How Can I Stay Safe While Traveling Alone?

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS, AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO SAY NO

If something doesn't feel right, don't do it. Use your instincts to avoid potentially dangerous situations. Don't feel you have to say "yes" to the first person who offers you something, even at the expense of seeming rude. This is especially true for taxis; make sure you book through a reputable company and always ask for the price before you get in the car as many will try and rip tourists off.
