Women should not be afraid to travel alone
It's dangerous. How will you get there? Where will you stay? Of itself? But, you're a girls !
If you are a woman and have an interest in traveling, then you've probably heard these things before. I can not tell you the number of times I've ever had someone in my travels-which criticize I go as I go, or the fact that I go myself. I am currently on a round the world trip, and I can assure you that solo female travel is an amazing experience and one that you should not miss because of fear and indecision. Here are five reasons, it is safe to travel alone:
The world is small
Also strange, foreign countries usually have a certain connection to your home country .. Whether a friend of a friend who lives there, or you have a common interest with the local population, you will find links wherever you go. If you are planning your first trip, I do not recommend the middle of a war zone or on a remote island in the Pacific position where you can not speak the language. Look for a place that you can refer to if it. By the people or culture It can help you facilitate this lifestyle.
The information is out there.
There are endless resources for a holiday or a longer trip plan. These days, you can get advice from guidebooks, travel forums, blogs, Twitter and other travelers. If you do ahead of time of the research, you will feel more confident about the places you travel. I always look at issues of safety, cost and culture before I go. to explore your intended destination can answer any questions you may have about your chosen destination, and probably dispel any concerns holding you back.
It is not as dangerous as they say.
When I look back on the days when the people have told me, "Do not go there!" or "You could die!" it is mainly advising people who have never been to those places and never done a research on them. The press is enormously influential. I can not tell you how many times I have read international press coverage that is simply wrong to you. You need to find trusted sources and advice from people who know what they are talking about. I once mentioned to my parents that I had to go to Rwanda plans. My anxious father said to me... "You Will not" He was obviously concerned about the turbulent past of Rwanda Had he done his research, he would have known that Rwanda is the safest country in East Africa as soon as he researched it, I never heard again a word about it. The crime rate in your garden can be as objective as bad, you are headed to, if not worse.
you're never really alone.
to have opted for a trip to go solo, but you are afraid to feel lonely. I had my doubts before setting out on this trip. I spent the first 150 days on the road of "me", but really, I spent only about three of these days all alone. I have so many people encountered along the way. Even with only little effort, you will meet people on your journeys. Whether sitting by your board, sightseeing or in a cafe, you will be surprised how a bit of small talk is to flashy lead to new travel companions and lasting friendships. If you are concerned, you see hostels or guesthouses in advance. Make plans to participate in day trips, where you will meet other like-minded travelers.
Take all usual precautions.
Perhaps you know someone that in Brazil, pickpocketed in Italy, or robbed robbed in South Africa. This can happen anywhere, and I follow only some common sense. I'm not alone in most cities at night, I take a reliable taxi service instead of the public bus occasionally and I've been known to be a bit more to pay for the property, which has a 24-hour security if necessary. Sometimes people are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Often they were negligent or should have been better prepared. I love a cheap hostel, I enjoy local bus rides, and who does not love to go for a good time at night? But when my safety is involved, I avoid all these things. If you have done your research, then to take precautions that reflect the overall security situation. I take precautions.
If you do not go, you will be missed in many amazing places and incredible experiences. Many of our fears about traveling as a female, are unfounded if we get to him. With a little planning and a taste for adventure, you can go on your dream vacation and let these fears and concerns behind, even if you are a girl!
