Traveling alone can be a wonderfully freeing and fearless experience! I love wandering alone both domestically and internationally. You get to have new personal experiences, move at your own pace and grow as a person.
Must Read: Why This Hair Potion Is A Must-Buy
While I am all about women taking charge and heading out in search of discovery, I also want to make sure you realize how important it is to do your location research before you fly out. This week, I am highlighting some beautiful destinations that us ladies need to be especially alerted to when traveling. Enjoy responsibly!
Somalia
There are currently no U.S embassies in this country, so if you are an American traveler you will have no assistance to aid you. The United States government currently recommends that you avoid all travel here.
India
In light of recent rapes/ attempted sexual attacks, travel among women to India has dropped 30 percent earlier this year. A type of harassment called “Eve-Teasing” (cat calls and grouping) happens regularly here. If you must go it alone, dress modestly and wear a wedding band (even if you are single.)
Democratic Republic of The Congo
Some travelers to this destination have noted a need to bribe their way into and out of the country. Kidnappings and rapes routinely occur. I would not recommend traveling alone unless you have friends who already live or work there.
Dominican Republic
Already high in petty crimes, there have been increased reports of violent attacks on foreigners lately. When traveling here alone, avoid carrying valuables with you and pre-arrange a taxi or guide travel with your hotel concierge.
Georgia (not the USA state)
Georgia is a sovereign state located in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Currently Americans are forbidden from traveling on the passing that connects Russia and Georgia. A lot of violence remains in this area due to the Civil War it endured in the 1980s and 1990s.
Burundi
Bordered by Rwanda and Tanzania, this landlocked region has been in the midst of an ongoing Civil War since 1993. Bombings and kidnappings happen often. No need for you to be there.
