Do you dream of traveling the world, but have a fear deep down that you may not feel safe, or that something bad will happen, when you begin your travels?

And if you’re a female, maybe this fear feels even more present for you?

And what if you're traveling solo?

Fear not!

In this podcast interview, Jeff interviewed Marisa to get the scoop on all the safety tips that female travelers should consider when planning, booking, arriving, and living in different countries all over the globe (many are applicable to men as well).

Marisa has traveled to over 75 countries, including solo traveling (or traveling with only other females) to countries such as Egypt, Serbia, Namibia, Panama, Cambodia, Jordan, Cuba, South Africa, Turkey, Laos, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and more.

Whether you’re traveling to Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, The Middle East, Asia, or anywhere in between…you don’t want to miss out on learning and applying these 12 safety tips to your future travels so you feel as safe as possible wherever you go.

And if you haven’t yet started living your digital nomad life, this episode can help you mentally prepare (and feel both excited and empowered!) to travel just about anywhere in the world (regardless of whether you’ve ever traveled before or not). 

Here are just a few examples of topics we covered in this episode:

🚨 A super important tip about what flights, trains or buses NOT to take to certain destinations

🚨 When to save money, and when you SHOULD pay more for your safety

🚨 Which situations are safest to book a hotel instead of an Airbnb 

🚨 How to pick safe taxi drivers so you don’t end up in a sketchy situation

🚨 When to walk alone in a foreign country, and when NOT to walk alone

🚨 What to wear (and not wear) in certain situations abroad

And for all of our men out there - as Jeff attests to in this episode, many of these safety tips are equally relevant for you! Plus, Marisa shared a little bonus about the craziest way her male friends have gotten taken advantage of while traveling as well.
