Staying safe while traveling takes preparation and thoughtfulness – especially for women. I like to think most people are well-meaning and want to help, but safety while traveling isn’t a game of chance.
The Biz Chicks recently invited me to talk on their blog talk radio show about how I stay safe while traveling. Business travel is a big part of my life and safety plays a starring role in almost every travel decision I make. Many of my safety tips come from personal experience but some come from thinking through worst case scenarios – and doing my best to avoid them.
Feel free to use these tips for travel safety for women as your own and add to the list in the comments section. The more we share, the safer we’ll all be – and that means we’ll have more fun traveling!
Travel Safety for Women Travelers
Here are a few tips for when you’re on your way to your destination:
Use covered luggage tags (so information isn’t easily accessible) and use a business card – not your personal home information.
Pay your Uber or taxi fare, pay digitally or if you need to pay cash, put your wallet away and close your bag before exiting the vehicle.
