4 Essentials Solo Women Travellers Must Carry With Them

Every woman has at least once dreamed of having coffee in a cute roadside cafe in Paris by herself or tanning under the beautiful sun in Goa. Going on a solo trip is something that all women should experience once in their life. However, travelling in general is very hectic and when you are all on your own it comes with more complications. It may be difficult but not impossible, with the right tools and tips any woman can easily plan a solo trip. Here is a list of travel essentials for solo woman travellers.

Carry Documentation

It is extremely important to carry proper documentation regardless of where you are travelling to. Especially, if you are travelling internationally, carrying documents like your passport, tickets, visa, other identifications, hotel booking ID, etc. is crucial. It is very easy to lose these documents if you do not keep them neatly organised. You need to have all of these at hand at all times whenever you are travelling and remember to check each piece of documentation frequently to make sure nothing is lost. Carrying all documentation in a folder and keeping them categorically organised would be of great help.

Safety First

It is essential to be alert and aware of your circumstances as a solo traveller regardless of your gender. But it is especially of utmost importance to be alert while travelling alone if you are a woman. Make sure to plan an itinerary in such a way that you avoid going out alone in isolated places during the evening and night. Avoid travelling via empty lanes and roads at night as it can be very unsafe. Remember to carry some form of protection, be that a pepper spray or a small knife. However, if you have a sharp weapon you cannot travel in an aeroplane. Hence, you can buy a small knife for your protection once you reach your destination.

Hygiene Products

It is easy to find shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste and other basic hygiene products everywhere. But feminine hygiene products are not easily available everywhere. So, it is important to carry your own set of feminine hygiene products like sanitary napkins, tampons, disposable bags, and toilet seat covers as you travel.

Carry a small bag with all your feminine hygiene products along with a few extra sets of underwear in your handbag, so that you can easily access them when inc case of need.
