Safety for women travelers

Safety for women travelers


Women travelers are prime targets for theft, muggings and even worse rape. Prepare for your holiday in advance and be aware of the dangers. Here are some tips to help keep you safe. USE THEM!

Before setting off on your travels find out all you can about the country, their customs, laws, etc..

Buy a bum bag to carry your money and documents and hide it under your clothing


Take a rubber doorstopper for your hotel. Lodge the doorstopper from the inside, for added security.

Use disposable cameras when traveling to high-crime countries.

Place bells or something that makes a noise when touched on your luggage, and when someone tries to move it, you will hear. Always, when standing around or sitting drinking coffee, keep your foot through the strap. If someone drops something, or something happens, look at your backpack. This may be a diversion to steal your backpack.


Don`t venture out after dark by yourself.

To help people help you during an emergency in a foreign land, type (and preferably laminate) a small card, on which you mention your age, blood group and other relevant medical details. Most important, a number to contact - a global cell phone or the number of the hotel you are staying at. Carry this with you at all times.

Luggage tags should not have your home address on them. Instead fill in with your business address. Or the address of your local police station.

Be aware of the usual travel safety concerns: birth control pills or other contraceptive devices, and feminine hygiene products. Be sure to carry with you any other medications that are required to maintain good health. Condoms are a necessity for preventing sexually-transmitted diseases. A

single woman traveling in Asia should wear a real wedding ring this will warn men that you are married.

Try not to look like a tourist. Wear plain clothes that won't give the impression you are carrying money or valuables. Leave jewelry at home - including rings and watches. Buy a cheap watch just for travel - you only need to have the correct time while on a trip!

Avoiding eye contact with men is a good way to prevent any problems or hassles.

In short, the single woman should never travel alone, and should always be acutely aware of what she is doing and the customs of the country she is visiting. Traveling with a group of friends will be the best way to prevent a dangerous situation.

Reality matches the myths in many ways, though. In the middle of the state, Orlando stands as the undisputed capital of the theme park. Along the Atlantic coast, Miami simmers with Caribbean and Latin American flair, and sights such as alligators in the Everglades and the space shuttle at the Kennedy Space Center allow you to enjoyably combine education with vacation.
