Female travellers have to pay attention to safety issues their male counterparts don’t need to consider, especially when travelling in parts of the world where local women never travel alone. The idea of travelling alone can be scary, but while there are places that are not recommended for lone women travellers, there is no need for paranoia: with some common sense and pre-trip research travelling alone is not just possible but also fun.
Researching the destination before going, learning about its culture and traditions, respecting local dress code and being aware of cultural do’s and don’ts are all ways to make travel safer and to enrich the travel experience. Learning a few words of the local language helps to connect with local women.
In many countries, especially in South Asia and the Middle East, women dress much more conservatively than in Europe or North America. Knowing what to wear can save a woman traveller from a lot of hassle and reduce sexual harassment which, unfortunately, is common in many parts of the world.
