There are but a few of the things you can do to make sure you stay safe on your solo travels. The most important tip is to use your common sense and to listen to your intuition. If someone gives off a bad vibe, leave. If the taxi driver seems a bit dodgy, wait for another one. Furthermore, exude confidence at all times. For instance, do not walk around consulting a map – this will mark you as a gullible tourist and will most likely get you mugged. Also, keep in touch. Let your parents and a few select friends in on your travel plans and e-mail them every few days. It is always a good idea to have someone looking out for you.

That being said, the open road is calling. Why not spend your next break enjoying a solo road trip through sunny South Africa? With the exchange rate being what it is, you are sure to have a superb time on even the tiniest of budgets. Book a flight, secure a cheap airport car rental and off you go! There really is no time like the present.
