Though solo traveling is one of the most adventurous activities, it can be intimidating as well, especially for first-timers. However, regardless of whether you are a first-timer or a pro solo traveler, taking precautions are must for both, concerning the safety priorities. Nevertheless, on the other hand, people can follow some top-notch tips that will not just contribute to keeping you safe but also make your adventure a memorable and thrilling experience. Iโm sharing several excellent tips that can be extremely beneficial for solo traveling.
1. Keep funds in cash for times of urgency
Having cash in your pockets is one of the most important things while traveling solo. Itโs not a good idea to depend on your online bookings and cash as anything unexpected can happen at any time. For instance, the mobile network may not be available in your area to pay cash digitally or your online reservation of a train may get canceled and youโll need instant cash to book a new ticket, and the same can happen with accommodations reserved online as well.

Pinning the location of your accommodation on digital maps will help you never get lost anywhere. As if you may forget your way to your reserved place the map will always show your priority location on top and the distance you need to cover to get there.

Itโs a prominent consideration. Before traveling solo on long trips, itโs better to experience some short trips alone and learn to explore the places as a solo traveler and this can be done by embarking on weekend journeys to nearby cities or towns.

insolotravel5. Set necessary boundaries and remember your limits to keep the danger away
One of the most pivotal tips is to prioritize your safety and know your limits while traveling alone. For instance, drinking until you canโt remember your address or stand still on your feet is definitely not a good idea as you are the only person who can take care of you on solo traveling.
6. Keep a selfie stick with you while traveling and you wonโt regret it!
I can assure you that you wonโt regret keeping a selfie stick with you and it is a must-have during solo traveling, especially when you donโt want strangers to take wide angles of you. And I think itโs a well-known fact that selfie sticks are most helpful for video recording or live streaming.
