i don't feel safe traveling alone, but if i were to, i would need to have my phone, cash, cards, id, and safety devices/self-defense tools.
knowing which areas are definitely safe for women from those who have previously traveled there
maybe a tracker for family to know exactly where i am
a trusted person in the area to know where i am
standard safety items such as a panic alarm and other defense items (depending on what is legal in that area)
some sort of weapon, rape alarm, pepper spray
knowing there are people i can meet up with in a safe group rather than just the unknown. knowing there are safe spaces to store my personal belongings.
some kind of legal weapon
access to wi-fi, maps, recommended places to go that people can vouch for being safe or the opposite, like for example if a club is known for spiking drinks, maybe there’s a review section that advises you not to go there. rape alarm. a guidebook with emergency contacts for each country, like who to contact. padlock. charger.
phone, good maps app
pepper spray for emergencies
phone, charger, good signal
