How can girls ensure their own safety when traveling alone?

1. Believe in the power of intuition. If something or someone brings you an uneasy atmosphere, or even your intuition tells you that something is wrong, then leaving at once is the best choice. 2. Don't be afraid to refuse. Sometimes, there are drinks in bars and hotels. Especially in this case, don't be afraid to refuse. 3. Take less valuables in order to ensure your safety, it is recommended to take only a little cash, pay more by credit card and electronic payment, and take less valuables. 4. Ask for the opinions of local people. No one knows this better than people who live there all the year round. Make full use of the local network platform, or browse some tourist communities, and learn about the matters needing attention in your own tourist area, especially when traveling alone in this area for the first time. 5. Avoid exposure. You can refer to and even dress up as a local to blend in. In some countries, women can't dress casually and need to hide. 6. You'd better not go alone at night. In some countries, it is completely safe to walk alone at night. But in other cases, it can be dangerous. It's best to go out with someone at night and avoid those sparsely populated alleys. 7. Copying important files Although we always hope that nothing will happen, it is important to prepare for the worst. You'd better make a copy of some important documents, including your passport, ID card and so on, and put them in your carry-on luggage. In addition, it is best to take photos of all important files, save them on mobile phones and laptops, and upload them to a secure cloud server. 8. Know the local emergency telephone number. Before you leave, you'd better check the local emergency number online, or ask the front desk staff where you live. Of course, in the best case, you will never need it, but if you really need it, it will always help. 9. It is best to let friends/family know that you are making sure that someone (friends, family or other travelers) knows your itinerary and where you should be at any given time. Try not to "disappear" completely or for a long time. If you do change your plan, don't forget to let others know.
