Many people are leaving their homes and embarking on new exciting adventures. Solo traveling seems to be the new big thing. While this sounds like fun, it’s important to take precaution and research your travel destination before you head there. If you dare to travel to these cities, make sure you are with someone else. It’s always better to have two sets of eyes looking out.
