On joining the Peace Corps volunteers are expected to adopt a culturally appropriate lifestyle that will promote their safety and the people around them. This can include a broad spectrum of life choices such as clothing, living arrangements, entertainment and even the company you keep.
This sentiment is not just applicable to people living in foreign countries. When relocating to a new city, neighbourhood or even when shopping in a different area, you should take note of the local ways and adapt accordingly.
Relocating from a rural to an urban area can be somewhat of a culture shock in regards to safety measures. Talking to the neighbours is a good way to get a sense of the safety but it is always advisable to consult an accredited security company.
