    Such a well written post! It is not fair but as women we are more likely to get targeted, attacked or robbed and that is something we should take into consideration. When planning a solo travel as a female, I think it is important to really think ahead and minimize our risks in any way we can. Your post was very helpful in that it stressed how we should never relax so much that we forget about safety precautions. I like that you shared your Iceland experience, pointing out that even in the safest country in the world one can be a victim of a crime if one makes oneself an easy target. You also showed that this can be a complex question. What is safe for someone might not be safe for somebody else. Some people might feel very uncomfortable having to cover their hair or having to be dressed very conservatively- and if somebody feel so extremely uncomfortable or preoccupied with a certain location perhaps it is best to look for some other? As you showed in this post, there are many factors to be taken into consideration. Like with any travel, you have to ask yourself what country is the best fit for you and what do you really want to see and experience.

      Hi Ivana, I agree—it’s not fair that we are more likely to be targeted…but until that is not the case, we need to stay vigilant. And I agree with everything you said. Thank you for sharing!

  2. This is such a well-written article Kiki! Thanks for sharing – this topic is constantly coming up in conversations I have about solo travel.

We just returned from a bucket list sailing trip around the British Virgin Islands with @themooringsvacations — and it was an absolute dream come true!

If you aren’t looking for a vacation from the kids but from the cooking, cleaning, and responsibilities of everyday life, this is your sign!

Four moms, four kids, a crewed catamaran with a gourmet chef, a stewardess, and a captain that cook, clean and sail for you during 7 days of adventure, turquoise water, white sanded beaches, and quality time with your friends and little ones—it was heaven!

Check out my story highlight “BVIs ⛵️” for all of the fun from our trip! And stay tuned for an in-depth blog post with tips on sailing with kids + our complete itinerary 🏝️
