    Excellent tips. Solo travel when young, yes definitely stay in hostels, I agree. I met many people the world over who have remained my friends for life and this has also meant other of places to stay for free too. As I've got older, I love my guest house room and being able to shut out other travellers! I have also found as I'm now an older female that I'm largely invisible ( it's a thing the world over we over 50s know well) and I rarely get hassled any more. In fact I'm more likely to be offered help, it's honestly liberating. Vive La Wrinkles! I've travelled solo for 35 years. It's forces me to be outgoing, confident and highly organised, none of which comes naturally to me. Biggest tips for women solo travellers: 1. Dress respecting the local culture that you are, after all, there to experience. A tan will come, you don't actually need to flash your tits n vagazzle in the middle of downtown Hanoi or Nairobi. 2. If your gut is telling you it doesn't feel right to go somewhere, trust that instinct, it is usually spot on. I learnt this one the hard way and definitely have had some close calls. 3. Hide money like he suggested, I totally agree with him. Your bra is such a good place to slip money into! Or sew a pocket inside the leg of pants, or inside jacket lining. I've even sewn a pocket onto knickers! .. just remember to take the money out before washing!.. I even know someone who went a step further using a condom and her ..."imagination"! The world is incredible, I hope you get to experience it again soon.
  • Solo travel is way much better than any other travel because of freedom, as for money I use 2 wallets, 1- the broke wallet I keep low money for a day and recharge, 2- the second wallet has credit cards etc and never leaves the safebox at the hotel, it's always good and always works, whenever anything happens you can just say ( it's my last day I spent all my money )

Or at least be aware of the risk of tracking
