Solo traveller tips
Travel smart, travel safe
A few simple habits that keep solo trips safe, smooth and stress free.
Delay the posts
Hold off on sharing your location in real time. Your safety comes first, and your followers can enjoy the journey with you a little later.
Security first
Consider a portable door lock or door jammer for extra peace of mind when you are staying somewhere alone.
Keep copies of important documents
Store copies of your passport, ID, tickets and booking information both digitally and in a secure physical place.
Always stay connected
A local SIM or pocket Wi-Fi keeps you reachable and helps you find your way around with ease.
