Your safety is paramount. And you should always see it as a priority, no matter if you’re on the streets, in a very public and crowded place, or even somewhere where you tend to let down your guard. Like in a hotel room.
Internet content creator Allie Lovegood, who goes by the username Lovegood_allie on TikTok, uploaded a series of videos where she shares safety tips to keep in mind while traveling. According to the TikToker, hotel rooms aren’t as safe as you might think, so she pointed out a few things to note, including how to check if a mirror is two-way and what to do if your door only has a simple latch lock.

Earlier, I had a chat about staying safe with Emily May, the Co-Founder and Executive Director at ‘Hollaback!’, an organization aiming to end harassment in all of its forms. According to Emily, rebuilding your sense of safety after being the victim of harassment in your local area is far from easy.
“One thing that can help you build a sense of safety is community. Take the time to get to know the good folks in your neighborhood and build positive relationships with not just your neighbors, but the people who deliver the mail, the trash folks, the guy that mows your neighbor’s lawn, etc.”
She continued: “The more people you know, the more people will have your back if something happens again. Knowing this can increase your sense of safety and belonging in your community,” May said.
May added that harassment can take place anywhere: in the street, the supermarket, and even social media.
“At its core is a power dynamic that constantly reminds historically subordinated groups of our vulnerability to assault in public spaces,” May explained. “Street harassment can happen to anyone, but disproportionately punishes women, girls, LGBTQ+ people, and other marginalized groups for being themselves in the world.”
Here’s what some TikTok users had to say after they watched the video about safety
