Things to know before Travelling Alone!

Travelling is one of the great pastimes but when we usually travel we think of travelling in groups. We think, we plan but end up being alone and plan gets dropped due to the busy schedule of our friends. But next time it happens you don’t have to worry. Travelling alone can be a great pastime. You get to know yourself you discover your other side along with the world. Travelling doesn’t needs to be a task that hovers all over your mind. When you travel, travel as a free soul which doesn’t long for any attachments except “The Mother Nature” ! Travelling Lonesome can be a cool idea. Some safety concerns come to mind but if you prepare well then there’s no need to worry.

Tips for Travelling Alone :

  1. Do not ignore your gut instincts. Your mantra should always be “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
  2. You should call your at-home contacts every day. 
  3. All of your hotel and travel lodging accommodations should be booked in advance so that your contacts will know where you’re staying on any given day. Check online for reviews and only book in hotels with really good reviews on safety and quality. If at any instance you feel that you’re not safe, ask to be booked in another room or transfer accommodations entirely. You may lose your reservation deposit but that’s a small price to pay for your safety.
  4. As much as possible you shouldn’t bring valuables with you. But if you do, inquire if the place you’re staying in has a safe that you can use. Another option is to buy security packs like money belts where you can stash your valuables within your person without anyone knowing about it.
  5. Be friendly with locals including the staff of hotels and restaurants. Befriend them, if possible they will try to help you more and give you important information on not just little-known places that will interest you but also places that you should avoid.
