[@Nolongeruse930]

When it comes to packing for a trip, I always say: “Pack what you need and a little bit extra.”

[@phillywill]

Love this. Just be smart Ladies. In Colombia now and I go all over the place to explore. Research is key I would say.

[@clswisher5788]

I always learn something new from your videos. I trust noone...priceless. i will have to work on this because reacting to hearing English and my smiling nature may attract attention.

When she said the resting b!+ch face part, she had me 💯😅

Traveling aboard is safer than the Continental United States.

How

[@Ilovemesomemj1]

Girl, you must be my spirit animal. I did my first solo to San Diego in April. I put on my backpack and my Resting Bitch face and I kept it moving. You must be a Libra. lol. Only one guy in a train station felt privileged enough to talk to me, but no, I didn't trust him. He was talking I gave quick responses and moved over to a couple of men who looked like they would step in and help if he bothered me. Now I also don't trust Uber or Lyft. I have to get used to those 2 programs. Do you carry mace or something? Me and my non trusting self, I have a doirstop alarm for my hotels. Great video. Have a good day

[@AdaliaAborisade]

I don't carry anything with me like mace. But I do size up every person for weak spots in case I need to attack.

[@ChristinaFonthes]

Really appreciated this video. Most I’ve seen focus on what to buy to stay safe, alarms, door stops etc but I liked that you mentioned things like not talking to strangers and being confident. Never heard of the Tripit app before - I’ve already downloaded it. Thank you for this invaluable information 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@AdaliaAborisade]

You're most welcome

[@mellowrose427]

Thank you for these tips. I’m moving across the country for the first time by myself and I’m not nervous, but I need to be prepared. Much appreciated.

[@AdaliaAborisade]

You got this! Glad you found it helpful.

[@chinajo555]

Awesome advise and I believe we always get warnings from our Spirit Guide, follow your instincts for sure

[@FreeToBe_Me]

I like the tip re not reacting to English. Gotta work on that one.

[@Thirstytraveler41]

You are so welcome!

[@rukiyakitwano4822]

How have you handled emergency situations, related to safety or hospitalization? How did you bridge the communication barrier? Do you covert currency for every location you visit?

[@AdaliaAborisade]

Currency - I get money from the ATM when I need it Emergencies - Have you watched the video I did? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qafMkJ-NjJ2Dd6c The few times I've had to talk to the cops I just used my toddler Spanish and Google Translate. In my experience, when people see that you're in distress they figure a way to understand you or find someone who speaks English.

I think some apps let you share you GPS location.

[@AdaliaAborisade]

Yes, WhatsApp is good for this. I will sometimes drop a pin and message it to a friend so they know where I was.

Adalia, how did your purse get stolen? And, where? Thank You for good tips.

[@AdaliaAborisade]

It was my wallet. Someone took it out of my bag at Starbucks when I wasn't looking.

[@sharonwilkins3583]

I use the envelope system for money

[@AdaliaAborisade]

Did you know GoodBudget will let you do envelopes digitally?
