A lot of backpackers say that solo backpacking is one of the most enriching experiences they’ve had while traveling. While guys can do this with relative ease, it’s a different story for women in general. If you’re planning a solo backpacking trip, here are a few safety tips to follow.
First, solo traveling doesn’t mean you are always on your own. The fact is, you will always be surrounded by people. A lot of these people are fellow solo backpackers as well, making it easier to make friends because of these dynamics. And with new friends come perks like saving money by sharing meals or booking a tuk-tuk for 2 instead of just 1.
If you’re uncomfortable staying in dorm rooms but want to experience life inside hostels, some hostels offer private rooms as well. And always check the reviews of your hostel in terms of security and the overall experience of previous customers.

Lastly, don’t carry too many valuables. For travelers, material objects don’t matter as much, but may still attract the wrong people. When going out, bring just enough money and leave any expensive jewelry.
