Women have a plethora of responsibilities and they have proved their mettle by managing everything beautifully. With the growing self confidence, most women seek to travel alone, be it leisure or business. However they do have to take some extra measures to ensure their safety. Here are some tips you may find useful while travelling alone.

• Always make sure that you have your tickets booked in advance, so you don’t have to bear any unnecessary hassles.

• If going to a foreign country, have an idea about their customs. So that your clothes do not make you stand out in the crowd.

• While renting a car, do not make it obvious that you are a foreigner. Do not pull over at a deserted place.

• Try to make it look as if you are not travelling alone. Don’t make it obvious.

• Loose the big purse you like to carry, it attracts too much attention. Instead use wallets which are easier to hide and carry.

• If your budget allows try staying in luxury hotels, such hotels ensure your safety. They also have reliable pick and drop facilities.

• Try to travel light and you will never have to ask some stranger to help you with your luggage.

• While sitting in a restaurant or a bar if you do not wish to have company keep your coat or bag on the other chair so that people think that you are waiting for someone.

• The hotel concierge is the best person to ask about the new place. He will have your reservations in the best of restaurants and will also let you know the places you shouldn’t be going to.

Stay smart. Stay safe!!
