Solo-Women-Travel

Traveling is a great experience.   It is an opportunity to learn new things; however, there may  be times when you either chose or required to be alone.  Here are some tips to consider.

Always ensure that you advised a friend or a relative about your whereabouts. Bring a phone that you can use for dialing local, long distance as well as emergency numbers.  Make sure that there is someone whom you call, text or send an email to especially when you are going from one place to another.

As much as possible, prefer reaching your destination during daytime. You can have  more options for better transportation, hotel and other services during daytime. If  in case you arrive during the night, proceed with your plans in the morning.

Even you don’t  know where you are exactly going, don’t be obvious.  That can be done by walking confidently and with eyes forward.

Take note of landmarks.  If you are going out from the hotel where you are staying, make sure to bring the business card of the hotel.  If possible, take pictures of the surrounding.

Since you are traveling alone in a strange place , part of your safety depends on kind strangers whom you deal with.  Drivers play an important role in your journey. If you feel good and secure from a driver, ask for his card.  Always follow your instinct.

Remember to dress appropriately and accordingly especially to certain places where women are following certain dress code.  Refrain from exposing body parts to avoid offending people around you.

Control or limit alcohol or liquor intake for this might lead you to a dangerous situation.

Being alone might lead to being more approachable especially to men.  Refrain from having direct eye contact with them for they might misinterpret it and take advantage of you.

Having someone to be with is not always possible.  That is why, women need to be wiser while enjoying traveling alone.   It will always be great coming back home safe and sound.
