Stay safe
Having fun is important, but staying safe is essential. If you ever feel uncomfortable or in any danger, get yourself out of that situation immediately. This means that you shouldn’t hesitate to take a taxi to your hotel at night. If you make some friends along the way, don’t let them pressure you into doing things you don’t feel like doing.
Traveling alone is exactly about freedom and doing what you want, so if they want to go to a club and drink, and you don’t feel like it, turn back. Additionally, safety means that somebody should know where you are at all times, in case something does happen. So, keep your friends and family informed about your plans and locations. Just keep in mind that if you live alone, you shouldn’t post anything about your trips on social media while you’re away, since you don’t really want any potential burglar to know that you’re not home.
