6 tips for women traveling alone

In English |There may be several reasons why you could travel alone.You may not be able to find an adequate travel companion or maybe, like me, you simply enjoy loneliness during your explorations.And why not?Without the needs of anyone else to worry, you control your itinerary: where and when you eat and sleep, how long you stay in a museum or cafeteria ... and it is much more likely that you know new and interesting friends on the way than ifYou were accompanied.

I have traveled to Italy, France, the Cook Islands in the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia and throughout the United States.Once I spent two months in France alone with Noelle, my Jack Russell Terrier, but we met another woman who was traveling alone from Los Angeles, Naomi and her dog, Seymour, so we had friends when we needed a company.

Of course, I have had some less wonderful experiences traveling alone, and I'm still learning to do it well.This summer, for example, I was in Italy, where I was glad to know that many hotels have rooms specifically for individual travelers, and I reserved one.I ended with a small individual bed in what seemed like a closet.I quickly discovered that it would be smarter to opt for described rooms as "double for individual use", which are bigger but not much more expensive.
