Responses to Female travellers...Travelling alone? Are you
serious? It’s not safe..blah blah blah!
Ladies, have you ever heard all of this whenever you
expressed the thought of travelling alone?
Don’t worry these are
the people who are always busy in arithmetic and are satisfied with whatever
they see everyday.
If you have the urge for travelling to new places, follow
these three instructions strictly:
·
Ask your family and assure them that you will be
safe. Your safety is of utmost importance.
·
Don’t think too much. Just go, because this is
the right time.
· Don’t plead to someone for joining you, there
are a lot many lone travellers so you will be adding just one more.
Now, would like to
share four important tips which you may find worth considering, whenever you
are travelling to some other city or to some other country.
1. Read,
Analyse and Plan:
Make enquiries about the place. Read about
it, analyse all the risks and plan accordingly. The only aim should be to
maximise your learning and have a great experience. Travel should be in a
disciplined manner and try to fix and stick to the timelines. Although flexibility
is okay sometimes but you are the only one who has to take a call.
2. Observe
your surroundings and be aware:
To involve yourself with the local culture
is good but make sure that you know your surroundings and are not lost into it.
Always keep in mind that people around you know that you are a tourist and that
exposes you to a possible risk. Would advise not to trust everyone, not even a
female. So keep yourself safe.
3. Stay
in touch:
Inform your family and a few closed friends
about your tentative travel plan, give them a few contact nos. To be used in
emergency. Keep them updated with your whereabouts. This must be your “must to
do” checklist item.
4. Enjoy
to the fullest:
And this is the most important tip. Rejuvenate
yourself and enjoy to the fullest. Don’t look into your wallet too much J although its better to
stick to your budget.
(not to mention always keep many copies of
your important documents like passport, visa etc...Just in case...)
So pack your bags, go there and explore J
Once you come back, people, who were being so
sceptical about your travel plan, will be the first ones to come and to listen
to your stories.
