A survey by Small Lux- ury Hotels of the World, for example, revealed that be- tween 2011 and 2012 there was a 53 percent increase in the demand for rooms by women traveling alone. The London Daily Mail also reports that some ho- tels have taken steps to make their accommoda- tions more appealing to women traveling on their own, with such features as women-only floors. : Still, despite the trend, many women may WOIry that such solitary excur- sions carry too many risks, making them a target for thieves, kidnappers and other criminals. But one woman who has logged endless miles ex- ploring the world and find- ing romance says it doesn't have to be that way. “There is no reason to let your fears keep you from the adventures you can experience," says Barbara Foster, a veteran globetrot- ter and author of the book, “Confessions of a Librar- ian: A memoir of loves.” Sure, there are risky places and bad types out there. But with the right precautions, women can travel solo with confidence, visiting the places and meeting the people they always dreamed of and re- turning home with wonder- ful stories and memories. Foster speaks from ex- perience. Her travels have taken her across the country and around the world, with stops in Istanbul, Bombay, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem and other locales. As an adventurer, Fos- ter is something of a con- tradiction. She describes herself as a librarian who has difficulty reading flight schedules, and suspects a haggling merchant in an Arab bazaar would view her as easy pickings. He would be mistaken. While Foster has spent a professional lifetime in academia, and co-authored books on such esoteric sub- jects as Tibetan Buddhism, she also is steeped in re- al-life experiences. Foster, who says solo trips can be deeply reward- ing for women, offers five tips for traveling boldly while staying safe. .Steer clear of the most dangerous locales. Some places just aren't worth the risk. .Connect with friendly contacts. If you travel abroad make yourself known not only to the U. S. embassy or consul but also to people in your field. .Learn the language or at least useful phrases if you £0 overseas. Dress wisely, pay atten- tion to manners and spend money in moderation. Don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. .Travel in the USA . You will miss many of the world's must-see places, but if the thought of travel- ing abroad holds too much stress for you, it might be better to stick closer to home. Foster says two of her favorite places are New York and New Orle- ans, both great places to explore.
