Here some safety tips, so you can enjoy your solo holiday to the fullest. They are not only useful for solo female travellers but to everyone traveling,
* Make a local friend – it’s always a great idea to know someone from the area, they’ll let you know the popular spots to chill, the great places to eat and the areas you should avoid!
* Make sure a family member or close friend has a copy of your itinerary and have a 24 or 48-hour check in set, so they are alerted if something does go wrong.
* Make sure you have travel insurance – make your insurance card your phones screensaver, in case of an accident it will be visible to stranger or hospital personal.
* Keep hardcopies and take photos of all important documents (passport, travel insurance, ID, reservations/tickets) and keep them in a dropbox or secure e-mail, in case your computer or phone or documents are stolen.
* Don’t keep all your cash on you – there are ATMs and banks in Cabarete, if you need a large sum of cash you can take money out if you have a passport on you.
* Carry a whistle, pepper spray or another form of safety device on you when going out alone.
* Wear a fake wedding ring if you are avoiding unwanted male attention. You don’t have to wear it, but sometimes it’s helpful to be able to slip it on.
* Trust your instincts – if you’re feeling uncomfortable, leave. Use the term WE or US (even if you are alone, make up a significant other or a friend who is waiting for you to return to your hotel or the beach or the restaurant next door), don’t feel bad turning down offers to be shown hidden local gems.
