Going to Denmark..

Hi everyone i have a couple questions..

First off im going to Denmark in a couple weeks, im traveling alone this will also be my first time traveling to a differnt country and not only that but my first time flying.. so as you can imagine im a little nervous

So i was wondering if you had any advice for me, also im a women and i have heard its more dangerous for women to travel alone, is there any truth to that?

thanks in advance!

Depending on who you talk to, it's not safe for anyone to travel. Pretty much no matter where you go, the chief thing is to be smart, to pay attention to your surroundings, and follow your gut. Women have been traveling solo for ages, and good things happen to them, and bad things happen to them.

Here's some links to a couple of articles on BootsnAll that talk about female travelers:

Feel free to email the authors, too; Anita Culp is the author of the Going Solo article, and she's been traveling on her own for years - I'm sure she'd be happy to talk to another fem wanting to give it a shot
