8 safety tips for female travelers
As a woman traveling alone ( Note : This is a guest post by Brooke Schoenman I. am still very much a nomadic male!) can bring a degree of concern that not be the case otherwise. Friends are afraid family members can take care of, you can also to take care of your security. To make your trip to make the best and safest it can be, here are 8 tips each female travelers should not forget:
Get Fit . Hiking with a large backpack on his back to need a lot of energy. Start an exercise regimen before they head out on the road; it not only improves the quality of your trip as you will be able to do more without getting tired, but also improves the chances of attackers to fend off. Exercise while on the road to. Travelling is not the healthiest lifestyle and staying fit on the road to feel a long way better to go and with more energy.
Fake Ring. I have learned my lesson definitely unaccompanied woman. Men in some countries are very forward and over, especially if you are not officially married. Lie. Do what you can to make them think differently, even if that includes a false ring tightening and runs over to the first man you see in a store nearby. Pretending to be married, are some of the weirdos keep away.
Dress Down . There is nothing to gain as a scantily clad female a man's attention. We know that it is fun to look our best and put our best features forward, but you need to consider your situation and the standards before your wardrobe choice, even for one night. There is nothing worse than standing in a place not familiar your tourist feet.
Warning Avert . Just like timpani, it is best to avoid all measures that will draw more attention to you. These include being loud, wearing expensive jewelry, too much money and showing off flashes to expensive electronics in public. Perform one of these scream target for you? As a female traveler, you do not want to bring too much attention to you, so that you gain a few unruly characters.
Stay Alert . I'm not saying that you should be your entire trip on the spy mode, but it's a good idea to be aware of your belongings and your surroundings. If someone stops on the road, check to make sure that they are not a distraction for sneaky pickpockets. When you used your bags at the bus stop, then keep all interconnected and preferably also you at all times. People prey on single women often more than they men.
Do not Drink on . can drink one of the best ways to connect with locals and other travelers alike, but you can leave a little bit on the vulnerable side to overdo it. A good rule of thumb is to take in moderation, sometimes easier said than done. Know your limits, and do not try pressured into imbibing more than you should. In addition, remember not to take drinks from strangers- you never know what might be in it!
group in . Do your best to stay with the other, especially in the evening. Make it a goal to have at least one other person with you when you need to go somewhere. Sure, it could use a little coercion take a fellow hostel with colleagues to get on the journey, but do not take it that "foreign girl walking alone" target from the back.
Stay confident. You are more likely to get taken advantage of, if you look like someone who is not sure himself. This is another reason why I self-defense classes suggest taking before backpack because they offer you the tools and confidence to repel the attackers. On a less violent scale, confidence can you prevent getting pulled in certain situations the table. Additionally, I have found that a confident atmosphere you can make it appear less like a tourist and less like a target.
I always think might have that would travel anywhere and should be no different for men and women, but a world of cultural differences has led me to understand the truth, is far from ideal , It's different for women. We need to guard more, but that does not mean that we have gone to hide either. Some common sense goes along way. Remember, these 8 tips above and you will be a safe and successful female traveler.
