Tips To Increase Your Personal Safety When Traveling Alone

You already know that traveling alone can bring increased risks, which is part of why we advocate non-lethal self-defense tactics such as Fazer Pepper Spray Fog. However, that doesn't mean you should always avoid it. At Fazer Defense, we know that all too well. So follow these tips to boost your chances of having a safe and fun solo trip.

Blend In With Others

You probably already know that you should be aware of your surroundings when you are out alone. Did you also know that it's a good idea to try and blend in with them as much as possible? It's true. Drawing attention to yourself as an outsider can make you appear like an easy target for would-be thieves or attackers.

Resist the temptation to flash valuables when you are out. Instead, leave them home or lock them up in the hotel safe if that's an option.

Limit Social Media Posts

Posting your whereabouts and activities on social media is increasingly common, but sharing so much information with perfect strangers carries some risk. For example, you could inadvertently give a potential attacker your location or even information about when you plan to leave and where you are going next.

If you are going to share your location with anyone, try to limit that information to emergency contacts only. This way, someone you trust knows where you will be and when to expect you home.

Be Prepared To Respond

It's a good idea to have a plan in place just in case things go wrong. After all, even if you are extra careful, you may still find yourself facing a potentially dangerous situation. Pepper spray fog is an excellent tool to disable an attacker from a distance, giving you a chance to get to safety.
