The Dhaka Times Desk As a girl, you may go for a trip alone for the first time in your life. You may be quite worried about it. But don't worry. Even as a girl, you can travel alone in foreign countries. But for that you need to know some things.
Although there is a trend of traveling alone abroad, in our country, especially girls, when they hear the name of going somewhere alone, everyone gets shocked. At one time the definition of spinning was different. It was once customary to go out in a group with family or friends. But now the days have changed. To spend some time alone, to get to know yourself, the new generation is recently opting for the 'Ekla Chalo' approach. However, it is good to know how safe it is for girls, or whether it is necessary to be proficient in certain subjects when traveling alone.
Taking less stuff
If you go somewhere, wear different clothes, dress appropriately and take pictures. But for that, you have to carry a lot of things in a bag. If you go to the mountains, it will be difficult to carry that heavy bag up or down. So instead of taking a trolley or a suitcase, it is better to take a bag that can be carried on both shoulders. Moreover, it is better not to take more than necessary items.
Be aware of your surroundings
No matter where you go, be aware of who or who is roaming around you. Avoid fellow travelers who are too friendly or who don't talk at all. Never leave your belongings anywhere else while traveling by train. Even if you go to the toilet, you should try to keep your money bag or important documents with you.
Find out
Be it in the country or abroad, no matter where you go to travel, just watch YouTube videos about that place. Especially: It is important to know the history of the region to get a proper idea about the culture and tradition there. Moreover, know what places to visit or visit there and plan in advance.
Make photocopies of documents
If you go out, you must carry your original identity card with you. It is also advisable to keep multiple photocopies of each document. Carry duplicate copies of hotel, plane or train tickets. You can leave one at home if you want.
Don't tell everyone everything
It is wise not to share the details of where you are going or what you are doing on social media. Never share your personal information with someone even if you meet someone new while traveling, it can lead to problems. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
