Now you've got your flat sorted, found employment and can find your way to the grocery store without ending up across town by accident. After the initial excitement of being in a new place, the thrill of learning a new language has turns into an insurmountable barrier; basic things like banking and transport are endlessly frustrating and you would give your right arm for a bowl of Frosted Flakes.

Advice for the Woman Traveler - Introduction - Canuck Abroad
From the young to businesswomen to energetic grandmothers, Canadian women are travelling like never before. They're travelling solo, in pairs, with their children and as members of interest groups. And while women travel for many of the same reasons as men do, their social concerns, as well as their health and safety needs, are very, very different.
|
Culture Shock traveling and living abroad
One of your best sources of travel information is other women. Connect with them; ask for their advice. Note their recommendations on hotels, bed and breakfasts (B&Bs) and restaurants. Find out if they have friends or know of organizations or bookstores for you to contact at your destination. Tips and information from these sources can be invaluable.
|
Advice for the Woman Traveler - Travel Light, Travel Smart - Canuck Abroad
It's a good idea to travel light. As a woman alone, you'll be far less vulnerable and much more independent if you're not loaded down with heavy luggage and extra bags. Depending on your style of travel, a small suitcase on wheels or a backpack is a good luggage choice. Try to make sure you have at least one hand free at all times.
|
Advice for the Woman Traveler - Extra Security Makes Sense - Canuck Abroad
In your handbag or fanny pack, carry only those necessities that are lightweight and that you can afford to lose or have stolen. You should conceal those items that are not easily replaceable and are crucial to your travel arrangements - your passport, traveller's cheques, cash, medical prescriptions, contact numbers for your doctor and a copy of your insurance policy - by carrying them close to your body.
|
Air Travel for Women Travelers
Traveling in comfortable, casual clothes that don't restrict body movement is a good idea. Also remember that your feet are bound to swell. Avoid travelling in pull-on boots; shoes with laces make the most sense.
|
Advice for the Woman Traveler - Accommodation - Canuck Abroad
Choose your accommodation carefully. You may wish to consider small hotels, B&Bs or homestay exchanges. Their size generally allows for caring, personal attention. To avoid extra stress, travel early in the day, especially if you don't have reservations. This gives you time to find a place you like before it gets dark.
|
Networking with people while travelling
As soon as you begin your journey, start plugging into the female network. Finding a good source may lead you to many others. Local women are usually as pleased to meet you as you are to meet them.
|
How to dress travel abroad
Give some thought to how you dress. At home, you'll encounter few, if any, clothing restrictions, but it still makes sense to dress conservatively. Leave your valuables at home.
|
Female harassment when travelling
Unfortunately, the potential for sexual harassment and intimidation is a reality around the world. Be prepared. Do your networking and research before you leave. Find out as much as you can about the roles of both women and men in the places you plan to visit.
|
Women Alone Travel Advice
Women rightly tend to be more cautious about going out after sundown. However, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't go out at all. Simply take precautions. For example, in planning an evening out, arrange in advance to have a taxi take you there and back. When deciding where to eat dinner, choose a restaurant that is close to where you're staying.
|
Keep in touch when abroad
You should maintain contact with at least one person back home, especially if you're travelling solo. By letter, fax, e-mail or telephone, let that person know where you are and where you're heading next.
|
Women in Business Abroad
In many parts of the world, a woman's traditional role is in the home. The concept of a woman as a business executive is much less common. Understanding the customs and proper business protocol at your destination is imperative.
|
International Bathrooms Foreign Toilets
Modern bathrooms as we know them in North America do exist around the world, but not everywhere. As a traveller, you'll come across everything from outhouses to simple holes in the ground where squatting is a necessity.
|
International Adoption Agency Information
If you're thinking of adopting a child from another country, you must first obtain information about the adoption regulations of the province or territory in which the child will reside.
|
Travel while pregnant
You should check airlines' rules about pregnant passengers before you book your ticket. In Canada, airlines will allow you to fly up to the 35th week of your pregnancy, providing you're healthy and there is no previous history of premature labour.
|
Senior travel older travellers
This is a wonderful time in your life to be travelling. In most cultures, age brings respect. Children will gravitate to you. Local women will be protective, and you'll suffer less from unsolicited male advances.
|
Women health issues while travelling
Not all travel books deal with uniquely female health needs. You can augment what you read with the experienced advice of other women travellers.
|
Travel with children abroad
When travelling by air with an infant, carry a bottle or pacifier for the baby to suck on during takeoff and landing. This helps to equalize ear pressure and keeps the baby more comfortable.
