While traveling, there are many safety precautions that all travelers should take, even if they're heading out to a nearby mountain for a camping trip, renting a seaside Airbnb, or choosing any other getaway.For advice on everything from what to pack to how to protect yourself, we spoke with doctors and travel experts to figure out the ultimate safety guide to getting on the road.

Don't go off the beaten path

While part of the joy of exploring nature is seeing new and beautiful views, if your road trip includes a hike, stay on the marked path.Resist the temptation to hike off-trail and in unfamiliar or unmarked areas.“You could get lost, injured or both,”podiatristDr Velimir Petkov said.

Pack layers

In the morning, when you set out on your adventure, your temperature will likely be comfortable.As the sun reaches its highest point, you'll start to sweat inside your car.And at night, certain areas experience a dramatic drop in degrees.That's why experts recommend packing everything you need to stay comfortable, including clothing for different temperatures.

Make sure you get enough sleep

While many people have difficulty sleeping, adequate rest ismandatorybefore a long car ride.“Do not drive while you are feeling sleepy.If you feel like you need a rest, pull over and take a 30-minute power nap,” Petkov recommended.He also noted that even if you doreapthe benefits of seven to eight hours of sleep, a little coffee can never hurt.

Pack a first-aid kit

If there is ever a time to pack a first-aid kit, it's now.Whether you scrape your knees or have an allergy attack, Petkov said that it could always come in handy, especially if you plan on camping, hiking or biking as part of your road trip.This kit should have all the hospital-quality supplies that you need to treat common injuries or illnesses, such as facial masks, bandages, dressings, irrigation syringes (注射器) and so on.

Protect your skin

You may not consider sun exposure while sitting in the car, but the rays can seep through open windows and cause you to burn—and UVA rays, which cause signs of premature aging, can go right through window glass.And mosquitoes are also drawn when we're outdoors at night.That's why Bahar Schmidt, the founder of Eluxit Travel Agency, recommends going the extra mile to protect our skin with sunscreen and bug repellent (驱虫剂) alike.
