Traveling solely can be a liberating experience for one, I enjoyed it as it had always signified freedom and grit for me. I think that's the reason I cherish journey & leisure time so much. It allows one the opportunity to alien, where nobody knows you and therefore you are always a bit tempted to act of norm. Yet the benefits going solo are immeasurable. There are, however, those indecorous individuals always lurking at tourist spots to try to take advantage of your liberated feelings, so it pays to take a few measures when you travel so that you and fellow mates can stay safe.

Here are a few safety tips to help you enjoy your vacation traveling safe:

1. Always keep all doors and windows safely locked to your hotel room.

2. Do not swank your wealth, keep large quantities hidden and only keep a few bills in your wallet to ensure safety.

3. Do not carry your best belongings. Leave your prodigal stuff at home or locked in a hotel safe.

4. Be Aware - This doesn’t mean being paranoid. It only means when you are walking from your hotel into town, register landmarks and remember street names. Notice your milieu, but don’t forget to notice the people around you too. If you keep seeing the same guy turning up at the market or near your hotel, take note. If a guy gets it in his head that he wants to follow or harass you, ignore him or be firm and ask him politely to leave you alone. Always be ahead of the game.

5. Hire a reputable guide to show you around.

6. Try to keep liquor consumption under control. Nothing spells "target" more than a falling down drunk.

7. Take Calculated Risks - Traveling is about risk, after all. Jumping on a bus to an unknown destination, talking to strangers in a bar, getting off the map. As a traveler, you can minimize problems by basic planning. Try to avoid arriving in places at night, have enough money with you to check into a hotel without going to an ATM when you arrive somewhere new, and don’t go off with your new friends if you have no idea how to get home.

8. Remember your dad warned you about walking down dark alleys?
So, do not walk around at night in dark areas such as unlit gardens or beaches, unless with a large group.

9. Country Law officers do not want tourists to ever be harassed or mistreated so don't hesitate to contact them if you feel you are being watched, stalked or singled out. They are there for your safety

10. Make friends with travelers as this is the best assurance of all.

So, the bottom line is Travel Safe, if you still feel confused go through the content once again and try to memorize the above tips & essentials as they will definitely help you in your safe journey.
