Traveling alone comes with a lot of unknowns and challenges, and for women, those unknowns are faced with the fear of something bad happening to them.
As a result, the following tips will help you have a safer and more satisfying solo travel experience:
Research before you go
First and foremost, conduct thorough research. Before visiting a country or place, learn everything you can about it.
Solo female travelers understand how important it is to thoroughly research a destination to understand the potential dangers.
Once you've identified them, you can decide how to overcome them.
As a solo female traveler, you should ask other solo female travelers about their experiences visiting a country or place.
Be aware of your surroundings
Always stay alert and aware of your surroundings. If you're walking alone, especially late at night, avoid listening to music with headphones or looking down at your phone.
If you're in a crowded area or taking public transportation, keep an eye on the people around you and keep a tight grip on your personal belongings.
Keep your documentation safe
If you are thinking of visiting a country, it is important to keep your documentation secure and to have a backup plan in case your passport is stolen.
Make copies of everything important, such as your passport, driver's license, all of your reservations, and your travel insurance card, and keep them separate from the originals.
This will come in handy if you need to report them stolen.
Leave your fancy jewelry behind
While it's fun to show off your favorite bling, eye-catching jewelry or watches may attract unwanted attention.
If you want to wear jewelry, bring some costume jewelry with you or, better yet, bring some local, relatively inexpensive jewelry with you.
This approach will not only help you blend in but will also make you appear less of a target.
Stay connected
You don't have to call/text/email/post on social media every hour of every day while traveling, but it's important to stay in touch with some family or friends back home so people know where you are and that you're safe.
If you have access to the internet, you can avoid getting lost, not being able to find help if something bad happens to you, ordering a cab, being left without your documentation, and so on.
