Solo female travel is on the rise!
[dropcap]W[/dropcap]e are surrounded by strong, determined, independent women, and what better way to fulfil that independence then to travel solo?
The year 2017, has shown up a dramatic increase, in the interest of women in solo trips. Today female travellers are independent, unafraid, and looking to explore new destinations their own way.
When you travel solo, you get a chance to find yourself! It is an absolute nirvana idea, as there are no constraints and you own your time. With more female friendly destinations there is an increase in the number of female travellers, who are creating memories and experiences with people they meet during their travel.
When you are travelling alone, safety is a big concern. Most women book every travel needs online from flight tickets, to hotel, but they do not book currency online? They either depend on the Dollars or Euro which they later convert into the currency of travel destination.
Women tend to share all their personal details when they go for currency exchange, the passport details, the ID proof details, without knowing them. This could be potential risk. It is an established fact that money changers at airports and hotels charge a premium over actual rates. Now the choice is between paying higher rates or higher risk of safety with high street or malls with money changing outlets. You can choose to spend on your debit or credit card but be prepared to shell out a hefty transaction fee that your bank will charge you.
You can avoid avoid such circumstances by getting your currency exchanged online before going for the trip. Make sure that the online company you buy your forex from is licensed by RBI. You can choose the best rates on Nafex.com, a platform which allows live bidding by several money changers for your requirement so you get to choose the deal.

Solo travelling gives you a lot of peace and lets you find the real you. But, it is always important to stay safe. So, travel solo with safety!
