Advance planning is a major key to leaving
home. I cooked enough food for my family to last a month (I was
to be gone four days only), I attached "to do" notes for
every mirror and other obvious places throughout the house. I equipped
myself with a book to read, a sketchbook and plenty of tissues in
case of unwanted, unexpected tears. |

Each time you venture forth without a companion
is a step toward new self-insight, new information, and ways of
handling each new situation. If you choice is to include a companion,
be that person a friend or relative, the chances of having unusual
people and adventure enter you life will be reduced by fifty percent.
Many couples or solo travelers are happy to welcome one interesting
woman who can bring new interest, delight, and diversity of conversation. |

Before entering a nonstandard country, ask
a lot of questions. Get information about everything including money,
entrance requirements, food, water, bathroom facilities, and ATM
machines. Read everything you can and also get personal advice from
anyone kind enough to give it. |

It takes some courage to sit on a barstool
alone, but it can be an interesting experience is you bring something
for the Travelin' Lady to do with her hands. Follow your best instincts
for conversation. If Travelin' Lady is simply alone and not lonely,
she gives off an aura of self-esteem and confidence. This will not
attract the unsavory. |

Things don't always go well no matter how
carefully you prepare. My advice is to take a chance when it feels
right. If it turns out otherwise, you'll probably have a good story
to tell. |

Sometimes difficult situations teach us more
about ourselves than we could ever learn otherwise. A gentle threat
of inconveniencing someone is sometimes more effective than ranting
and raving and being unable to communicate. |
