The hotel room key is left on the restaurant table. The laptop with three years of client files is handed to a border official who asks for the password. A friendly stranger in the bar seems unusually interested in the company. A taxi from the airport takes an unexpected turn. Most travel goes perfectly well, but when it does not, the difference is usually down to preparation.
Before the trip
We brief travellers on the realities of their destination, from crime and political tension to local laws and customs that visitors often fall foul of. We cover what to take, what to leave behind, and how to reduce the information carried on phones and laptops, including the use of clean travel devices for higher-risk journeys.
On the ground
Practical habits for hotels, airports, ground transport and meetings. Recognising when you are being targeted, whether by thieves, scammers or people with more serious intentions. Keeping a low profile without seeming secretive. How to stay in touch with base, and when to check in.
When things go wrong
Lost passports, medical emergencies, arrest, robbery and express kidnapping are all survivable when people know what to do and who to call.
For individuals and organisations
Sessions can be delivered to a whole team or one-to-one for a principal and their family, including students heading abroad.
Destination-specific risk is covered in geopolitical analysis, and our evacuation services stand behind every plan. Tell us where you are going.
