| Safety Travel Tips for
Women
CLOTHES:
- It can be difficult to know what is considered offensive or
suggestive in segregated societies, such as in Orthodox Muslim areas.
Take your cues from the local women. Watch them. If they don't make
eye-to-eye contact with men, follow their example. Blend in. Dress
appropriately.
- Clothing that is fashionable and appropriate in the USA may project
a provocative image in another culture. Leave the revealing clothing
at home.
BODY LANGUAGE:
- Keep your head up, swing your arms and act confident. Adopt a no
nonsense attitude.
Walk with purpose and you'll be less of a target for hustlers who prey
on disoriented or timid tourists.
- If you feel someone if following you, turn around and stare at them.
If you let them know that you see them and that you know you are being
followed, they are less likely to attack you for fear of
identification.
- Try to sit or stand next to other women or family groups in
restaurants, on trains or buses, and in other public places. It is
unlikely that you will be approached or harassed if you're in the
company of other people.
Travel Tips for Everyone
Hidden travel essentials. Can’t leave home without it:
- DUCT TAPE
- Take a foot-long piece of duct tape and wrap it around a pencil.
It fixes so many things. If a strap on a sandal snaps, or your
luggage handle breaks, it's duct tape to the rescue.
- MOLESKIN
- Band-aids often slip off toes and heels, so pack thin moleskin
instead. Buy the soft self-adhesive sheets at a grocery or
drugstore, and cut them into small squares. That way, if you shoe
starts to rub, you can cover the area right away before it turns
into a nasty blister.
- COPY OF PASSPORT
- Always have a photocopy of your passport if you are traveling
internationally, and most importantly, pack it separately from your
passport. If your passport is stolen or you lose your passport, you
will be issued a passport in half the time if you supply a copy.
- PEPPER SPRAY
- This is a good idea for men and women. Pepper spray gives you time
to run or call for help. Although you are using pepper spray as a
weapon, it will only cause temporary pain and discomfort to your
attacker.
