Great post. I had two female friends who traveled alone in Europe this summer. Nothing happened to them luckily, but they could have definitely benefited from this advice.

Good point about maps and guidebooks – there’s no better tell-tale sign that you’re a tourist than walking around with a map! Much better to check directions in a less public place.

Super post! I totally agree with acting like you live here and own the place even if you can’t speak the language or you look foreign. One thing I never do is walk around with a map (or guidebook) in my hand or read one while I’m sitting on a bus or train. If I need to figure something out I pop into a cafe or restaurant and check my directions with my map and the help of wait staff.

Thanks, Sandy… Hope you’ll have fun backpacking! I don’t think it’ll be especially dangerous though – as long as you’re not planning on doing anything dangerous How safe it is obviously depends on where you’re going as well.

Thanks for the link to Tracfone by the way. Never heard about it before. Sounds great!

Awesome awesome article! I am going backpacking across Europe with my cousin (both of us females) and I am very very excited!! However, we understand that it’s going to be very dangerous. One thing that we found that is gonna be great for my family to keep in touch and no spend too much on minutes. With a Tracfone, you can make outgoing calls to foreign countries for the price of local calls. Check out http://www.auristechnology.com/tracfoneild/countries.asp for the over 100 available international destinations.

Excellent advice and tips!

By the way, are you the Erica who asked if the photos on my blog were taken by us or from a stocksite? Answer: 99% are personal photographs taken by me or my husband. Glad you enjoy.
