Ultimately, our instincts as human beings exist for a reason. If you’re experiencing internal alarm bells about a person or situation, it’s best to trust that and make decisions accordingly.
Avoid letting your phone battery die
While you’re on a solo trip, your phone is literally going to be your lifeline. It will allow you to search for various locations by opening maps, hail an Uber, or even alert the local authorities, if push comes to shove. Though none of this can happen if you’re out and your phone battery dwindles down to zero.
Whenever you’re traveling, it’s always a good idea to carry chargers and power banks on your person. If you don’t have immediate access to an electrical outlet, then your power banks can get a good charge on your phone.
Avoid protests and demonstrations
No matter where you are in the world, it’s generally best to avoid areas where locals are gathering to protest. Depending on your language skills, it can be difficult to decipher what the group is supporting or railing against.
