Travel

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Alison Healy

Wanderlust is a wonderful thing.

Packing a bag, jumping on a plane and exploring far flung corners of the world is a right of passage for millions of Aussies.

And sometimes you'll find yourself travelling for a period of time alone.

This is where the lie comes in because if you admit to strangers that you're travelling alone you're more likely to become a victim of crime.

Yeah it's a sad world that we live in.

But you can greatly reduce this risk by telling a little white lie.

When you initially get into a conversation with someone when you're alone - don't TELL them you're on your own.

Make up a fictional mate who just isn't with you at that moment.

It can be an invaluable tool when it comes to keeping yourself safe!
