Take your cue from the local women you meet or see . If you see that women do not sit in restaurants alone or walk around alone after sundown , you shouldn't either . This advice is particularly important if you are traveling to a country with different cultural conventions . Although you may want to appear friendly , remember that in some places making eye contact or smiling at a man may be taken as a sign that you are interested in him . A good rule of thumb is to observe how men and women interact with each other in public and then do the same . Consider the way you dress . In most Western countries there are no dress restrictions for women . However , in many parts of the world there is a dress code that dictates how women must dress . For example , in many religious societies , women are expected to dress in a conservative manner and wear clothing that covers their bodies . A good suggestion for any woman traveler is to dress in such a way that doesn't draw unnecessary attention 01 offend the local population . Safety and security are important issues for all travelers , but especially for women traveling alone . Exercising caution can help minimize the risks . So , when you begin your trip , remember that the more you prepare yourself for different cultural behavior and expectations , the better and safer your trip will be .
