Tips to stay safe?

(USA)

Hi all! When it comes to in-person SW, I tend to be very anxious... and I know many of you are too. I don't have a consistent place to host, so going to the client is kind of the only option. All these thoughts kind of race through my head of what would happen if I ever took "the wrong client", which is terrifying. I already have done the thing where I location share with a close friend so they can keep tabs on me. Aside from that, does anyone more experienced have advice on how to stay safe, or maybe FEEL less anxious about it?
