Girls who are heading abroad for a year on their own have been offered some advice on how to look after themselves.
Girls who are heading away on flights to Phuket and other areas popular with gap year travellers have been offered advice on how to take care of themselves.
Travel advice site Thelma and Louise has compiled a list of tips to help female holidaymakers to get the most from their travels.
First of all, it recommended that people challenge themselves and get out of their comfort zones, with doing what the locals do advised, even if it is only something as small as using the underground network.
Being open and chatting to the people you meet is also a great way of enhancing the travel experience, with the site advising that “if they don’t respond, it doesn’t matter as you may never meet them again and if they do, it’s a bonus”.
People taking flights to Phuket could find that they meet a lot of travellers from the Czech Republic during their stay, as the visa rules for entering the country have recently been relaxed for Czech nationals.
