Company to travel

Hello,

The idea of travelling on your own may be a scary prospect. You are probably worried about getting lost or getting bored while abroad. But here's the thing ; solo travellers have a lot of freedom in making decisions. You can decide where to go,how long to stay and plan your own itinerary.


When travelling alone, take care of your valuables. Do not carry very heavy jewellery or expensive electronic gadgets. Your valuables can attract undue attention and make you a likely target for robbers,also while carrying money,avoid keeping a huge stash on you. Divide it up and store in different places. Try using traveller's cheque or credit cards.


If you are travelling by train or car it's best to ensure you reach your destination during the day.
Making your way after sundown can get a bit intimidating. Areas around bus and train station can be deserted. Arriving by after noon will ensure you have adequate time to find your way to the hotel and check-in before dark.

This one is for all the women. To avoid attractive extra attention. It's best to dress a little conservatively. Try and do some research about the place you are about to visit and what the local dressing style is like. While shorts and sleeveless tee is perfectly acceptable in Goa. In certain parts of the North India it may cause stares.

It can be intimidating for first time solo travellers to make their way on their own. Ensure you have read up about the place,the closest tourist centers,modes of transport,etc. So that you are not totally lost. Carry mobile phone if possible and a tourist guide so that you can ask for your whereabouts.

Make copies of your passport , hotels stay confirmation and other travel documents. Carry a copy on you,as well as leave a few behind with your close family and friends. In case of any emergency ,they will know where to contact and if you misplace your documents they can provide a copy.
