Solo traveling as a woman… is it actually safe or am I overthinking it?
Our take
I’ve been really wanting to start travelling solo this year, but I keep going back and forth in my head about it. On one side, it feels like it would be such a wonderful experience, just exploring new places on my own, doing whatever the heck I want, and meeting new people. But at the same time, I can’t really ignore the safety concerns.
I’m from India, sooo, perhaps... maybe that’s also why I’m a bit more cautious, but I’d genuinely love to hear from people who’ve actually done solo travel. How safe did you actually feel while travelling alone, and were there certain places that felt more comfortable than others? I’m also wondering if it’s smarter to start with shorter trips first or just go for it and figure things out along the way.
I really don’t want fear to hold me back, but I also don’t want to be naive about it. Would really appreciate some honest advice... 🥹

- Help!! First time going solo!Hello! I have been wanting to do a solo trip, but I have always been so scared to do it. I finally decided to do it this year to cross that off my bucket list🥺. Hoping to do it around July or August. I’m a female in my late 20’s. When I travel I usually prefer more of a nature/island vibe (touching grass lol). I’m also a big foodie and I think that’s the best way to really learn about the culture of the place you’re visiting (besides reading about their history ofc haha). I like excursions and activities versus lounging at an all inclusive😭. I came here because I was hoping to get some tips on how to get started. I thought about joining travel groups but unsure if that’s the best route or actually try and plan it on my own. Any advice would be much appreciated! submitted by /u/Zealousideal_Ad6799 [link] [comments]
- Traveling in IndiaHey guys, I’ve been seeing a lot of mixed things online about India not being safe for tourists, so I’m kinda curious what it’s actually like. Has anyone here traveled to India? How was it honestly? Did you face any unsafe or uncomfortable situations? submitted by /u/Illustrious-Bunch407 [link] [comments]
- What's the sketchiest situation you've been in while traveling solo? How did you handle it?I'm heading to Istanbul and Medellín in the next few months for my first real solo trips and honestly the safety side is what's making me nervous. Not enough to cancel, but enough that I keep googling "is X neighborhood safe at night" and getting conflicting info from old blog posts. For those of you who've been in genuinely sketchy situations got scammed, felt unsafe, had something stolen how did you actually handle it in the moment? And how did you know about the risk beforehand (or did you not)? Curious what tools/apps/habits you use to stay safe, or if you just wing it and hope for the best. submitted by /u/bloodmoon007 [link] [comments]
