- In this video I share my advice (12 tips) for both women and men on how to stay safe while traveling alone, car camping solo and embarking on a solo road trip in their suv. I drove alone as a female almost 19,000 miles during the last 12 months, crossing the U.S. three times while car camping in my 2008 Subaru Forester XT Sports MT.

Great advice. As a husband, dad of daughters and grandfather of granddaughter i will pass this along. Good information for everyone. especially regarding trusting our gut. Great suggestion about keys and glasses…We got into a tense/uncomfortable situation and found myself fumbling around for them and it really created unnecessary confusion. We have advised our daughters to not allow commercial or state campgrounds to put the “ number of guests” on the ticket they want hanging on your mirror as #1. There is no need to advertise that. Put 2 or 5! Who cares!
So glad you found my video useful! Safe travels to you and your whole family.
Good advice. Especially the part about "go explore."
Absolutely!
Very good tips! I use the gas station tip even when not traveling.
I’m so happy you found my video interesting! Safe travels!
I like these tips and will use them in the future. Thanks and safe travels to you! 😊
So glad you found this video interesting! Thank you and safe travels to you too :)
These tips are all great habits for anyone to adopt. Paranoia can be distracting or even destructive to one's peace of mind, but making reasonable safety precautions a habit means you worry less about ending up in bad situations, and actually will allow you to enjoy the world more. Regarding trusting your gut instinct: if you haven't already, read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin De Becker. It does a good job of explaining how our "gut instinct" is almost always our subconscious mind making a very rational analysis of what is happening based on personal experience or knowledge. The subconscious mind tends to work much faster than the conscious mind, so even though you cannot figure out why you feel on edge at the moment (usually because your conscious mind is busy dealing with the here and now), your subconscious mind is recognizing known patterns and behaviors that indicate a possible threat. Always trust your instincts - they are not unreasonable fears to be ignored. Btw, great interview on the Subie & You! podcast this week!
Asha, I'm 191cm and 158 kilos. While these are good tips for normal people, many times few would apply to me. I'm usually the person people like you steer away from, even though my wife says I'm a big teddy bear. That being said, you raise good points. I feel, whether legal or not, having and carrying pepper spray is something most people should do. Then if you have an issue with a person or animal, the pepper spray will not permanently injure the creature, but will definitely deter from further encounters with you. I agree, there's nothing wrong with lying to other travelers. You never know what that person will do. Remember Ted Bundy was a really handsome man, yet he was a serial killer. Enjoy your travels and stay safe!
Wonderful Tips, we thank you😊👍
So glad you found them helpful. Safe travels! 🌸
These are great tips! It is fear that holds many of us back from living an adventurous life. Thank you Asha.
Agree! Thank you for your nice comment and safe travels!
Asha, once again a very good video. I love the fact that you genuinely care about people and give advice based on real life experiences. Keep making these please and if you ever come back through Louisiana and Texas give me a shout. By the way where’s the Subie? If I could send a pic of mine I’d show you all the work I’ve done to it in hopes of traveling in it one day.
Thank you! For both watching my video, and finding it interesting. I parked my Subie in a safe spot for a few. I really hope you'll hit the road one day in yours! :)
Thank you for this video, excellent advice❤
Glad it was helpful! Safe travels!

Good job explaining safety on the road as a woman. It’s always a good idea to stay adventurous, but go for it with awareness.

For the license plate thing, I always said my car is registered to an out of state LLC. No one, Has ever questioned it before!
Genius idea - thank you!
Outstanding video! Definitely will apply some things I’ve learned from you today. Thank you for sharing your travel safety experience.
