I know some women cant fathom traveling solo.

But for me, it was always a given.
Granted, I grew up watching Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
If youve never seen it, its kind of like the OG Dora the Explorer.

While I havent always escaped unscathed, I dont plan on putting the kibosh on flying solo anytime soon.
For me, the rewards still far outweigh the risks.
Ive also gone down the rabbit hole of researching safety products.
Amazon
Instead of feeling more afraid, I feel more empowered.
Disclaimer: These products arent foolproof, but they are serious deterrents and provide valuable peace of mind.
I dont think solo travel is for everyone.
Amazon
With more than 4,000 sold in the last month, its an Amazons #1 bestseller.
To activate the alarm, simply pull the pin.
To turn the alarm off, just reinsert the pin.

I can say firsthand that perpetrators hate anything that draws attention to them.
Plus, this alarm includes a flashing strobe light.
Note: Unlike personal safety alarms, pepper spray is NOT permitted in your carry-on luggage.
Amazon
It also comes with a battery level indicator and double-sided speakers features most other personal alarms lack.
Great for places you cant take your pepper spray!
reads one review titled Best travel companion.
Amazon
Thats why I love the idea of this drink cover scrunchie.
You also dont need to worry about people slipping things into your drink.
It seamlessly blends style with safety,writes one shopper, who deemed it a travel essential.
Amazon
Heck, I got my pink one as a first communion gift when I was just 8 years old.
Of course, knives arent allowed on planes.
Another review, titled Functional!
Amazon
Its a simple kit that fits most doors.
In fact, so many travelers rely on it that more than 3,000 were sold in the last month.
But wait, it gets better!
Amazon
It even comes with a compass.
Lightweight but durable is how one traveler describes it in their rave review, titled Important to have.
ThunderFit Womens Silicone Wedding Rings
Yes,fake engagement rings are a thing.
They may seem silly; however they can seriously help deter unwanted attention from potential suitors.
In the last month alone, Ive had at least four Uber drivers propose to me.
I love these particular bands because theyre made of silicone which doesnt bother my sensitive skin.
Plus, they dont have a gemstone that snags on things.
Still, most luggage doesnt come with this built-in security.
All of the contents are protected by an aluminum-embroidered lining that blocks RFID signals.
And dont let the low price fool you.
This sleek leather accessory is handmade by a team of 15 experienced craftsmen.
It has nearly 15,000 five-star ratings, and comes in 20 colors.
