Good to know
- Stay calm, say where you are as clearly as you can (a landmark helps), and what has happened.
- For medical problems after you get home, see a doctor and mention where you travelled.
- Find your embassy's address with the embassy finder.
- Register your trip with your own government's traveller programme if it has one, so your embassy can reach you in an emergency.
