SOLO TRAVEL TIPS

Here are some tips for solo travel as a woman: 

• Pack the right travel purse. I recommend an anti-theft travel crossbody bag. 
• Purchase travel insurance. I use and recommend SafetyWing.
• Book accommodations in advance and research safe neighborhoods. I use booking.com or VRBO. 
• Sign up for a couple group tours and activities as a way to meet new friends to balance out your solo time. I love using GetYourGuide or Viator for this.
