Hi! I have the same question specifically about Dubai. Is it safe for women to travel there? I work for a Dubai property developer and will probably be sent there soon by my company. I'm not really afraid of going, but was just wondering if there are any specific things I should avoid doing or any seemingly 'strange' behaviours towards women I should expect. It would be great if anyone could give me some general, practical tips. Thanks!

Get to know the countries you're travelling to, particularly local customs such as how women are expected to dress and behave. Respecting those customs will help take you a long way towards gaining respect in return as a foreigner.

I also found it very helpful to read current travel boards such as Thorntree by Lonely Planet to find up-to-date information about everything, including safety.

If you're considering a country with poor tourist infrastructure or one where you don't think you'd be comfortable travelling alone, a tour can be great. Small groups that focus on using local resources can give you the best of both worlds...you make new friends and your plans are taken care of, but it doesn't feel like a standard canned bus tour.

Also, ping your friends to see if they know anyone in the countries you want to visit. They might be very willing give you great tips, show you around, or even provide a place to stay. I planned a 6-month solo trip that ended up with friends of friends doing just that in some of the destinations I was most nervous about!

Hi All,

will be traveling to Tokyo shortly!

One of my friend warned me about Tokyo Airport Taxi scams. People at Airport Taxi counter will try to persuade you to get a luxury taxi. Normally they play dumb by trying to act that they don't understand English

is it true or not?

Thanks

The first thing to do is to decide where to go and for how long. Then should do little research for the destination regarding its environment, laws and food.

According to these factors one should start packing and should also opt for Backpacker Insurance .
This would avoid all uncertainties, and one can easily have safe journey.
