Having a friend whom you can trust in the session you’re hosting is a good idea so that you and your friend can watch each other’s back if something goes wrong.
Avoid inviting a complete stranger to your session. If you do invite a complete stranger, having a video call beforehand or meeting him outside of your building, as opposed to letting him directly get into your door, is strongly suggested.
Understand the risk of having your valuables getting stolen. Ensure your valuables are safely hidden in a locked safe or room.
