I get a lot of questions about how safe is it for a woman to travel alone, especially when the are traveling overseas. The answer – just as safe as you want to make it. The best advice I can give is that you should never do – or go – anywhere you would not when you were in your own hometown. Many women do find it more interesting to travel with another woman so there will be a little companionship and someone to share experiences with. |
|
| There are a few things you can do to be a little safer when you are traveling such as using your first initial rather than your name when you are making reservations and things, always appear to be very sure of yourself and be positive in your dealings with others, stay with groups of people and don’t let yourself stand out be being the only person in a particular place, and just making sure you are not doing anything to attract undue attention. |
Here are a few links you may want to check out and, if you have specific questions, feel free to contact me by e-mail.
