How to Avoid being a Moto Travel Target
Bribes, theft, assaults and other personal security measures.

What are my rights as a foreigner? And how do I cope with foreign law?
As a traveller, what are my rights as a foreigner? Will my country step in to help? How do I cope with local laws and rules?

LISTENER QUESTION:

Kelley Huse: I've heard you all talk about part of the magic of traveling in a foreign country is immersing yourself in the local culture and language, also stating that sometimes the language barrier can be a bit of a problem.
With hand held instant translators like the Muama Enence now being available and affordable, do you feel that using a device like this would take away from the foreign travel experience, or would use of the device be a non issue, as there are a lot of other ways that local culture immersion are achievable?
