Basics
There are many benefits to traveling alone, including independence and a greater opportunity to connect with locals. On the other hand, solo travelers are more vulnerable targets of harassment and theft. If you’re traveling alone, look confident, try to blend in, and be careful in deserted or very crowded areas. Stay away from poorly-lit areas. Never admit that you are traveling alone. Maintain regular contact with someone at home who knows your itinerary, and always research your destination before traveling.
