If you are attacked, they are not going to wait until you fish down to the bottom of your purse or unlock the glove compartment to get your weapon before they proceed. Now, before you dismiss this one with, well, I have a gun, hang on. They can see where you are and can see if anyone comes up to you and most times, it will deter anyone's interest in you. and if you ever feel uncomfortable or feel you might be in a dangerous situation- call someone and just talk with them. Don't leave it in your car, keep it with you. My phone is always linked to someone else, so if anything happens, they can ping my phone. Sometimes I'll let them know where I'm headed, or when I've crossed markers like state lines. I am constantly checking in with someone in my circle when and where I stop for the night and when I leave again in the morning. If you are ever in a situation and it just doesn't feel right, pay attention. And there's a fine line between trusting your gut and realizing you may just be looking for things to make you afraid. I am working on the United States and have yet to visit other countries. I absolutely love to travel and I am always looking for a new adventure or places I haven't been. And yes, I love being outdoors, so this kind of lifestyle fits me to a tee. I'm a sucker for a waterfall or a sunset and have been known to go out of my way for some beautiful scenery. I love history, so most of my sidetrips are usually triggered from that but I am also a HUGE fan of natural beauty. (I can write an entire article on the pros and cons of just that! Lol!) I usually pull a camper, but this last trip, I lived out of my truck. I do like to have at least 75% of my trip planned.
and on the way there is pretty much the only time I am spontaneous. When I travel, I always have a destination in mind. So while it's fresh on my mind- since I just finished up a trip from the West Coast- I thought I'd share a few of them here and then some tips I've learned along the way. I am often asked questions about my adventures and I love to talk about the places I go and the things I see, but I also get a lot of questions about my thoughts on safety. And the majority of the time, I travel alone.
