I know most of traveller are men but I always want to travel and I wanna start it around the country. You think it's not dangerous for a woman to travel alone?

I've traveled alone.
if something is going to happen it could just as easily happen in your own home.
I don't know if you're a person of faith.
I say a prayer before leaving home every morning. and try to be aware of my surroundings.
I can tell you I've been blessed to be kept safe in all kinds of situations.

Why would it b??? I did..alone..
Welcome to the forum..play safe and have fun..

I have, I just pray for protection

Thanks for all your nice comments.. It really helps me think positively :)

Depends what country you're in or plan to go to. I think there are countries where it wouldn't be particularly smart for a woman to travel on her own. I wouldn't like to travel in Middle Eastern/Muslim countries on my own.
I.e. been to Morocco with my ex. That would be okayish on your own, provided you are very careful. We travelled on local buses, which hardly any tourist did, and at some point we were literally crammed in, pushed up against the windows, cos there were that many ppl in the bus. I would never ever have done that on my own. Even with my ex there, I felt uncomfortable, so did he.
ANd had I been on my own, I sure as he|| would have left the Sukh well before dusk. We had intended to do that as well, got lost. Things can get awkward after dusk in places like that, however good they may be during the day.
So it depends.

To help your methodology of faith to work for you best, I suggest simply that you take it all at a relaxing pace, take each step slowly, be in no hurry, and give yourself time to interpret your feelings of faith based insight for each direction you take and each decision you might have to make along the way.
In other words just don't be rushed into any decisions along the way, always give yourself time to contemplate each step or opportunity as you travel so you can give yourself time to let faith based insight work for you.
No rushed decisions, no sudden changes in your plans, those are the ways that you can be caught off guard and not have time to know better.

I am a woman who loves to travel and this is also a fear I had a lot. I have gained confidence because I was compelled to travel alone to many countries for my work.

Still, some countries scare me more than others, Europe for example, at least some parts of Europe I feel safe.

India, my neighbour I want to visit, do sort of backpacking, but I am scared to do it alone. I love hiking too.

Do you ever think of looking for a travel partner, I am looking for someone who is fun, exciting to travel with, man or woman, not a problem.

Let me know.

also in Europe there are groups that will snatch a young woman like you and sell you off. or just use you.


You have been watching too much TV if you think it only happens in Europe

traveling alone depends on a lot of things.. mainly age and attraction.. after that its how vulnerable you might be,
also keep this in mind,
lets say some thing comes up and your in a situation that wont be good for you. if you prepared you got options. if not best you can do is take it and do what you can to get them to let you live.

also in Europe there are groups that will snatch a young woman like you and sell you off. or just use you.
my recommendation is to learn to run and some form of self defense knowledge, other wise your just asking for some one to show you how week you are if it happens.

and always keep eye on surroundings and never ever trust some one on a trip alone.

well id tell her it goes on in the whole world byt then she may not want to travel any more, so i just picked one place and left it at that

I have travelled alone a few times...but only in Europe, and i haven't experienced worse things than being overcharged by a taxi driver (which had nothing to do with me being a woman ).

So, speaking for Europe, i don't think it is more dangerous for a woman to travel alone than for anybody else travelling alone. "Bad" things can happen to anyone, regardless of the sex, yet it doesn't mean that anything bad will happen at all if you are travelling alone. I think that FEAR itself attracts more danger than anything else! My advice is: don't be fearful, be calm and confident, but be also smart and cautious. It always helps if you don't look like a typical tourist, but more like a local...

I agree with Crystal Fairy about there are countries a woman shouldn't travel alone. I have traveled alone since I was 19. I am just very careful about where I travel and make myself aware of my surroundings. I also stay away from streets/areas that are unsafe. Do some research on places that you want to travel, make sure the hotels you book are in safe areas, also keep an eye on you valuables. For instance I would hide money in a belt on me but keep only a few small bills in my wallet so no one would know if I had any larger amounts of money. Kept cameras small and hideable. When walking; had flat shoes on in case I would have to run. Stay away from walking alone at night. I usually met people that were also on vacation and hung with them. I just used common sense when venturing out alone and had no problems traveling.

not if you have ccw stay in states that honor youe state. or pepper-spray. this world full of nuts good luck

Avoid places like this

op not sure how you want to travel but ck with the airlines as to what you can bring ... already taking precaution now becouse of Isis ...in all ways to travel... and would be aware of what country now to go to...with the Ebola out break to ... but just ck out where and what is going on in that country before you take a trip ... have fun ... but be careful ...

I traveled alone and I'm still here to tell you about it. You just need to be aware of your surroundings and do research on the places you want to go. You can definitely do it. You learn so much about yourself and about others, too. Travelling is a freedom to be who you really are. Don't let fears hold you back!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain

something can happen when your with a friend so I think it would be wiser to travel in a group at the minute just because of all the things that are going in the world right now. which brings me to my next point, you have to be really careful about where your going as one person might be ok but the next person could be on the news crying to come home. you just never know what could happen so doing some research and watching the news would be a good idea before you go anywhere.

that is racism

It is only dangerous if you believe it is. If you act scared, you will have a reason to be. I have always travelled alone, even as a teenager, with few family exceptions. I have travelled Europe alone, more than once, and love it. There are always friendly people everywhere to reach out to you. I found this especially true in England and Germany. Put yourself places where you have open access to chat with people, such as parks and cafe's and pubs. Libraries, movie theaters and music concerts wouldn't be good as you can't talk out loud.
