Safety comes first
If you are planning for a solo trip make sure your first priority is your own safety especially if you are travelling all by yourself as theft and harassment are two big concerns for women these days. Your safety is in your hand so be prepared, be self-reliant and don’t depend on strangers. Always carry basic things while you are travelling like a map, a guide book, packed food, a water bottle and a first aid box etc.
Be friendly & confident
When you travel its obvious everyone is stranger to you until and unless you make any effort for an interaction, through this you might get to know an awesome traveler or a person who prefers to travel aimlessly. If you feel uncomfortable during the interaction just walk away. It’s totally okay to be rude when safety is concerned. But at the same time there are certain woman traveler groups who arrange travel trips for women groups to add more fun and make your journey more enjoyable and exciting .
