me-and-you

I'm hoping to travel alone in a few years. Every time I tell people this I hear the same questions about how I'll travel safely because I'm a smaller girl. With that in mind, I have a couple questions.

Did you hitchhike?

If so, did you take any precautions?

Any tips to stay safe in hotels and hostels?

Is there any regions or countries you would avoid?

Any overall safely tips?

Thanks!

Thanks, I'm glad to hear stories from women who have safely hitchhiked alone. I don't know if I'm brave enough to consider going it alone yet, but maybe someday. Thanks for the tip about travel time. I never would have considered that.

Where could you rent safes and things?

I understand. I want to see those places eventually, when it's a little more stable. Where would you recommend someone start out?

Ah, ok. That makes it much safer. I heard a rubber door stop is good to have too. I saw that you also used couch surfing sites. I'm definitely looking at using those too. How do you vet the people you'll be staying with? I've never been there, but it's at the top of the list. Thank you!
