I like travelling very much.
if i have enough money i would travel around the world,this is my biggest dream since i was a little girl.i like to do things alone.i think you can be free to do anything if you do things all by yourself and also it will improve your capacity.Have you ever realized that when you are with someone you will depend on them and won't try your best.
i enjoy the feelings to be alone,but i dare not to travel alone.you know there are so many bad people in the world you never know when you will run into one.it is dangerous.can you offer me a perfect advise?Thank you!

My sister is about 5'2" and 100 lbs soaking wet and she has traveled the world alone and not run into any problems. She has been to places as far away as Russia and had a great time. I think as long as you are careful and think before you act that traveling alone can be pretty cool.

I traveled alone around the eastern US in my early 20s. As long as you take precautions for your safety, you should be okay. I always made sure I had my cell phone with me and it was charged. I would call in to a friend or family member ever so often so they'd have a general idea of where I was.

My doors were always locked and windows up or nearly up. I traveled roads that had a lot of traffic (no deserted backroads for me) and would only stop if the place was well-lit and had a lot of people around. I kept snacks and drinks in a cooler in my car so I didn't have to stop that often; I only stopped to refuel and use the restroom.

yes, I think there is nothing wrong to travel alone because I always do travel alone but only for Asian Country.

I do know of some female friends who travel alone and not always to those traditionally safe countries. These girls have trekked through eastern Europe alone and also countries such as Thailand, Cambodia and some rarely heard of islands in the Pacific. They did not face any problems.

I think the most important thing is to stay alert, do your homework and avoid dangerous areas. If you are staying in a hotel alone, it's worth locking the doors and windows. Alternatively, you could stay in a hostel. Personally I tend to feel safer when there're other people around.
