Many people baulk at the idea of solo or women traveller<\/strong>, more so if it\u2019s a women travelling alone.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s not safe.\u2019, \u2018What\u2019ll you do all the time?\u2019, \u2018What if you get into trouble or fall sick?\u2019 These are just some of the questions that come up. However, there are countless women, across age groups, who travel alone and who love every moment of it.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been thinking about taking the big leap (women or not), there are a few things to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

1. Choose your destination carefully if you are a\u00a0solo or women traveller<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It might be a book or a movie that triggered the desire to travel to a particular destination. But dig deeper and find more reasons to go.<\/p>\n

\"Destination-<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 <\/strong>Buy forex online<\/h2>\n

Once you know you\u2019re travelling, the next thing you do is buy forex online<\/strong><\/a> and get a prepaid travel card, like a Thomas Cook forex card. You will get it cheaper and if you book well in advance (up to 60 days before you travel), you can check live currency rates and buy it at a lower rate. In fact, if you continue to check live currency rates, and the rate goes up, you can even sell forex online to recover some of your costs.<\/p>\n

3 Plan the first night<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Plan the first night of every destination carefully. Make sure you reach well during day hours so you do not waste time looking for the place. And also have enough time to find alternative accommodation if the place makes you uncomfortable as you are the solo or women traveller<\/strong>. Your borderless prepaid card is accepted everywhere, and you can quickly swipe it at your new hotel.<\/p>\n

4 Pack light<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The less you carry the easier you can travel, and you will also save on excess baggage costs. Put together a wardrobe that has some base colours, a few extras for contrast and a dash of bright colour. Carry comfortable shoes that look pretty too. You can always use your one currency card to pick up something local and unique.<\/p>\n

\"Packing-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5 Picture the basics only<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While you need to plan your holiday in detail, keep an open mind for new experiences. Just make sure your basics of travel, flight, accommodation, travel insurance policy, etc. are taken care of. This also includes arranging for your borderless prepaid card<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

6 Meal times don\u2019t have to be lonely<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to sit alone at meal times. You can find local cooking classes or food-themed day tours that you can easily pay for with your one currency card. Or simply befriend any other single traveller and invite them over to your table. Unless, of course, you prefer the solitude.<\/p>\n

\"Meals-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7 Meet other travellers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Build friendships with other solo or women traveller<\/strong>. Staying at a hostel is an excellent way to connect with new people. You can learn from their experiences and pick up handy travel tips from them too.<\/p>\n

\"solo<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8 Keep your accommodation to yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You do not need to disclose where you\u2019re staying to anyone, however friendly they might appear to be. It is your safe haven’t. If they insist, be vague.<\/p>\n

9 Keep your documents, cards and cash safe<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Take utmost care of your passport, travel insurance policy, and your travel prepaid card. Always carry backup copies and keep some with a trusted source back home. The good thing about your prepaid travel card is that in the event you lose it, you can get a replacement very quickly. If you are using a Thomas Cook forex <\/strong><\/a>card, you can get a replacement on the same day and also $500 as an emergency fund.<\/p>\n
