Women’s Travel Tips to Take to Heart

It’s a fact that women need to travel with a little special care and women, taught to have a care in life in general, can toss cares to the wind on vacation (like all travelers can) and lose that finely tuned caution edge that they keep honed on their own city streets.

Avoiding Travel Theft

Thieves often perceive females as easier targets for theft than men. The most obvious solution is sticking to the safer parts of town, but you’ll certainly miss adventure if you do.

Carry a light

Consider avoiding deserted streets after dark; if you can’t, then carry a small, heavy flashlight in your hand. Be careful on dark streets even if you have a companion

Watch the crowd

Some thieves prefer crowded areas – stay alert in places like bus stations and during street celebrations, where you’re likely to be jostled .thieves use these circumstances to grab your stuff.

Don’t bring the bling

Avoid ostentatious jewelry; you could be injured if a thief yanks a bracelet from your wrist or a necklace from your throat.

Let the bag go

let your bag go and then shout for help rather than risk assault. Opening your wallet and handing over your money may be enough for the thief and you can keep your bag — it also may make a thief think you’re reaching for a weapon. Better to hand over the bag.

Dress like a local

Learn the local dress code as soon as you arrive; buy appropriate clothing locally if neccesary. In some countries, typical American young women’s attire like a shirt that shows your belly may be an offensive slap in the face to local women and an invitation for a come-on from the men. In Islamic countries, lay aside your own opinions and wear a head scarf
