Solo traveling is not easy for traveling. Most of the female is a solo traveler but she is all things are clear before the solo traveling for example: destination chooses, traveling issues, etc. You share the right information for the solo female traveler. Great blog! Making friends while on the road is also my kinda thing:-) Thanks for such post and please keep it up.

Great article! Although, I personally prefer mixed dorms. From my experience, unless you get to share a room with drunk guys (less common in some hostels, more in others) or laud snorer, they tend to act more quiet and respectful than women. Also, guys are more eager to help a girl who's traveling solo.

I suffer from allergies, I always pack my allergy medications, from the simple ones Benadryl, Claritin,to the ones who helped me in severe cases like alkaselzer for flu ( also food for urinary track infections) and, mucinex 24 hours
I never know what my body would react to allergens, better be prepared
Also, headache, tummy, body aches pills are in my medicine bag

Stephanie, agree with you. It all depends! I've stayed in mixed dorms often and usually there are no problems. But in some cases and locations, it's nice to be in an all female dorm. Thanks for sharing your insight. :)

I sometimes stayed in a mixed dorm and sometimes in a female dorm.
For me it depens on the city... if it is a touristy, party city, i might chose for a female dorm, because i do not want to deal with drunk boys and their stuff.
So I do get your point, boys can be a little loud, chaotic etc... but the times I did stay in a mixed dorm I had no problems with the boys (i also believe I am one of the few backpackers who has not experienced people having sex in the dorm...knock on wood right?).

That's great Jessica. I personally prefer not to give them the time of day. :)

That's an excellent point about finding underwear in Asia Kelly! Anyone who isn't extremely petite might have a difficult time finding some there. Thankfully I brought a lot with me! Thanks for sharing that tip. :)
