So, celebrate your worth and realize your true potentials. Don’t let anyone cut your wings, but you do break all the rings; that stop you from what you want to do, from what you wish to achieve. Let the desires be expressed, and actions be taken to fulfill them. Don’t let anyone else do it for you, pave the way to happiness yourself. Let it be your journey, and go solo if that’s what you want (literally) and book your flights to India from the USA to the earliest.

Yes, if you are someone who wants to travel the world, if you are a backpacker at heart who wants to go out on adventurous expeditions, but have most times curbed this desire just because people have advised you so; then it’s time to ignore such words of wisdom from this very second. Listed below, we have some common pieces of advice that you should be never paying heed to at all –

How then are you going to experience the true flavors of a foreign land? This advice, is not limited to us women alone, so pass the real piece of suggestion to your fellow males too- You don’t have to listen to those, who don’t understand what it is to travel and explore new places. Now, we are not telling you to overindulge in the junk sold at unhygienic road shacks. Be careful, and pick the right places, that’s all.

DON’T stay at Lesser Known Hotels:

Now this one is ironic, in general the advice would be to stay at off-beaten hotels in the outskirts, as they would be affordable. For women, the advice is turned around and the suggestion is to only opt for the popular and well-renowned hotels in the city center.

But why? Do we not have to save any money, even when we do have the option just in the way we have saved on flight ticket bookings? And well, if we are at a danger to stay at such lodgings, they why are men so safe, crimes could be committed against them as well. So go with your better understanding and choose a safe place by your own judgment.

In the same way you researched for the flight ticket deals on the internet. There are more people in the world who genuinely wish to help and host you with warmth, than those who would want to take advantage of you.

Some places are a complete NO for Women to travel to:

Most often women are specially advised to drop down their traveling plans if it concerns a trip to African and some Asian countries. Like surge of rape reports in India have made people weary of letting their daughters or partners travel to the country alone. However, as a modern day woman, you should make such a decision yourself. Someone else’s bad experiences cannot stop you from plunging into something that might turn out to be a cherishing experience for you. Also, unless you yourself see it upfront you can’t just rely on other people’s advice and miss out on an expedition you longed to make.
