Do you have any tips for traveling safely as a lone female? There are so many places that I want to see that my friends and family just aren’t interested in.

I definitely recommend going places solo – it can be so much fun and so freeing to not have to consult with other people on where you’re going next. For safety reasons, it is probably best to stick with heavily populated places but that’s just me – as long as you look confident and are willing to stick up for yourself, most places shouldn’t be completely off limits for you.

I’ve noticed lots of females including family too, often time bench certain travel experiences when it comes down to traveling alone. and I can understand why, with safety & security being the main culprits most times. Put it this way though you’re traveling alone try not to travel alone. It is most times safer to travel in groups. Is advised to make friends but be careful when making friends with strangers, as this can create unsafe situations. Read this blog post we had on Solo Travel & The Joy of Traveling Alone – TravelA2Z to get insights on Travelling alone. While doing all, travelling alone can be a very fulfilling adventure when done correctly. I would say whether friends or family not everyone shares the same interests, don’t be afraid to venture out alone because on the other side of fear is confidence & adventure. but whichever you do, however, in whatever way, remember safety is always a top priority. In other cases, you can choose to find groups visiting these destinations you can join instead, which could even be cheaper and more fun too. -

I sometimes like to travel alone as I can travel at my own pace and preferred locations. I would recommend you to check reviews online regarding safety and security of a particular place and avoid traveling late at night. Keep a pepper spray with you and keep the phone battery charged. Share your live location with family/friends, if feasible.

As a female solo traveler, I would not be comfortable visiting completely new places but that’s just me. I know a lot of people who have been to solo trips of multiple days. Just be careful at all times and ensure that you stay at a reputable hotel/hostel. Do not take anything for granted. Don’t be over-friendly with strangers. Good luck!

Solo Travel is infact an amazing experience. The flexibility it allows is mind blowing. Do whatever you want at your own pace. The downsides are you are solely responsible to keep check of security and other necessities. But the reality is, It can be totally worth it -

I’ve traveled alone quite a bit, and even when I’m not on a trip by myself, I tend to stray from the people I’m with. My main focus is to stick to populated, well-lit areas. Also, trust your gut. If you’re in a place that’s giving you a creepy feeling, get out of there.

As a Travel Ambassador, I truly believe that solo travel can be an incredibly empowering experience, but staying safe should always be a priority. Whether you’re exploring a new city alone or wandering off from your group, here are some key safety tips:Choosing bustling streets, cafes, and tourist-friendly zones minimizes risks.
Avoid poorly lit or isolated areas, especially at night.
2. Trust Your Instincts
If a place feels off or uncomfortable, leave immediately.
It’s always better to prioritize safety over curiosity.
3. Stay ConnectedShare your live location with a trusted friend or family member.
Keep a charged phone and portable power bank with you at all times.
4. Blend In & Stay Aware
Try to avoid looking lost—walk with confidence and observe your surroundings.
Dressing like a local can sometimes help avoid unwanted attention.

I pack conservative-looking clothes for my trips. These include travel skirts below the knee and thin button-downs to either layer or wear on their own.
