Comments (0) Featured, Travel Buzz

The world is increasingly becoming a woman’s place to be. From reaching the moon and diving deep in the oceans to exploring the extreme corners of the world, there is nothing that a woman can’t do equal or better than a man. While we want you to breathe easy while travelling, a little caution never hurt anyone. So, here is our one cent on making travelling easier for solo woman travellers.

Here are some quick and useful tips that might come in handy for women on solo exploration!

1) Always research beforehand: If you are planning a trip to some new place, make sure you are well-informed about the strange land that you are travelling to. Make a list of places you want to visit and have the addresses in a notebook. That, because you can’t always rely on your cell phone or internet connection all the time.

2) Know where you are staying: People usually ignore the importance of staying at a good place just to save a few bucks. Yet, our word is that it is always good to spend a few extra dimes on good hotels because they are safe.

3) Keep your documents safe: It is imperative to keep your travel and other documents safely. Do not carry them along every time you go out of the hotel. Always keep one ID card with you though, just in case.

4) Carry protection: Make sure your handbag is equipped with a pepper spray or a tiny Swiss knife or any such self protection weapons because these things might come handy.

5) Avoid costly jewellery/accessories: Avoid wearing precious jewellery and accessories while travelling alone in a new city. These things mostly invite unwanted glares and attention.

7) Dress like a local: When you are in a new place, try blending in with the locals by dressing up like them. Trust us, it helps a lot.

8) Choose transport with women-only spaces: If you are travelling in a bus or metro, try being in the compartment reserved for women only. You’ll feel more comfortable and easy.

9) Learn to say ‘NO’: Now, this is very important. As a traveller, you’ll meet new people and make plans that include a lot of things, so learn to say ‘No’ and do not feel guilty about it. You need not to trust anyone in just one meeting. And always remember, you are there to explore a new place and not to please people!

10) Do not panic, if you get lost: It is okay to get lost at a strange new place. Do not panic and do not let others know about it too. Calm down, find a café or a restaurant, sit there and relax. Check the map or your phone or talk to the manager of the place and take their guidance.

If you follow these few tips, you are safe to conquer the world all alone!
