Traveling solo can be a truly rewarding experience, but there’s a reason that the saying “there’s safety in numbers” is so often repeated — it’s true. Going places by yourself also means being more cautious than you normally would and paying extra attention to your surroundings so that you should stay safe (though that’s always a good idea, even when you’re traveling with a group).
It’s one woman’s vigilance that may have actually ended up saving her life, according to a video she just shared describing a terrifying experience that recently happened when she was in an Uber by herself. And while what happened to her took place where she lives, and not while she’s on vacation, it’s an important (if not harrowing) story that reminds us to be extra vigilant while using ride sharing apps while we’re traveling, especially if you happen to be a woman.
