To Do List of Solo Female traveler!

Being solo female traveler bring excitement & confidence.

I love to travel alone! Even though I have many groups, close friends to accompany. It is inevitable for all of us to travel alone at some point of time. The kind of confidence it gives, it changes your over-all personality, impacts positively.

We as working women need these small journey of self-discovery, a little self-contemplation &introspection to bring out the best in our professional as well as personal life.

Saying of travelling alone: Courage is not the Necessity, However Caution is. Therefore from a enthusiastic young traveler to her sisters across the world here are few tips:

Because Courage is not the Necessity, Caution is.

Create a Handbook:

* Just Reading about your upcoming destination won’t help. Time is for some real research~

Email genuine locals who blog. Learn the geopolitics & religions; it add to our general awareness. Especially in terms of clothing, some destinations could be really conservative. I would recommend try to learn from locals via email; how authentic is the information available with you.

Also, I feel interactions between women and men differ; this also require adjustments as we travel.

It will also give you a fair idea of food & cuisine; you will not order something you don’t want on your platter!

Learn about current climatic condition is an additional cookie.

My safety first!

-Find ways to involve the people in this new place in your safety 

Do learn from your hotel’s Managerial staff about those certain risky areas in the city and go out of your way to make sure you arrive hotel each evening.

Usually family groups are safe to ask for address or help. When feel alone or lost try to stick with some tourist groups or decent locals & ask them if you can join them. Always carry pepper spray, Iron rod or an umbrella along with safety whistle, keep them in the most easily accessible side of your bag.

Stay aware about your surroundings:

While walking down the street, be cautious of your belongings; avoid lanes & lonesome areas. Try to find the roads which have traffic on-going or start whistling. Have your drinks in the same hotel where you are staying (just don't ever get sloshed when I'm solo). This is a personal choice!

Carry travel insurance:

Biggest threat is traffic accidents; it is advisable to carry a travel insurance every time you leave the country.

Always take a cab when lost or unsure where to go; take the closest 24/7 Stores or hotel; so you're not in risky areas after dark.

So gear up ladies! Time for a little Adventure… and lot of travel

Stay Safe & Discover the New You!
