarital relations
• Cultural norms vary significantly
• Have embassy contact information
• Consider travel insurance that covers medical needs
