Women Travel: Safety Tips – as part of the expert series by GeoBeats.
Some of the advice I would give to solo women travelers is if you don’t want unwanted attention then follow the customs and the rituals of the country that you are in. And its very very important especially in the countries in the Middle east, lots of countries in Asia. I mean, you know, be respectful of that country. look around and see what other local women are wearing, and granted, you don’t have to wear, you know, there traditional dress, but notice are their shoulders covered, are they wearing hats, are their ankles covered, you know, and are they wearing flip-flops.
And try to be really respectful of that. I mean first of all you are a tourist so you are going to stick out but you can make it much worse and potentially more dangerous for you if you think you can dress maybe like you do at home. So be really mindful of the customs of that country and its just simply takes you looking around to figure that out lots of times.
