Women Travel Safety: Nowadays, it has become quite common for girls to travel alone and stay in hotels due to work or solo trips. But when you stay alone in an unknown room in an unknown city, your safety should be the first priority.

1. Check 'Hidden Camera' as soon as you enter the room

• Nowadays, as technology has advanced, there are no less people who take advantage of it.
  There are frequent reports of hidden cameras being found in hotel rooms. Therefore, as soon as you enter the room, first turn off all the lights and turn on your phone's camera in the dark and move it around. If you see even a small red or green light flashing somewhere, be careful.
• Check thoroughly under the TV, set-top box, wall clock, mirror, bathroom shower, night lamp and smoke detector. Light the torch of your phone and hit the mirror. If the mirror is two-way mirror, you will be able to see the other side or a slight gap.

Important precautions related to hotel staff and booking

• When you're checking in at reception, ask the staff not to say your room number out loud, but to write it down on a slip of paper. No unknown person standing nearby should know in which room you are going to stay alone.
• If there is someone in the elevator that you are suspicious of, do not go in with that person. Make an excuse, stop and wait for the next lift.
• If someone rings the doorbell or knocks on the door while you are inside the room, do not open the door without looking.
  Look through the peephole on the door to see who is outside. If there are any staff, ask what they are there for.

3. Smart gadgets that double the safety

• Door Stopper Alarm is a small gadget, which is installed under the door. If someone tries to forcefully open your door at night, it sounds a very loud siren, which alerts the people nearby.
• Portable Door Lock is a kind of extra lock, which you can fit on the door from inside without any screw or drill. When it is installed, no one can open the room from outside even through the master key.
