As a travel blogger, I always receive emails from my readers about their safety when traveling alone or even with a companion.
I guess we’ve all heard these lines:
-
The world is not a nice place.
-
This country is not safe.
-
You can be a target for the locals.
Well, to hell with that!
Yes, there are people who have bad intentions, but believe me, the number is far less.
I have traveled to many countries and the places that have been classified as hostile are those where I have found the friendliest people.
Understand one thing, that there are certain situations that are not in our hands. So better ignore it.
So with these 06 travel tips, I’ll try to help you stay safe in foreign lands.
So let’s get started.
-
Courtesy: Courtesy and a smiling face is one of the best things a traveler like you can do. Anywhere in the world, if you keep a smiling face and are courteous, most difficult situations can be dealt with.
-
Say No: Always keep one thing in mind; if you smell something fishy, say ‘No’. Like most times, your gut feelings have an idea of what’s coming up. For example, if someone is trying to be friends with you and you don’t feel good about it, just say “No” politely.
-
Do not travel overnight: Yes, this is another point that you should always keep in mind if you are traveling alone. If you are traveling from point A to point B, it is always suggested to cover the distance during the morning.
-
Scam Awareness – Before visiting any country, be it Britain, India, Malaysia, Russia or any other country, you should educate yourself about the various scams other travelers are dealing with. Doing homework is a must for anyone. So try to do your research. It will surely help you understand what to do and what not to do when you are facing the same problem.
-
Appropriate Dress: In some cultures, people prefer to dress modestly when visiting churches, mosques, temples, and other religious places. Also, if you have tattoos, try covering it up, as not everyone likes it. So always try to cover your body and not show your skin in some countries.
-
Cabin Safety: Always try to take your belongings with you in the back seat so that if you need to jump out of the cab, you can do so without a second thought. Next, always carry the taxi number with you, so that in any mishap you can share the number with the police or those close to you.
So here were my 06 travel tips for solo female travelers. I hope you liked it.
