Being a Pakistani girl, you must
have experienced times when you had to shun down your travel plans just because
your parents think ‘it is unsafe for females’ to travel alone! Be assured, you
are not the only one who have been talked down on how dangerous it is for girls
to travel alone, especially in a country like Pakistan! However, gone are the
days when females gave up their opportunities for unseen dilemmas! Thanks to
the advent of e-commerce and wireless technologies, things are now more
transparent and manageable than were ever before. All you need to do is act
smart and plan ahead to overcome any unforeseen events during your travel! Have
a look at the checklist that Jovago Pakistan
has compiled to ensure your safe and secure travel!
1. Do a thorough research on your destination!
Remember, most of the times girls
fail to get permission for their travel not because it is unsafe but because
they fail to provide specificities of their plan. Just having a destination in
mind without any complementarities planned is simply not enough! Think of it as
your college research project, you might have to start researching for it weeks
or probably months in advance.
2. Make your travel insurance handy!
It is always a better idea to be
safe than to be sorry! It is ok to spend some extra bucks on your safety and that of your belongings to avoid any
mishaps during your travel. Having an assurance that your belongings are secure
gives you a sense of confidence which makes your travel smooth, swift and
hassle free.
3. Meet a lot of people but trust just a few!
The old saying that you recognize
your friends and foes during travel holds as true today as it did years ago.
Travel is indeed the best time to judge a person but don’t forget that even you
are under watch by people around you. Never accept any eatery or drinks by
people you don’t know or you don’t trust. It is always a better idea to shed
some extra bucks to purchase your own food no matter how pocket friendly it
might seem to share your food!
4. Never put all your
cash in one place!
The golden rule of ‘never put all
your eggs in one basket’ is most applicable during your travel! Spreading out
your cash is like spreading out your risk. It is always a good idea to put some
of your cash in different pockets of every bag that you are carrying so that
losing any of your bag doesn’t mean that your left penny less. In addition to
this, further secure your travel by carrying some plastic money. Call your
hotels and trip planners in advance to ensure that they do accept the cards
that you are carrying.
