Introduction

The 21st century has given rise to a number of clichés, among which the world has gotten smaller is a popular one. And this is because of the rise in methods of transport, with which we can zip from one corner of the earth to the other, with lots of ease and with just a hitch of our carpet bags on our shoulders.

Once upon a time, just going outside your city walls are your city limits and boundaries was fraught with peril. One never knew whether you would come back again safely, because you were going into strange territory. And it was always the menfolk who tried this brave adventure into the unknown. The womenfolk stayed at home.

However, as time went by, womenfolk also began to get more peripatetic, especially if you read about the Widow of Bath in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, who was on a pilgrimage to Canterbury and had managed to visit Jerusalem, in those medieval times! She must have been a really brave and intrepid soul to have embarked on such an adventure in such lawless times.

The 21st century may be more law-abiding, but even then, a single woman going off all on her own, on her ownsome is a safety hazard. In most cases, she may go off and survive her trip without any wrinkles or tough spots, but on the other hand, there is a chance that she may face some problems – physical and mental, just because she is a woman on her own.

This book is going to give you a lot of tips and techniques, based on my experience as a peripatetic female traveling alone all over the compass, as well as common sense tips, which can help add to your safety. Especially when you are a single woman traveling to an unknown or unknown spot on the globe, all alone.
