From sunrise hikes to moonlit night markets, there are plenty of way to maximize your time on a solo excursion. While we love taking the road less traveled as much as anyone, it\u2019s also important to be aware of the risks of travelling and follow safety tips to avoid dangerous situations no matter the time of day. From travelling in a group tour to safely using rideshare apps, we\u2019ve put together 15 of our top female travel tips to help you stay safe and well while exploring the world as a solo traveller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Avoid travelling alone at night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our top female travel safety tips for staying safe after dark is to avoid travelling alone at night. If you\u2019re travelling solo, try to take long train or bus journeys in the daytime. You\u2019ll feel more comfortable getting your bearings in a new destination in the light of day, plus there will be more people around to help you feel more secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need to travel at night, you could try to meet some fellow travellers and ask if you can stick with them for the journey. Most people understand the dangers of travelling alone at night and will be happy for you to join their group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019re planning a night out with friends, make sure you figure out a safe way to meet them and get home afterwards, such as a rideshare service. If you do find yourself walking alone after dark, try to walk nearby a couple or a family, as you\u2019re less of a target when you\u2019re with other people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Get to know the area before you travel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you explore a new destination, you should research the area well before you go. You\u2019ll need to know basic things like which parts of town are the busiest or which parts to avoid, where you can get a rideshare service or taxi, plus where you can go for help if needed. It\u2019s also helpful to learn about popular scams in the area where you\u2019re travelling, so you can be extra aware of your surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Take a group tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best female travel safety tips is to take a group tour. This way, you\u2019ll enjoy the comfort and safety of travelling with a group. You\u2019ll meet plenty of fellow travellers and you\u2019ll never have to travel alone after dark. You\u2019ll also benefit from having a guide who can tell you which areas to avoid and which areas are the best for exploring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you travel on a group tour with Trafalgar, your Travel Directors will take care of everything, from your accommodation and activities to your transport between cities. So you can kick back and enjoy your trip, without having to worry about every little detail. We even offer women only travel tours<\/a>, so you can travel comfortably with supportive, like-minded women travellers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Stick to the busy areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling solo and can\u2019t find anyone to go out with after dark, you should always stick to the crowded areas. There\u2019s safety in number and you can use that to your advantage by sticking to the busiest streets rather than the quiet back alleys. If you do feel unsafe, you can always walk into the nearest hotel or restaurant and ask someone for help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Make friends with local residents and fellow travellers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling alone, try to increase your visibility by getting to know the community. Introduce yourself to other female travellers and look out for each other. Chat to the hotel staff and let them know where you\u2019re going and when you\u2019re coming back. Learn some basic words and phrases in the local language so you can connect with the locals and also ask for help if needed. You might even make a few friends along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Pay for your safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As much as we love a spontaneous trip, some things are better not left to chance. One of our top female travel safety tips is to plan as much as possible and always pay for your safety, even if you have to spend a bit more. Book a reliable transfer from the airport to your accommodation. Stay in accommodations in the busy, central areas. Take taxis or rideshare services instead of walking at night. Buy a local SIM card so you have mobile internet everywhere. Think of these resources as safety items you\u2019ll have in your pocket and on your journey. Saving some money isn\u2019t worth risking your safety, so always plan ahead and prioritise your safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you travel with Trafalgar, we make it easy by planning the safest options for you such as a luxury, private coach, centralised hotels, and private transfers. Plus, we wrap it up into one easy price, so all you have to budget for is your spending money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Be safe with rideshare apps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A common way to get around is with rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft. These apps can be very useful for getting around quickly and comfortably, especially at night. They also have extra safety features<\/a> like tracking you and your driver on the ride, allowing you to share your journey with a friend and letting you pay with a credit card so no cash is exchanged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are still some risks and female travel tips you\u2019ll need to be aware of when using rideshare services. When waiting for your rideshare, be sure to stay inside or around people, as standing on the roadside with your phone in hand makes you an easy target for thieves. When your vehicle arrives, make sure you confirm the license plate, car make and model, and driver photo matches the description in the profile on the app. This is an easy way to avoid the danger of getting into cars pretending to be rideshare vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re on your way, always keep your bags with you in case you need to get out of the car quickly. Always let a friend know where you\u2019re going and when you expect to get there. Never share too much personal information with your driver or other passengers about where you\u2019re travelling, how long you\u2019re travelling, and if you\u2019ll be alone (you should never share this information with any strangers). Lastly, always wear your seat belt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Conceal your valuables<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While we love listening to music on a long journey, you should avoid walking around with earbuds in a new town or city, especially after dark. You\u2019ll not only be less aware of your surroundings, but you\u2019ll also be an easier target to thieves as they\u2019ll know you likely have a smartphone in your pocket. Instead, consider carrying a personal safety alarm in your pocket that you can quickly trigger to make a really loud sound. It\u2019s often enough to scare off any would-be muggers, or at least get the attention of someone so you can let them know you need help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Watch your drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our most practical travel safety tips for women is that many use at home as well: watch your drinks. We love letting our hair down and having a couple of drinks on a night out when travelling. However, it\u2019s important to always keep a close eye on your drinks to ensure they aren\u2019t tampered with or spiked. It\u2019s also best to limit your drinks as getting drunk in an unknown place after dark can put anyone in a dangerous situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Write down your accommodation details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you need to go out at night but you\u2019re worried about finding your way back to your accommodation, always take a business card or ask someone at the front desk to write down the name, address, and phone number of the accommodation. If you get lost or can\u2019t communicate with your taxi driver, you can give them the card so you can get home safely after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Trust your gut instincts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Among the most travel safety tips for women is to always trust your gut i<\/a>nstincts. If something feels off, it probably is. Many people, especially women, ignore their gut instincts because they don\u2019t want to come off as rude, hysterical or overreacting. Wherever you go, always choose your safety over politeness and always trust your intuition. If you feel you need to get out of a situation, leave immediately and don\u2019t worry about what others think. You\u2019ll never be sorry you trusted yourself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Lie to strangers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lying to strangers sounds blunt because it needs to be. We like to believe that most people we met in the world have good intentions, but that isn’t always the case. Innocently telling a stranger details about where you’re staying, how long you’re staying, and why you’re traveling alone can increase your risk for victimization. Politely change the conversation to small talk if you can; if you do feel inclined to answer, you can always say that you’re meeting with a friend, traveling for work, or have an upcoming in-person obligation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Identify safe spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best tips for traveling alone as a woman is to educate yourself on a destination’s inclusivity. People of different genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities, and other intersectionalities face marginalization throughout the world. However, there are many communities where they are accepted and safe. A city with a large LGBTQ+ scene or a town where Indigenous people are supported and strengthened by institutional powers are likely to have safer spaces for a solo female traveler to feel more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Be cautious and courageous <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traveling alone can be a frightening thought, but you shouldn’t let fear be the determining factor in your travels. Exercising caution is critical in everything from choosing a hotel or homestay to choosing between public transportation and private transport. But being cautious doesn’t mean you can’t be courageous too. Travel is an act of bravery, no matter how near or far. Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone when safety allows; being receptive to trying new things is an amazing way to embrace local culture and customs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it safe for a woman to travel alone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, in many cases, it is safe for a woman to travel alone. Unfortunately, female travelers are victimized at home and abroad, no matter if they’re alone or with a friend, but that doesn’t mean you should be fearful of seeing the world on your terms. Caution, common sense, and preparation can alleviate risks and allow you to navigate a place in the safest way possible.
