Woman of today is independent; self sufficient and confident in all aspects of life compared to her older generation. This extends to any field! Be it politics, industries, media, social services, education or even traveling for that matter. Talking of traveling, traditional ways of group travel are not so popular these days… thanks to the hectic and busy lifestyle of people or simply may be due to the concept of more-the-merrier just diminishing.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are a lonely lady traveller:
1. Travel light: Pack things which are required. Carrying unwanted stuff will only be a burden throughout the trip. Also carrying the right kind of bags like backpacks would be more convenient to carry around than the bulky suitcase or airbags.
2. Research: Do a quick internet search about the place you are heading to or talk to people who have been there before. More you know the better it is. The weather conditions and other details can help you pack the right things.
3. Carry maps and important phone numbers: No matter how fancy and updated your electronic gadgets are, the good old way of carrying those small little maps and writing down the important phone numbers can never go wrong.
4. Know the culture: Knowing the culture and tradition of a place, esp. if traveling abroad, can be very useful. In countries like India, Thailand, etc there is a dress code to be followed when one visits certain places like temples, pagodas and some historical places. Also a few countries are a bit more conservative when it comes to dressing. So you wouldn't want to dress inappropriately to such places and get all the unwanted attention.
5. Be friendly but be alert: Making new friends in the trip is surely quite exciting. Being secure is the most important aspect during travel and this is possible only when you are alert about whom you are making friends with.
6. Carry first aid and medical kit: Carrying medical and first aid kit can come handy during travel esp. when traveling to remote destinations of a country or even when heading for adventure sports like trekking, mountain climbing, etc.
7. Planning: Planning to drive? Try to make a route map and assign time targets for achieving distances. It’s very easy to get distracted to some new destination on route and spend more time searching for the new place. Most important point to remember though is to know where your pit stops should be... where are the petrol stations, where can we pitch up a tent for the night, what are the accommodation options available etc?
8. Carry a camera: Carry a camera which is handy… the aim and shoot cameras are very useful to capture all those quick memorable moments. You would not want to miss any of it, would you?
9. Books & Music: Books and Music make a great companion while traveling. Do not forget to carry your favorite read and music you love listening to.
Here you go!!!!! All you ladies out there time to pack your bags and head right out to a place that interests you and explore it all by yourself.
