香港人很喜歡旅行，但假如係一個女仔想自己去旅行，都有一定既風險，想去旅行去得安心又開心，除左一般係人廣泛流傳的Top tips for safe travel 外，以下係第一次一個女生去旅行唔可以唔知既野！
1. 應慳則慳 應洗則洗
一個人去旅行，特別係窮學生，可能有時想慳多d錢，但一個人去到外地，有時有d錢係唔慳得，例如住Hostel定訓Sofa，或者去西歐定去東歐，可能有d選擇係會增加成個trip既旅費，但如果下下出街都要提心吊膽，咁去個旅行都唔會玩得暢快！即係老土d講句，要錢定要命?
2. 睇睇睇評論
無論最後選擇住Hostel定訓Sofa，一定要認真睇下d評論，見到個Hostel好高分唔代表一定好好，記住望下有幾多個人俾ratings! 例如Hostel A有99分，但得1個人俾分，而Hostel B得95分，但佢有100個人俾分。咁可能Hostel B會比Hostel A更可靠，起碼咁多人住過佢個評分都仲係咁高！而且睇下d人既評語，等自己有多d心理準備！
3. 萬事俱備
未出發前記住confirm好住宿，睇定點由機場/火車站去住既地方，去Google Map印定需要既地圖，有時間仲可以跟Google Map d實境圖試下行一次，等自己腦海有d印象到時會行d咩路，咁就唔怕迷路啦！可以睇定1間後備Hostel，假如本身既住宿有問題，去到都唔駛太傍惶！
4. 緊急電話
第一個緊急電話係當地既緊急電話，好多地方都可以打112，但最好出發前Check清楚！第二個係你屋企人既電話，即使平時可能係入開中文名，去旅行之前最好改一改做簡單的英文字，如Mom， Dad， Emergency Contact…Touchwood你有意外，外國人不懂中文都可以聯絡你的屋企人！
5. 切忌浮誇
雖然去旅行想影靚相，著靚d d相又好睇d，但著得越靚就越花招枝展，吸引左d壞人向你打主意！平平實實，俾人覺得你無乜錢，自然壞人都費事打你主意！仲有現金要分開袋，有人鐘意收係鞋、襪入面，外國d女仔鐘意放係bra入面，咁想放邊就隨個人喜好啦！
Many people like traveling. However, if you are a girl, and you are traveling alone, especially for your first time, there are certain risks that we have to bear. Other than those common tips you can find online, the following are some tips that a girl should know when she’s traveling alone for the first time in her life!
1. Safety is your Number 1 priority!
Especially when students are traveling alone, many travelers want to save as much money as they can. But when you are alone, sometimes you can’t risk your life over money. For example, whether you are staying in a hostel or doing couch-surfing, or you are planning to go to Western-Europe or Eastern-Europe. Though sometimes these tiny decisions can make a huge difference for your travel budget, if you have to worry too much every time you go out, how can you enjoy your trip? In the end, which is more important: your life or your money?
2. Take reviews seriously!
No matter you choose to live in a hostel or do couchsurfing, you have to read the reviews carefully. A high rating in a hostel doesn’t mean it’s a really good one. For example, Hostel A has 99% but there’s only 1 person doing the review, whereas Hostel B has 95% only but there’re 100 people reviewing. Probably Hostel B will be more reliable, at least there are so many people stayed there and the ratings are still that high. Also read reviews seriously, so as to give yourself some idea what kind of situation you are going to face.
3. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best!
Confirm your accommodation before your departure; check how you could get to the place from the airport/train station. Google map can be a really helpful tool! Print out all the maps that you need, and if you have time, follow the ‘street-view’ of google map to walk virtually to your destination, so you will have some rough idea how you will get there! Research for a spare hostel, just in case there’s some problem with the hostel you were planning to stay, you still have an emergency place to stay in!
4. Emergency number!
The first emergency number is the local emergency contact. 112 is applicable in many countries, but better check it once again before leaving! The second emergency number is the number of your family. Maybe you used to have their numbers in your own language in your mobile, but before you leave your country, better change it to some simple English words like ‘Mom’, ‘Dad’, or even ‘Emergency Contact’. Touchwood if you have any accident, people can try to reach your family.
5. Stay low profile!
When we are traveling, of course we would like to dress nicely so that we can take beautiful picture as memory. Yet the more glamorous you appear, the more you are trying to tempt the bad people! Remember to separate the money you brought with you, some people like to put under the shoes, some put inside their socks, some girls like to put inside their bra…etc. it’s up to you where you feel comfortable to put!
