HANDY TIPS FOR Travelling Solo & Safe


TIPS TO REMAIN HAPPY AND SAFE
Confidence is key when you travel solo. While many prefer to jon a group, there are a few who like to give company to just themselves. With some handy tips up your sleeve, you can enjoy a great solo vacation. Here goes...

PLAN AHEAD & KNOW YOUR ITINERARY
Plan your trip before leaving home, and always review your travel route before leaving the hotel. It is ideal to follow travel apps, which give route maps of your city of visit. Social media platforms are usually abuzz with local ! news. Follow those and be prepared.
Better yet, use a GPS app and stay safe.

BLEND IN EASILY
Dressing like the locals is a bright idea. Keep your travel gear easy and not too flashy. Pack light so that you can move quickly . Keep your bags locked and always respect local customs and try to blend in.

STAY CLOSE TO CITY CENTRES
A national hotel chain with a good safety record is a good idea. In fact, nowadays, many chains offer women-only floors.Ask for a room above the ground floor, near the elevator, and away from emergency exits. Staying in the city centre reduces your travel time and is also considered safer as many people can be found on the streets even in wee hours.

STAY FRIENDLY
Interact freely but do not disclose too many details to a stranger. While enjoying city nightlife, make sure you are aware of your surrounding company .
