Around The World

By Russell G. Stuart

With Christmas and New Year round the corner, people would like to travel, see places and meet different kinds of people. Each place has its own attraction. You can choose from a whole range of travel places, according to your choice and your liking.

www.itraveldays.com is a website which gives interesting information on travel. There are tips for women traveling alone; there are suggestions for cruises, for sightseeing and for enjoying. There are ideas on where to go and how, what to see and do and other such posts which make really interesting reading.

Plenty of women travel alone these days. A post on this website suggests that no woman should travel alone outside her country. She can take a friend, companion or a family member along with her. She should not go to pubs or bars alone as people may misunderstand her intentions. She should divide her money and keep it in separate bags. Also she should have photocopies of her travel documents and tickets made and kept in different bags for safety. She should not forget to carry basic things like indigestion tablets, sewing kits, some buttons and hooks. Also she should always have a box of tissues and toilet rolls near her as all places are not hygienic.

Her dress should merge with the locals and not stand out. She should have the contact numbers of the local police, the hospital and the fire engine ready for emergencies. She should not go anywhere alone and not be over friendly with strangers. These are some of the dos and don'ts suggested in one of the posts on this website.

She should not travel alone at any place, least of all pubs or bars. She should not be over friendly with strangers. Also she should merge with the background and not stand out. For that she should dress like the locals. She should carry with her a sewing kit, some emergency medicines and toilet rolls and tissues as all places are not same. She should have a list of contact numbers of the local police, hospital and fire engine in case of emergency.

This website has posts on cruises, skiing places, family holidays and the like. You can choose and select and go on a holiday. But you should research and find out more about the place you are going so that you know what to expect.

A post on Puerto Galera in the Philippines suggests that scuba diving here is great. If you like water sports there are many places to choose from. Thailand is known for its coastal tourist places which offer underwater diving, and other sports.

If you like scuba diving then Puerto Galera in the Philippines is a good idea, says a post on this website. There are other places where you can ski, or play at the casino or simply relax. Christmas and New Year are there for all this. - 16463
