Here’s what you need to know before traveling abroad solo.

Nikki Vargas, travel blogger at The Pin the Map Project, told BuzzFeed Life that her solo traveling began as a way to venture into the world alone with her thoughts. "One of the beautiful things about solo traveling is that you're living life on your terms. It's empowering to get to learn about yourself and what you want and do that against the backdrop of a beautiful country."
So we asked the women of BuzzFeed what they do to feel safe when they're traveling abroad. And while many of these tips are great for any solo traveler, regardless of gender, there are often real dangers that face a woman traveling alone that don't necessarily affect a man traveling alone to the same degree.
Sites like TripAdvisor, Hostelz, and Oyster often have reviews of both the actual hotel and the neighborhood it's in, so you can see which areas seem safe.
