When you are a traveler, solo trips are a rise that you don't wanna miss. Solo trips are so fun when done right. the super flexibility, not planning your schedule with other people, not waking up early so you don't miss the bus.
But when you are a solo female traveler, you need to be careful about so many things. If you are traveling alone to any destination without any guide or your girl gang, you probably have been paranoid about attracting unwanted attention or tiny slip-ups that can land you in any trouble.
In case you are planning to travel to a place, only in your own delightful company, here are a few things that you need to keep in mind to enjoy your travel to the fullest and be safe on your journey.
-
Pack light. Keeping your carry bags small will be an idea to travel, but avoid insolvencies and unsolicited conversations.
-
Don't make unplanned visits to anyplace. keep a fair idea of places you wanna go, and see the road map to and from the place to your hotel.
-
Walk confidently. If you are constantly looking at your map and asking people about direction, you are most likely to invite unwanted attention. Never less, don't be afraid to ask for help from local shops if you are in need of assistance.
-
Write a journal, and keep not everything you need to remember. not down your address, the place you need to visit, your room number, expenses, where you have kept your valuables, and everything else. Also, keep the journal safe.
-
Don't over-share with people you meet. you are more likely to be identified as a traveler and this can lead you to some trouble. even being wise with your social media posting too. do not mark your location, hotel, and other information while you are staying at the hotel.
-
Don't sare ride with people in cabs.
-
Don't over drink, keep drinks within the limit.
-
Keep an open mind. Being alert does not mean being on high alert all the time, sometimes people tend to make casual conversation only. Being paranoid will only ruin your trip.
-
Research before taking the plan, especially about the place, weather, currency exchange rate, common food habits, and customs and traditions.
-
Trust your instincts
-
Do not wear earbuds while in public, this can lower your expenses and alertness.
-
Dress appropriately. research about what type of clothes would be good to go, and act accordingly.
These few tips can help you enjoy your trip. Stay safe! enjoy your travels!
