Like it or not, women have to take special precautions while traveling alone.
不管你乐不乐意，女生在单独旅行时必须格外警惕。
If you’re about to embark on a solo trip or are thinking about traveling alone (Go! Go!), here are nine tips to make your trek the best it can be:
如果你计划独自一人开始旅行，或者有这样的打算，那么这9条小贴士可以让你的旅行尽可能完美：
1.Befriend local women.
结交当地女性朋友
Whether you’re in the market, on a bush taxi or sleeping in a hostel, make friends with the women who live there. Women around the globe have a sort of informal pact; we all watch out for each other.
无论你是在当地市场、合乘计程车、还是在旅社中，你都最好能和当地的女生成为朋友。全世界的女生都有一条不成文的规矩：我们都会在路上照料彼此。
Even if you’ve only exchanged a smile with the woman sitting next to you, she’ll go out of her way to protect you if necessary.
即使你只是和坐在你旁边的女生交换了一个微笑，她也会在你需要的时候挺身而出。
This rule becomes even more important if you feel like you’re in danger; seek out the closest woman and stick to her like glue.
当你在危险之中更是如此;找一个最近的女生，像胶水一样粘着她吧。
2. Book a bed for the first night.
预定第一晚的住宿
After Day 1, I avoid making reservations whenever possible, to fully enjoy traveling by the seat of my pants. But for your first night, book a place to sleep in advance — preferably before you leave home.
我尽量不去做第一天的活动以外的预定，这样我就能自己凭感觉去旅行了。不过第一个晚上还是要事先预定好晚上的住处——最好在离家之前就做好预定。
This will give you peace of mind, help you get over the first-day-of-travel jitters, and give you a goal and destination when you arrive in-country.
这样你心里就不会有什么牵挂，不用在旅行第一天有无谓的担心，另外也能给刚到达的你一个目标。
3. Only bring what you can easily carry.
只带方便携带的物品
It’s always a good idea to keep your backpack light, but this becomes even more important when you’re traveling alone, simply because you don’t have anyone to help you.
