Choose destinations in which a woman on her own would feel comfortable – such as most of Europe and North America, Australia and New Zealand, and a large portion of Asia.
Avoid unwanted male attention by staying close to other women, dressing locally, and simply ignoring approaches. In countries where the going gets rough, a wedding ring and reference to a husband nearby will do wonders.
Do research before you leave. Find out about customs. Is it all right for a woman to look a man in the eye or to walk uncovered? Don’t get me wrong – you can do what you like. Just know that if you fly in the face of custom, there may be consequences.
Wear culturally appropriate clothing which won’t draw too much attention in conservative societies. At a minimum keep your shoulders and knees covered, and save the cleavage for date night. What is perfectly adequate in Chicago or Sydney may be wildly offensive in North Africa or the Middle East.
Solo or not, always be careful at night, just as you would in a major city back home. Keep your eye on your drink if you’re among new company, and don’t do drugs when you’re on the road. In some countries, there’s a death penalty involved. And at the very least, get stoned and you’ll find yourself in a position of helplessness. Continue reading
