To feel safe, while traveling alone
A few tips to feel safe when traveling alone: (It is often women traveling alone who wonder about this, but can be useful for all genders to know about of course)
1. Read reviews when looking for accommodation.
2. See different places before you order.
3. Use a CREDIT CARD, because if you lose it or get scammed, you can get the money back. (Just remember to pay what you owe when you get home).
4. In places where you feel a little unsafe, it might be a good idea to get up early and go to bed early, it's often a little scarier in the evening.
5. Trust your gut feeling, no matter how big or small it is. It's best to be safe.
6. Tell your family or a good friend where you are going when you are going there.
