Solo Travel Safety: Six tips for common sense self defense.
I usually write about solo travel safety from a prevention perspective. In case prevention isn’t possible, here are a few tips that I hope you’ll never have to use.

Going solo for the first time? Let’s talk.
Traveling solo is a fantastic experience. At least, it can be. But some people find the thought to be a bit daunting.
Let’s talk. While I obviously can’t guarantee that your trip will be fantastic, I can coach you on ways to make it so.
We meet over phone or, even better, using Skype with video as well. You prepare a few questions in advance so that I can be sure to address your concerns.

Email me with a couple of meeting options and your questions and I’ll get back to you promptly to schedule a meeting. The cost is $100 for an hour.
