The fear of being harassed or robbed for travel has never been one of my concerns. I fear many things, but for some reason I've never been afraid of being alone abroad. As long as you are careful, you will be fine. That's my mantra. And I'm glad I can say I've never experienced something bad to this day. I hope I can keep saying that and I can never have a bad experience while traveling.
While being dangerous was never a personal matter, I can imagine that this same particular thing is the reason that keeps many girls to travel solo. I can also imagine that the same reason is why your boyfriend, girlfriend or parents do not want you to go. - Reflection on the risks
I've never known anything wrong myself, but I know a thing or two about prevention. I mean, when you use common sense you halfway, but lets face: the risk of being harassed are larger when traveling solo as when traveling with someone. Thus, some additional safety measures are never out of order. Today I wanted to write all my boards down, because if you follow these tips, you will be safe too. I promise you
Wear a helmet if you do not want to be disturbed -. Most people who are looking for some as tourists probably skip those that seem out of reach. And that includes tourists wearing helmets. So feel free to wear your headphones if you do not want to be disturbed
Walk, ignore and be clear -. When someone comes after you try to continue buying something or just right after you're bored, you should just walk. Do not listen to what they have to say and simply ignore. If that does not work be clear and say no. Why you should not immediately say no? Some people respond better to be ignored than being shouted "No!" In. Just say
Always book a cab to a reputable company -. And with this I mean that you should not jump on the back of each scooter or rear of each car you come across. Book a taxi at the frontdesk of your hotel or at a booth at the airport. all taxi drivers are not as good as you want them to be, and choosing to respectable taxi companies that you are one step closer to happen, except to.
Choose to wear a backpack or a cross body bag - you know how easy it is to steal a purse from you? Easy enough, I'll tell you. Make sure you always wear a backpack or a bag mortuary cross. Also make sure that it can close properly and is not easy to open without realizing
Keep an eye on your bag -. When you're at dinner, try on clothes in a local store or when you are in a different situation, you must put your bag on the floor: always keep it closed, safe and close to you. Do not make it easy for the thieves to steal
Do not flash your valuables around -. Do not wave your money around, do not wear too much jewelery and expensive looking not walk around with your GoPro attached to your head, your cell phone in one hand and your SRL in the other. Better still, do not bring too much with you. The less you CARY least you can lose
not drunk -. Or at least, not drunk alone. Obviously you can get drunk if you want ;-). Get drunk only ways to get into trouble. You are probably the easiest imaginable target as drunk tourist. Finally: certainly not walking alone to your hotel when you are drunk
Do not walk alone late at night - .. Speaking of walking drunk at your hotel. Just do not walk alone in your hotel when it is late at night or in the middle of the night. Take a taxi or wait for someone to go with you. If your hotel is in one of the busiest roads or street, you can take the risk, -.)
Be careful what you drink - Do not lose not your drink on the view when you are in a bar. This may sound paranoid, but you would not be the first person to get high
Do not dress cause -. As much as I would like to say that you should wear what the hell you want because you should be able to do, I'll advise you otherwise. Unfortunately, many men think of you as an easy target if you dress provoke you so just be careful with what
Read in culture before leaving - Talk vinaigrette cause: . Each country has a different definition of the product. And if you do not want to offend anyone (which also means that the chances of being harassed are higher), you have to respect the culture of where you are going. And for that to happen, you must read in it. Of course, clothing is just one aspect of culture -. There are many other things you can read in
Make sure you have copies of all the data of your trip - Meaning passport, credit card, your insurance card and driver's license. You should actually carry with you at all times. You never know when you might need. Keep them in a place where you can access all time (some online storage space that is trustworthy for example). Have copies, it is much easier for the police, your bank or the embassy to report what is missing and to hold on to emergency solutions.
Consult receiving your hotel - most hotels have signs located throughout their hotel every time there is something you should be careful as a tourist. You can of course also always ask them for advice
Blend in -. People must not know that you are a tourist so do not act like one. Of course, you can take pictures and go to tourist places, but do not walk around all day looking like you are lost and do not walk with your card clutched in your hands. Download maps on your mobile phone (that do not require Internet) and use your navigation if you are lost
Let people at home know what your plans -. Not necessarily by Facebook if you do not want to go home to see your house completely broken. But just let friends or relatives know with a message that you are or where you are staying
Go on tours -. If you do not feel safe or do not want to be alone, you can always book tours rather than walking on your own. If you want to go out and you are on your own, I suggest you join a pubcrawl. You're going the right bar, you're in a group and your guide knows what happens. Much safer that way
Bring an external mobile phone charger - Just in case you really need to find your way back to your hotel, wish someone a message or something like that: always make sure your cell phone is charged and you can charge it whenever necessary
trust your judgment -. Feel like you've stepped into a bad situation or a strange street? Then get the hell out! Always trust your best judgment and follow your gut.
