Traveling solo as a female business professional can be empowering, but it’s important to stay vigilant and take proactive steps to ensure your safety. Here’s how you can navigate airports, public transportation, hotels, and employer policies to protect yourself.
Airports: Stay Alert and Prepared
When at the airport, always park in well-lit areas and stay on marked pathways to terminals. Use female-only security screening lines if available, and keep your belongings close. Download airport apps for real-time updates and know the location of security personnel and information desks.
Public Transportation: Be Cautious and Informed
Use public transportation apps to check schedules and avoid long waits in isolated areas. Choose well-lit stations and stops, and if available, opt for women-only carriages or compartments. Stay near other passengers and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Hotels: Prioritize Your Security
When booking a hotel, choose one with strong security measures. Request a room on higher floors and ensure your room has a peephole, secure locks, and a direct line to the front desk. Use the main entrance and avoid sharing your room number publicly. If possible, select hotels that offer women-only floors or areas.
