Always walk on the opposite side of the sidewalks. No one can jump from behind and take you in their car by surprise
Okay. That's paranoid.
Actually , waking away mid sentence is great technique.
Very helpful thank you❤
How do you verify no child locks on vehicle doors.
I commute by bus in the states, I always take the aisle seat.This prevents you from being trapped by someone.
Here's my safety tip…… don't go to Mexico. I've heard so many awful things about that country that I wouldn't go anywhere near the place.
Mexico sounds too stressful for me
😊
Hi Maddie, watching this 2 years later…i would seriously suggest when getting a taxi, please DON'T sit in the back seat. I suggest always sit next to the driver near the controls, also you can quickly see if the car has central locking, keep your car door open until you're confident this driver is ok and not creepy.
Also please make a mental note of the taxi NUMBER PLATE and text it to your friend or family.
There are cases of
taxi drivers with fake ID cars displayed. Your video is great, happy and safe travelling Maddie, thanks..👍🌅✨🧡
weapons, valuables, should always be able to be tied around your wrist. there are cellphone strings that are long enough to go around your wrist. Women's hands are relatively weak, so weapons are more likely to be used against us than by us, because the criminal simply takes it out of our hand. a hand wrap won't be enough. you need it tied around your wrist or some other part of your body.
always always have a boyfriend! (obviously not literally, but when men ask say you have MANY boyfriends). I don't drink so its very nice not to be tempted when going out to get drunk but when I did drink I only ordered from the bartender, watched them make the drink, and if I got the bottle I asked for the bottle cap back and then held it on top of the bottle while I danced!
I carry a whistle around my neck.
Stay safe ❤
this gave me anxiety for 5 years ahead
I agree (and do most of these things as well) Almost every taxi or uber I get into I tell them my “husband” insists that I send him a photo of the driver and the car because he’s very protective (I am a fellow solo traveler, no husband at all 😂) No one has ever said no and are always agreeable to my request. I also get the drivers talking about themselves. I learn something new and never have to reveal much about myself – win/win 😊
what are situations you have experienced and how did you cope with it afterwards?
Very smart tips. Something’s I never even thought of. Thanks
I travelled the world during the 1970's, must admit I visited some dodgy places but always steered clear of trouble. I see you are very dependant upon your phone, many places don't have mobile phone coverage so I assume you only travel to populated areas?
Mobile phones were not around in the 1970's and I'm very pleased that was the case, I can't imagine having to stay in contact with others whilst travelling. I would go for months without contact, only when I returned home in the UK would anyone know I'd even been away. Times change though and I agree a mobile phone could be useful, enjoy your travels! 🙂
