Tips for Staying Safe While Travelling Alone

  • Research before you travel — know local customs and areas to avoid.

  • Choose accommodation wisely — reputable places with strong reviews from female travellers and 24-hour reception.

  • Share your itinerary with someone you trust and check in regularly.

  • Stay connected — mobile data, emergency numbers, and a charged phone or power bank.

  • Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, remove yourself from it.

  • Avoid oversharing your real-time location or solo status with strangers.

  • Dress appropriately for local customs to avoid unwanted attention.

  • Secure your valuables — copies of documents, anti-theft bags, low-key jewellery and electronics.

  • Arrive during daylight where possible, to get your bearings safely.

 

 

Radiant Wanderer safety and security tip for women travellers moving around in crowded places;

Dear Wanderers, loosing your things to thieves amd pickpocketers can really ruin your otherwise perfect vacation. Here is a tip to ensure that you increase your security when moving around im crowded streets or crowded places and no one steals your valuables.

 

PLEASE USE A SECURE CROSSBODY BAG!!

 

A crossbody bag is a simple and effective physical deterrent against opportunistic theft of your possessions. It changes how a bag is anchored and positioned and cannot easily be yanked off you because the strap runs across your torso therefore impossible for a thief to just grab and run without creating resistance and drawing public attention. It is unappealing to grab and run thiefs as they always target least resistance bags.

 

Wear your crossbody bag in front and shift the main pouch over your chest or stomach. You can also add a clip to your zipper to prevent someone from quietly unziping your bag while waking behind you.
