other practices available for embodying safety, in day to day experiences, are avoiding empty areas late at night, staying on active streets, near bars and restaurants, and with groups of friends - when travelling abroad foreigners are always easier to pick out in a crowd and naturally attract more attention than locals - this is unfortunately an extra component of being targeted for theft in foreign lands as vulnerability increases.

when enjoying the beautiful beaches, day and night, it is possible visitors might not want to leave the sand - sleeping on the beach may seem like a good idea but, again it puts individuals in a vulnerable place - an individual sleeping on the beach is an easy target for theft since they are defenseless.

anyone wanting to go for a night time swim should avoid deserted portions of the beaches such as posto 3 after dark - post 5 and 6 in copacabana, or arpoador, normally have night time activity and night time swimmers - a good judge of whether or not a place is good for night swimming is answering the questions of lights, open kiosk, and human activity.
