Table of Contents:

Traveling is an exciting experience that can generate enriching experiences, but when it comes to a solo trip, it is important to take precautions to ensure your safety during the trip. We share with you some tips if you are planning one.

“Life is a journey, traveling safely is living twice”

Research your location:

While traveling alone is an empowering experience that can transform your perspective on life, you should know what to expect at your destination to minimize risks and enjoy it with peace of mind.

  • What should you take into account?
  1. Search for reviews: Whether you're looking for accommodation, restaurants or entertainment, check out sites with history, reviews and comments from other visitors to get a perspective of previous experiences.
  2. Download your Maps: Google Maps offers the option of having maps without the need for data. If you don't know the neighborhoods, you can check out high-traffic areas, as well as photographs of your surroundings.
  3. Check with locals: When you arrive at your destination, don't be afraid to talk to authorities or community members to ask for advice and learn about areas you should avoid.
  4. Choose hotels safely: While you can opt for an AirBnb, hotels with a reception have better security protocols, as well as recommendations about your lodging area.
  5. Request your Travel Assistance Plan: It is better to prevent and travel abroad calmly. BMI We have various plan options according to the duration and/or frequency of your planning.
