The start of my first trip was intimidating.

I worried about getting tired of talking to myself and feeling awkward about dining alone.
But once on the road, I realized how much I loved traveling solo.
Its an empowering experience.
Amazon
But as a female solo traveler, I know that being alone comes with a few inherent risks.
What I pack depends on where Im going and how Im getting there.
I throw one in my checked luggage to be able to locate it if it gets lost.
Amazon
And I place one on my Poppys collar just to be safe.
Every tagged machine’s location will appear in your Find My app.
I like Aikelidas travel wallet for this purpose.
Amazon
I like that it has RFID-blocking capabilities.
It has two main zipper pockets and two stash pockets inside the larger main pockets.
A concealed stretchy mesh pocket on the back makes it very easy to separate and locate items.
Amazon
It is also 50 percent off during Amazons Memorial Day sale.
It is also slash-proof and cut-proof to help keep you safe from pickpockets.
It even has locking hardware that lets you strap it to something at a restaurant or bar.

The Shes Birdie Personal Safety Alarm lives permanently in my travel suitcase.
I like how easy it is to use.
Just slide the pin back into the alarms body to turn the alarm off.
Amazon
However, Amazon customers who have purchased it say it works, giving it nearly 10,000 five-star ratings.
I feel much safer in a crowd.
All I have to do is pull on this alarm, which starts shrieking.
Amazon
I keep it pinned to the strap on my purse for easy access,one reviewer wrote.
It is hard to believe something so simple can be such a lifesaver, but it really is.
The LifeStraw has garnered over 96,000 perfect five-star ratings on Amazon.
Amazon
So, I always stash a portable battery charger like this one from Anker in my purse.
Just knowing it is there gives me peace of mind.
Slim and easy to carry, this charger still packs a powerful punch.
Amazon
It charges my devices quickly, taking about two hours to charge my phone fully.
And right now, you’re able to score a few dollars off thanks to an on-page coupon.
Ive had friends get items stolen from their checked luggage before, so this lock helps prevent that.
Amazon
The 108-piece first aid kit is another perk.
It can also be used for self-defense against humans when traveling solo especially when hiking alone or camping.
Dont pack your bear spray for a flight, though.
Amazon
It is illegal in carry-on and checked luggage, and TSA will confiscate it.
Casetify Rope Phone Strap with Card
I think phone straps are a brilliant idea for numerous reasons.
Its called juice jacking.
Amazon
Luckily, there is a cheap and easy fix with a data-blocking gear like this one from PortaPow.
This comfy, discreet undercover wallet comes in two sizes to fit multiple bra sizes.
To use, you just snap the adjustable elastic straps over your bra strap and tuck it inside.
Amazon
It is big enough to hold numerous credit cards, IDs, and even a car key.
It also blocks RFID, and the lining of the wallets interior pocket is moisture resistant.
