In this post, I will share what to know when traveling alone which are important female safety tips for travelers that have helped me, as a solo traveler, survive and kept me safe, healthy, and well-prepared on my solo trips to almost 30 countries I braved alone.

 

As a solo female traveler, it requires a lot of courage and preparation, as it can be challenging to be out there knowing you will be on your own and have to protect, provide, depend on, and be there for yourself. So, I hope that these tips I share will help solo female travelers learn what to note, avoid, bring, research, and do to travel safely and well-prepared.

Please note even if I have traveled to almost 40 countries and most of them are solo, I do not do ALL of these every time I travel as it depends on the destination I am traveling to, my travel itinerary, and the situations I encounter. I travel with my sisters and friends or travel locally here in the United States, so some of the tips may not necessarily apply.  However, it’s always a good idea to take note of helpful female safety tips and have these tips in the back of your mind depending on your travel plans, destinations, and possible issues/encounters that you want to avoid that may occur.

Here are female safety tips and ways to prepare for safety and take care of your well-being before and during your solo trips

Female Safety Tips For Solo Travelers

This is the first things first = Safety

 

3. Share your live location on the Find My app to trusted family and best friends

Ensure your family knows where you are. I appreciate how this helps my family know where I am and updates my location in real time. My sister tracks me through this app when I’m flying overseas and updates my parents when I forget to update them.

4. Send copies of all your travel documents on email or WhatsApp to trusted family and friends

Never forget to do this! Send all your booked flights, transportation, hotels, itinerary, activities, travel insurance, andemergency plan including the number of person/company picking you up and number of your hotels.

5. Know the emergency numbers of your destinations

Search your destination emergency number, save it on your phone, write it down on a post-it/paper, and place it in your wallet that you bring with you at all times

6. Never post real-time on social media when you’re traveling alone and never reveal your current location.

You’ll never know for safety purposes. For me, it’s been a habit to deactivate my social media account whenever I’m traveling solo. I want to “focus” on my travels. I enjoy my travel more when I can maximize my trip by using my time wisely and making the most out of it without wasted time, distractions, and safety issues by posting online.

Sometimes, I had to open my social media when other solo travelers I met wanted to be friends/connect, but if I had ever posted on social media I always posted weeks or more often months “after” every trip.

7. Always have a personal alarm keychain with an emergency light and spray for self-defense

Bring what works for you. Ensure it is acceptable at the destination you’re going to.I personally like the one with an emergency light on it as well so I can just carry/attach one keychain.

8. Download Google Translation and your destination language to access without wifi

This has been helpful especially when traveling to non-speaking English countries if you need to communicate with locals in smaller towns, when you get lost and need to ask for directions, and making reports to the police without wifi or cellular service.

9. Download Google Maps of the areas you’ll be traveling to in advance to be able to access offline

In case you get lost without wifi or have unreliable cellular service for the internet, this can be helpful as a backup.

10. Ask the hotel front desk for their business card and printed maps/brochure to use as backup

When I asked the concierge for travel advice on how to get to places and how to get back, he gave me the hotel business card with the address, number, and short map behind it. He told me to keep it in my bag and give it to the taxi driver taking me back to the hotel.

Some airports also have tourist information centers where you can grab free maps and tourist brochures for free.

11. Don’t be a target, walk with other people so others will NOT notice you’re traveling solo

I had to do this when I traveled alone at night several times and every time passing by or going to places I found suspicious during the day.

12. Join group tours (free walking tours, paid day tours, food tours, guided sightseeing tours/activities, group classes)

By booking with tour companies or having a tour guide, you will NOT be 100% traveling independently or travelingentirely solo but will be with other people as you explore places.  I normally mix my solo travels where there are both independent solo travel days and group tours on some days. When I do NOT have not much time to plan, I prefer joining group tours as a solo female traveler because I worry less about safety and less planning needed as I just follow the tour guide and the group. I also get to interact and meet other travelers then end up connecting and traveling with them.

13. Be prepared and brave how to handle assault, harassment, and being followed in case it happens (sharing my personal experiences and tips below)

Unfortunately, it happened to me in  Qatar, Israel, UAE, Mexico, Peru, Vietnam, Spain, Italy and USA (L.A)

No travel is perfect so something wrong can happen no matter how prepared, careful, polite, respectful, and modestly  dressed we are as we experience solo traveling as a woman

***What I did and how I responded = also my female safety tips based on my personal experiences that worked for me***

1. 1. I pretended I couldn’t speak English when unknown men and anyone suspicious approached/talked to me
   2. I had an “imaginary” boyfriend or husband response ready (if pretending I can’t speak English does NOT work)
      • I  wore a ring on some of my solo travels (unfortunately based on my experiences this doesn’t work sometimes, especially if they see you’re alone and often ask further “Why are you alone then?”. Iusually lie and say, “I am not alone, I just came here by myself to take a picture, but I am meeting my boyfriend (or in a tour group), sorry, but I have to go. We are supposed to meet up now at this time. I am already late. Bye“
   3. I made health issue excuses (having diarrhea, feeling sick, I’ve been sick, etc), ignored politely, but boldly, and then walked away (if can’t speak in English and have an imaginary partner  excuses DO NOT WORK)
   4. I pretended to take a picture/video of the scenery away from him while walking away slowly (signaling please leave me alone) and/or pretended I was talking to someone on my phone (this may have given him a clue that I was already talking to someone asking for help)
   5. When I was being followed in very touristy areas (no matter how many excuses I  made up and even after going and reporting to the police nothing happened), I looked for a nearby “paid” tour bus or paid “attraction/ place”  that requires buying a ticket to go inside (This was my way of escaping since the police couldn’t understand English, might be busy, ended up ignoring me) By taking paid tour bus and/or going inside a paid attraction,  I thought likely the person won’t follow because he has to pay. And it worked escaping and hopping as fast as I could onto the paid tour bus
   6. When I knew someone was following me I looked behind me a few times, I did NOT stop right at my hotel, but passed by it and bought something at a nearby store/shop and just stayed there where the staff were and asked for help. I waited until the guy eventually left the area and that’s the only time I walk back to my hotel.

Tip: “Not everyone and everything deserves a response” mindset

I didn’t do this bonus tip below, but I wish I did and could have prevented being followed by a random guy

1. When a man you don’t know approaches you and knows you speak English or a certain language, lie if you have to and (even better for your safety) just don’t say/answer that you’re from the place he is asking you are from because if you say yes and give him a response he will keep talking to you and may follow you because you responded to him. I had to learn this the hard way and based on my experience it’s better  “NOT” to say anything from the very beginning and just keep walking away and ignoring. PLEASE, LADIES, STAY SAFE and remember to have a “Not everyone and everything deserves a response” mindset

14. Research and be aware of common local and tourist scams in your destination. Never sacrifice safety to save money or get your money back

It’s better to be prepared and know how to avoid common scams you may encounter in your destination. However, it’s inevitable for a trip to be 100% perfectly safe and have no issues even if you’ve prepared and researched. Please be aware. Please be flexible and open to approaching certain situations in the best way possible when they happen. Neverargue and sacrifice your safety and emotional well-being while traveling away from home

You know what I’m talking about when you experience it yourself.

It’s ok to PAY MORE than to SACRIFICE your OWN SAFETY and mental/physical HEALTH

15. Never agree to buy anything from a street vendor who can’t speak basic English unless there is someone who can help translate and you don’t mind getting ripped off

Unfortunately, even if you are polite and kind, there are difficult people out there who are disrespectful and will try to rip you off whether it’s intentional or not (their business strategy).

Be careful, and make a wise decision –  either you choose NOT to buy from street vendors “alone” or choose to get ripped off intentionally to prevent escalating the situation as it’s NOT worth the emotional stress girl!

Travel at peace and worry-free by just letting them have that extra money

Even if I never argue and I have always been respectful while traveling, it’s inevitable to encounter crazy people that will make traveling difficult because of the language barrier and the fact you’re a female, and alone, it becomes more difficult.

Trust me I’ve been there, getting screamed at, feeling embarrassed and scared in public with many people around as a Vietnamese fruit vendor made a scene yelling at me is NOT worth experiencing just for that extra $2 or $5 change the vendor is NOT willing to give back. He says he’s giving me extra of this and that that’s why I don’t have any change (even if that’s not what I agreed on initially and don’t want to buy more/extra).  My advice?  Just accept, be thankful, and walk away to avoid emotional stress

The Danger of Solo Traveling

I later found out from locals, who helped me talk to that Vietnamese fruit vendor yelling at me, that he was crazy. I had a feeling that something was wrong with him because he suddenly started yelling at me as soon as I kindly asked for my change, but was also yelling and arguing at other men who were helping me communicate with him. He also followed me and threw a handful of Longan skin fruit in front of me on the floor where I was stepping on and looked at me with anger.

For full stories of my 9 “scary” experiences as a female solo traveler, are linked HERE.

16. Choose to get ripped off intentionally if that would keep you safe and save your mental health. It’s ok to let them keep that extra change

Learn from my mistakes, ladies, please.

It’s important to prioritize safety, but also your health, your mental health is important too!

If it’s just $1, $2 or $5 difference on change, just go ahead and let them have it. I had to learn this the hard way even if I NEVER argued and was politely interacting as a customer.

Choosing to get ripped off intentionally is better than having emotional travel stress/trauma.

I’d like to think of it as my way of helping them make a living by giving them that extra money instead of sacrificing my safety, mental health, and feelings of fear while traveling.

17. Read reviews before booking your accommodation and tours

I have always stayed at hotels in all of my solo travels for safety reasons. Except in Sydney, I chose to stay in a hostel for the first time since I wanted to experience it myself. However, I always read reviews FIRST before booking and would research and read specifically about the safety of the area and tours.

18. Book hotels with free shuttle service to and from the airport. Pay extra if you can for safety, saving time, and peace of mind

I have always stayed in hotels as a solo traveler (except in Sydney ). Before planning I make sure I research and book at newer hotels with complimentary shuttle service. This is typically my preference and what I tell my friends and family when traveling. So, no need to arrange,  book and worry about transportation upon arriving and/or leaving the destination.

19. Check your hotel or accommodations for broken windows, locks, sheer curtains, holes, and extra doors. Neveragree to stay in a connecting room at hotels

You’ll never know that the connecting room at your hotel is unlocked and easily accessible by the other person in the other room. It happened to me when I noticed an extra door and as soon as I opened it, I saw a guy in the other room talking on his phone. I asked the front desk to change my room immediately to a non-connecting room as it gives me peace of mind not having that extra door.

20. Ensure your hotel room doors can lock and always double lock at night from the inside. Consider bringing portable door lock

It’s always a good idea to have portable door lock in your luggage in case you feel you need it and if it’ll bring you peace of mind by placing it on your door. It sounds an alarm when someone is trying to open your door.

Find portable door lock pefect for traveling

21. Make friends with locals working at the hotel or hire a reliable company/tour guide

It’s always a good idea to have a WhatsApp number of a local to reach out to in case of emergency. You can also ask them for general questions such as safety tips, recommendations, and cultural etiquette.

22. Consider buying an anti-theft bag  or travel money belt pouch and carry in front of you, especially in crowded places

Secure your valuables and always have your bag in front of you. In addition, consider travel money belt pouch to secure your passport, credit cards, money, etc.

Consider putting AirTags on your wallet, travel bag, and luggage.

23. Never travel alone at night without doing your research and planning about the place. Avoid poorly lit areas!

Even if it’s tempting to go to that colorful street to take pictures while waiting for your dinner to be served. Don’t do it, girl! I made a mistake and ended up going to poorly lit areas.  I did this in Mexico and I didn’t even notice a random guy may be following me since he suddenly popped out from the dark. It’s funny how he was like a little kid popping up from behind me and looking like he was purposely trying to scare me making a “boo” with hands up. There were no other people around, I got so scared so I ran (of course) and went to where there were lights and people.

Even if you do your research, sometimes it’s different when you go there…

When I had to walk for 10 minutes alone at night from a train ride in Milan, Italy then noticed no one was around the area and it was dark, I got so scared. I pulled out my phone, started talking, and took a video of myself (like I’m FaceTiming someone) just in case someone is about to come up to me or will happen to me, someone will know through my phone.

I think when someone sees you’re filming or talking to someone, they would be less likely to approach you or do something. Thankfully, I survived walking in the dark and made sure the next day, I arrived in my hotel when the sun was still out.

24. Blend in and connect with locals and other travelers, but socialize SAFELY

Remember you’re not obligated to say you’re traveling alone.  Trust your gut and instincts. If you feel something is NOT right, don’t do it.

25. Remain alert and pay attention to your surroundings at all times, it’s helpful to know the signs

Don’t get distracted. Notice signs around you and follow the rules.

When I was in Peru, I took a taxi by myself at night and the driver couldn’t understand English at all. He missed my hotel despite telling him to stop twice. I had to think fast and didn’t have time to look at my phone to translate since we passed by the hotel already, but I remembered a road sign “STOP” that said “PARA“.

I paid attention to my surroundings while traveling alone and I remembered seeing stop signs with “PARA”  written on them. So, I said “para”. Funny, how as soon as I said “para” the taxi driver stopped suddenly.

26. Don’t bring and wear expensive items and pieces when you travel alone independently on your own

Avoid getting attention by blending in with locals and do not wear expensive items easily noticeable.

I never wear branded expensive clothes and bags unless I have booked a private tour with a local tour guide where I’m with a tour guide at all times as he/she takes me to sightseeing places.

27. Always take a picture of the plate # of the taxi/uber before getting on it and send it to a trusted family

This is my way of keeping myself accountable for safety purposes.

Knowing I also have to do my due diligence to report and keep my loved ones informed makes me independently responsible since taxi/uber plate number and ride information are not on the initial travel documents I sent to my family

It’s always been a habit of mine to do this on any trip to have peace of mind in case something happens.

28. Never go alone in local public markets where you know you stand out to avoid being taken advantage of

Never walk and shop alone wearing bright colors or expensive and branded bags and clothes unless you’re with a local tour guide or on a group tour to avoid locals easily noticing and taking advantage of you.

29. Know when to say NO and walk away before things get worse

Know what’s more worth your time and battle. Think about the consequences and long-term effects of the choices you make in the present. Learn to align your best thinking with the best course of action you take that will NOT impact you negatively in the future.

 Whether that’s partying in moderation, walking away before things turn violent, or not agreeing to meet someone you just met online, it’s your personal choice, but I hope it’s a careful, safe, healthy, and wise decision.

This is sharing too much, but I NEVER used dating/friendship apps while traveling. It’s just my personal preference NOT to meet people on the internet. I prefer organic meet-ups and interactions, I feel safer and more connected when I meet people for the first time organically in person either at airports, tours, hotel lobbies, restaurants, tourist attractions, etc.

Sorry, but meeting someone online is not part of my character. Of course, it depends on the situation. However, for safety reasons, I prefer not to meet anyone online unless we have common friends or acquaintances.

I am NOT against dating/friendship apps nor against meeting someone online. I was just never a fan. Mostly for safety reasons, but also I enjoy solitude that’s why I travel solo. If I happen to meet someone in person who’s traveling solo also, I’ll openly welcome and be friends with that person if we connect and click. However, I never went out of my way to meet someone online both back home and while traveling.

Don’t trust easily when traveling solo

Honestly, even if I’d meet people organically while solo traveling and they’d approach me and ask for my number and/or have dinner, I am still extra careful just because you’ll never know. So, I never gave my number nor went to dinner with them unless I met them during my group tours.

It’s nice and fun to meet people and make friends while traveling, but it’s better to do it SAFELY. I personally never agreed and wanted to be alone with a guy I just met somewhere in an unfamiliar place. Even if he was my local tour guide from yesterday or even if it’s a cute tourist/local who asked. So what. It happened to me and can happen to you too, but girl, a cute face won’t save you when you’re in true danger, sorry, but my safety is my top priority.

30. Ask your hotel receptionist, concierge, or hotel manager for safe locations around the area

Based on my experiences, some would also offer to call a taxi and would say they know someone who could take me around the area. So you can let the hotel staff know your plans. Ask them about hotel restaurants including their hours of operation and briefly mention when you expect to come back and plan to have dinner there. Just so at least someone knows in case your plans change.

31. If you are lost, don’t make it obvious, ask the locals inside the shops and restaurants for help

Try to appear you know where you are and where you want to go

Make people around you NOT easily notice so you’ll be less of a target.

If you are lost and need help, what works for me is approaching and asking the locals inside a store, shop, or restaurant like the cashiers for help instead of random people on the street.

Asking the staff at local shops or restaurants has helped me find places I want to go to. They even direct and help me find the bus location and number as well as look for taxis and/or tuk-tuk. They even wait with me and tell me when the driver charges high. So, the locals would give short directions and recommend walking there instead.

32. Seat at the centered area at restaurants crowded with tourists. Be aware of the closest exit sign

If you go to crowded restaurants near tourist attractions, don’t sit on the sides outside,  it’s easy for someone to steal due to the easy-existing route. If you’re seated in the center, it will be hard for them to steal anything from you.

In addition, when I went to a concert alone overseas, for safety reasons, I took a picture of their emergency route before the concert started. I looked for the closest exist where I was sitting just in case. I normally leave 30 minutes before the concert ends to avoid the crowded traffic and get an Uber/ride faster.

33. Never leave your food and drinks unattended

I’m sure everyone knows this. However, even if I met a kind solo traveler and we ate together, I still make sure I finish my food and drinks before leaving the tablet to use the restroom.

I find it safer to use the restroom before and after eating regardless if I’m eating alone or with someone I met during my travels.

34. Research, pack, and wear clothes appropriate to your destination’s cultural standards, local laws, and custom

Know and respect your destination’s cultural etiquette and practices. It’s always a good idea to ask your hotel front desk or your local driver for advice.

35. Sit near the driver on buses and coaches 

I do this to ensure a safe journey when I’m next or close to the driver. 

If you also feel easily dizzy like me, sitting in the front window seat helps me reduce motion sickness.

36. Bring travel medicines (for common travel illnesses)

Bring your own prescription medication and travel medicines for common illness you may encounter.

Click HERE to get the list I recommend as a pharmacist and frequent traveler.

Or sign up for newsletter for FREE checklist. 

37. Bring a first-aid kit

I always pack in my carry-on just in case.

38. Stay hydrated and consider bringing a water bottle

Avoid dehydration and getting constipated while traveling by staying well-hydrated. I purchased my cute travel water bottle in Japan, but you can buy on amazon.

39. Never travel without insurance

For your peace of mind, travel with insurance for every trip you take overseas.  Travel insurance provides medical and travel protection in case of unforeseen events happen.

I usually get annual travel insurance to save money. I also book my flight, transportation, hotel, and travel tours using a credit card that has travel insurance on it.

Please do your research and choose whichever one works for you. As long as you know you’re covered for what’s important to you when something happens.

40. Check for bed bugs before unpacking and ensure the room is within your standard of comfort

It’s better to check so you can sleep and travel well and ensure you won’t bring it back home.

I also check for any broken things like A.C., toilet, room phone, doors, and windows, to ensure they work.

41. Check the condition and cleanliness of the room before agreeing to stay

When I smelled smoke in my room and it’s a non-smoking hotel, I asked to change rooms right away.

Any issues I find important to me to be able to sleep well I’d contact the front desk.

42. Bring a small plastic bag before getting on your transportation in case you vomit

Maybe it’s just me, but I easily get motion sickness, especially on winding and bumpy road trips. So I always have a plastic bag in case I vomit inside the bus or car.

Female Safety Tips — Preparation is Key

How To Prepare For Solo Travel

43. Save digital copies of your travel documents on your email and phone must be accessible without wifi

Make sure you can access them without a wifi. If it gives you a piece of mind, make photocopies of all of them and pack them in your luggage. However, I only make a photocopy of my passport. The rest I screenshot on my phone or save files on my iPhone so I can still access without the internet.

44. Make two photocopies of your passport, write emergency contact info, current medications, allergies, blood type, etc

Place one copy in your luggage and one copy in your travel bag or wallet. In addition, you can include your number, email, address, current medicines, and chronic conditions if you want. I do this for my parents as well in case of emergency. When you have to go to the hospital they’d normally ask these questions.

45. Pack at least 2 extra underwear and 2 comfy clothes in your carry-on

If your check-in luggage is delayed you have backup clothes for up to two days.

The purpose is to prepare for possible delayed luggage that will prevent inconvenience and buying clothes unnecessarily.

I always do this. When my sister and I had delayed luggage in Singapore,  I didn’t have to struggle and deal with the inconveniences. I packed what I needed to last me for 2 days at least.

46. Know what kind of traveler you are, research and make a plan

Are you a fast, slow, intermediate traveler? How long do you want to travel alone? Do you want to mix independent and group tours/travels?

Know what you want out of your travels. What do you want to get out of it?

Experiences? What kind? Time alone? Peace? Healing? Self-Care? Freedom? Clarity? Adventure? Connecting more with self and others? Reflection? Just because? Soul searching?

Whatever your reasons, plan SAFELY what you want to experience and have. And make it happen 🙂

47. Maximize your time and create an itinerary

If you want to maximize your time and feel less lonely, follow the itinerary you created in advance

Have a plan, but also be willing to adjust and be flexible.

In case something does not happen/cancel due to weather, be spontaneous.

Create an itinerary of your travel schedule day to day from arrival to departure.

Book activities in advance (less wasted time and less worry once you get to your destination)

48. Always carry cash and allocate in 2-3 different  hidden places 

There are travel items you can find and buy on Amazon to help your money secure, hidden, and/or unnoticeable.

49. Pick a reliable internet service

Whether that’s purchasing e-sim, using your international cellular service data, or pocket hotspot for travel.

50. Always carry a cellphone portable backup battery

I always bring an extra backup iPhone battery sometimes with or without a charger depending on my itinerary that day.

51.Place AirTags on valuable items before traveling

Consider investing in AirTag to put  on all your bags and luggage

I always place AirTags on my travel backpack, mini bag, wallet, and suitcase to track my valuables.

You can track where your luggage is and know sooner if it made it to my final destination or not.

It’s a reliable way to monitor your valuable items as the app sends notifications when something is NOT with you.

52. Ensure you know how to say “HELP” or “STOP” in your destination luggage

Learning and saving local emergency phrases of your destination can be helpful when time requires it. You can easily do this at the airport or while on layovers.

I am guilty. I always forget to do this, but I finally put it on my travel to-do list now as a MUST

53. Watch YouTube videos to learn solo traveler tips and experiences 

Specifically, search and learn about the experiences of others who have been to the destination you’re going to.

Discover what they wish they knew before traveling to the destination you plan to travel solo

Ask or find out how they responded, how they dealt with those issues, and/or what they wish they would have done differently

 

My final thoughts…
