Traveling In Australia Is Safe For Females

By: Phoenix Arrien

I have never had a problem while travelling Australia as a single female. This country is one of the safest in the world - bar the wildlife. However many people do feel uneasy in strange places, so there are a few things we can do while enjoying this grand land to help us feel more relaxed while travelling solo.

At your accommodation:

• Check in under your last name and first initial only

• Ask if you room has a deadbolt

•   Request the bellman to accompany you to your room

• Keep your hotel door locked at all times and never open it to a stranger

Away from the hotel

•  Be constantly aware of your surroundings and focus on the present, not where you will be that night

•  If you are being followed in a street or parking lot, bang on cars to set off alarms

•  Keep hands free and not tangled in bags

• Ask for help. Australia has one of the world’s friendliest populations.
