Given a chance, most women won’t even bat their eyelids before setting out to explore the world on their own. The latter however, can be quite a hostile place and there’s no knowing the kind of danger that’s lurking round the corner. This is why; every woman needs to have her common-sense guide within reach, offering a travel check-list of sorts, every time she gets into one of her exploratory moods!

  • Awareness is the key to a safe and successful trip and this is especially true for a solo woman traveller. It is always a good thing to observe other women when walking in the town center or on public transport systems. It helps to cut down on overtly indicative behaviour.
  • Camera hung from the neck, purse/bag dangled absentmindedly from the shoulder due to the obvious excitement of being at an exotic location, etc. are tell-tale signs that are a dead giveaway of a person being a tourist. Needless to say, such behaviour should be avoided.
  • Clothing is another area where there’s scope for improvement. Always research the generic dress code of a particular place before visiting. This helps avoiding cultural snafus, keeps unwarranted attention at bay and also improves chances of getting a good bargain while shopping. After-all, someone dressed like a local might just be taken for an expat resident rather than a tourist.
  • Neutral colours work best. They not only attract lesser attention, but also reduce the chances of being singled out by unscrupulous merchants and other less desirable elements of society.
  • Backpacks and bulky kit bags that restrict ones mobility too should be avoided. Use a handy-sized bag that will hold the bare essentials and try carrying along a shopping bag from the local supermarket.
