Taking a solo trip can be a freeing experience. Since there’s no one to check in with, you can essentially go where you want, do what you want, eat what you want, etc. Some parts can be stressful, some can be relaxing, but overall it can be a fulfilling and meditative excursion. But, as important as it is to unwind on a vacay, it’s equally important to travel safely (especially if you’re a woman). That’s why we searched all over for the solo travel essentials you need to add to your packing list, no matter your destination. Whether you’re headed to a tropical spot to relax by the beach or backpacking through a new country, there are a few must-have items and gadgets that every solo traveler should pack.

This packing guide has all the items and accessories you can’t forget to purchase before hitting the road or jet-setting. Bon voyage!
