Research your destination before you go. The United States issues travel warnings to area that are hostile toward Americans. You can avoid being raped, tortured or kidnapped by avoiding trouble areas during Spring Break. Internet searches can keep you from dressing inappropriately and can make you aware of local problems like gang rape.
Travel in numbers. You can avoid a predator by making sure you aren't alone. Don't take the elevator or stairs by yourself in unfamiliar areas. Go and leave with friends if you go to a Spring Break party. Be cautious of accepting rides from strangers and don't tell any new friends where you're staying.
Drink safely and know when you need to stop drinking alcohol. You can avoid date rape drugs by getting your own drinks and keeping your drink with you at all times. When possible, get drinks that are sealed or get them directly from the bartender.
Go on a mission trip to do good work on your break. Many colleges and churches offer mission trips during Spring Break. You have less chance being raped if you are being modest and with a group of individuals who aren't partying.
Engage in sex only if you plan on it, making sure you use caution and protection. Don't engage in foreplay unless you plan on having intercourse, and say no whenever things get uncomfortable. Trust your instincts; if a person gives you a bad vibe, find someone else.
Take self-defense classes. Knowing how to defend yourself can help you escape trouble. You can carry mace or pepper spray, just be careful not to spray it in the wind or you might hurt yourself.
