    Solo travel

    Travel safely on your own

    Travelling alone is liberating and rewarding — as long as you remember a few key rules. With these tips you can enjoy your trip safely.

    Share your location

    Always tell someone where you are. Use Google Maps or WhatsApp live location sharing with a trusted person.

    Keep valuables safe

    Use a money belt or hidden pockets. Keep copies of your passport and insurance in the cloud and separate from the originals.

    Trust your instincts

    If something feels off, leave. Avoid dark alleys at night and stay aware of your surroundings.

    Research the destination

    Find out which areas to avoid, local emergency numbers and the nearest embassy before you travel.

    Stay in social accommodation

    Hostels and guesthouses are great places to meet other travellers — choose places with good reviews.

    Get comprehensive insurance

    Make sure your insurance covers what matters for solo travellers: evacuation, theft and cancellations.
