A4 #JAchat I get a local SIM card so I can always use Google Maps, Uber and call emergency numbers if needed. I avoid areas known to be dangerous - just listen to what the locals say!

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @jettingaround @CharlesMcCool @coastalspc @fknightevents Yes, higher expenses are definitely a big con. So much cheaper if you can share accommodation expenses. #JAChat

A4. To feel safe when I travel solo, I check in w people and let them know where I am and also trust my instinct when there. #JAchat #solotravel

replying to @jettingaround @jettingaround @mylestotravel A3. Study Abroad in Beijing! Not as solo as some people because I was still in a class environment but being with people I'd never met before is as close as I've gotten, lol. #JAChat #solotravel

replying to @suitcasenall @suitcasenall I wish everyone was like my long-time friend who I basically trade candids with throughout the entire trip ON TOP of any planned shoots -- photography is a highlight of traveling for various travel partners I've had, but she's the only one who did that. #jachat #solotravel

A3. Nice, France for a race. Since I'd been to Nice several times, it wasn't about siteseeing, so it was fine. All I had to worry about was navigating the race. #jachat

replying to @jettingaround @jettingaround @suitcasenall A4: Always make sure you know local emergency numbers (police, local hospitals, etc.) and have a plan for how you can contact loved ones. Hopefully you will never need it, but better safe than sorry #JAChat

@jettingaround @suitcasenall A4. I always travel with international internet or get a local sim card. The only location I've felt unsafe was Belize City. Not a nice place to visit, especially in the dark.

replying to @Claudioula @Claudioula Yeah, I'm way too paranoid for that. I think I've done it once, in Oslo, and that was probably a fluke. Being in Oslo AND handing my camera over. I'm really protective. I can't even do tripod and remote. #jachat

#jachat A4: the same stuff i do when I'm around my hometown alone. Knowledge is power. Know the areas, know how to get from a to b, and dont walk down side streets in the dark.

A3: My first #solotrip in a while was to #Germany last year. It was great to explore the #christmasmarkets, shops and little mountain inns of #Thuringia at my own pace. I was working and could meet up with friends, so it was the best of both worlds. #JAChat

replying to @LixHewett @Claudioula Also, if I'm self-conscious about making people I know stop for photos, asking a stranger to take multiple shots multiple times until there's one I really like is OUT. #jachat

A5: Staying at hostels and joining group tours help with the loneliness. You meet people but your not committed to staying with them the whole trip. Via @suitcasenall #solotravel #JAchat

replying to @jettingaround @jettingaround @suitcasenall A4. Minimalism is your friend when you're on your own. Less to keep track of, less to get lost, less to get stolen. Plus, minimalism in your wardrobe (solid colors, etc) to avoid any cultural misunderstandings. #JAchat #solotravel

A4. No flashy jewelry. Being aware of surroundings. A x-body bag. Clothes that don't draw negative/unnecessary attention. #JAChat
