Travel Tips - Women

Personal safety – hitchhiking is risky. Avoid wandering around unfamiliar areas on your own, especially after dark. If you require assistance, ask couples or older people rather than young (particularly groups) men. Without being too rigid, plan your itinerary and transport to avoid spending excessive periods at transport terminals.

Hygiene - if visiting more remote areas, ensure you have adequate supplies of feminine hygiene products, including for yeast infections.

Clothing – some places expect women to dress conservatively. This may mean wearing a scarf, long skirt and keeping your arms covered. Know what is expected by local customs and mores. Err on the side of caution, not confrontation.

Accommodation – find out if there is a YWCA or an equivalent organization with accommodation. Ensure you can lock your room from the inside. If you have to share a room, guard your valuables.
