Travel books may tell you what to do on a trip but here is a guide on what NOT to do when travelling abroad-

. Fall in love with a married woman in Philippines

. Reveal you sexual preferences in Saudi Arabia

. Offer to help business men in Argentina transfer ‘Gold’

Because any of the above might just end up getting you BANGED UP ABROAD!

In the brand new season of Banged Up Abroad, Nat Geo will showcase first- hand accounts of survivors who escape their self inflicted doom in a foreign land. Starting August 20 at 10 pm, Banged up Abroad will tell shocking tales from countries around the world like Saudi Arabia, Spain, Argentina, Tokyo, Iraq and Columbia.

Watch how an innocent Iraqi soldier is forced to switch lives with the evil son of Saddam Hussain. Practically aping his identity, he escapes several assassination attempts until he finds himself in a situation where he has to choose between death and escape. In another scandalous scenario, a student nurse and crack addict makes a daring escape by hitchhiking and swimming across an international border only to turn herself over to authorities in England.

One of Nat Geo’s best rated series, Banged Up Abroad, sheds light on the spirit of survival when caught in situations caused by an error in judgment. Tune in to Nat Geo at 10 pm every night for a new real life misadventure filled with drama, emotions, love and action that promises to leave you stunned and dazed.
