Each year, about 32 million
American women travel solo, according to the Travel Industry
Association. For female
solo-travelers, safety is always top of mind. Erika Weisbrod,
director of security solutions for International SOS, is an expert
in travel risk management. Weisbrod breaks down the factors women
should consider when traveling, what are the necessary precautions
they should take and how to approach different situations
overseas. Diana Edelman, who
spent many years as a travel blogger living in various countries,
discusses the pros and cons of the ex-pat lifestyle compared to
vacationing. Edelman explains her realization that she was "running
away" via travel instead of traveling to explore, which can happen
when we feel feel depressed or anxious or lonely or
stuck.
