🛡 Solo Safety Essentials
📍 Share your itinerary: WhatsApp your hotel names, addresses and daily plans to family before each day. Check in by 10pm daily.
📱 Always have data: Buy local SIM or eSIM on Day 1. Google Maps offline, translation app, insurance app. Save Indian Embassy number.
💳 Split your money: Card in wallet, emergency cash in bag, backup card in hotel safe. Never carry everything together.
🚕 Use apps for transport: Grab (SE Asia), Bolt (Europe), Uber (global). Never unmarked taxis alone at night.
🏨 Stay social: Hostel common rooms, walking tours, cooking classes and Couchsurfing meetups turn solo into social. You are never really alone.
🪪 Photocopy documents: Scan passport, visa, insurance to Google Drive. Email yourself copies. Keep one photocopy separate from originals.
