Traveling with someone teaches us a lot about life and travelling alone fills us with strength and confidence. While foreign women have been travelling alone for decades, Indian women have started enjoying this freedom in the last few years. What are the reasons responsible for ‘solo travel’ and what things to keep in mind while travelling alone, Shashwati tells us.
Remember these five things
1 Get all the information about the place you want to visit from the internet. Do everything from ticket to hotel booking in advance. Plan your trip in such a way that you can reach there before evening.
3 Be confident during the journey. Only on the basis of your confidence will you be able to face any challenging situation during the journey. If you have negative feelings about any person/place, then stay away from them.
5 During the journey, keep a torch, pepper spray, sanitary napkin, power bank, phone charger, snacks and drinking water in your handbag. Apart from all this, keep cash with you, it will be useful in case of emergency.
2 Before leaving for the journey, share the information related to that journey with your people. Share the name and contact number of the hotel where you are going to stay with your family members. This information will be useful when you get stuck in trouble.
4 Traveling by public transport is not only easy but also safe. Also, when you are surrounded by people, it will become easier for you to get out of uncomfortable situations.
