Staying Safe as a Female Solo Traveller 🧳✈️

🗣️ When being approached / getting hit on / someone starting a convo with you 🗣️

✅ “I’m waiting for my family / boyfriend / friends to pick me up”

✅ “Sorry, I have a boyfriend and he is coming to get me now”

✅ “I’m leaving tonight / tomorrow” ❣️

✅ “I’m here to visit my family / friends / boyfriend”

✅ “I’ve been here many times”

✅ “No, I do not have IG/FB/WA/Tele/line/snapchat etc”

🔐 When in a convo with strangers, never share 🔐

❌ Your hotel / room info

❌ Your personal information / social media

❌ Your exact itinerary / plans

❌ Your real name & job

🪭 How not to tourist 🪭

⚠️ Never be too obvious that you’re checking directions

⚠️ Always act like you know where you’re going

⚠️ Always walk just a bit faster like you have somewhere to be

⚠️ Do not smile at strangers or take anything from them

⚠️ Only take transport from reliable sources like Grab, best not to take cabs in general

⚠️ Check in daily with your family & friends and share locations at all times

🟢 Hotel Safety 🟢

🔆 Bring a camera detector to detect hidden cameras

🔅 Bring a portable travel door lock to further secure hotel doors in place

🔆 Always put a chair / anything heavy against the door / put a mug on the door handle so that if intruders do come in, you will hear it

🔆 Identify items you can use as a weapon in case of an emergency / be familiar with the hotel phone and where is the front desk button
