I think you meant to add this to a different post of mine called &lt;a href=&quot;https://rachelsruminations.com/10-travel-risks-not-worth-taking/&quot;&gt;10 Travel Risks Not Worth Taking&lt;/a&gt; or perhaps the one called &lt;a href=&quot;https://rachelsruminations.com/25-tips-for-women-traveling-solo/&quot;&gt;25 Real Tips for Women Traveling Alone&lt;/a&gt;. In any case, these are excellent tips!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We would like to add two more Safety tips:

1. For safety and security, give a copy of your itinerary and emergency phone numbers to a loved one back at home.
2. Make a packing list to ensure that you don’t forget to pack what you need. A packing list also allows you to only pack the necessary items for the trip so you don’t have to bear with extra weight.]]></description>

It&#039;s not a scientific poll. I posted the collaboration request on two facebook groups for travel bloggers, and this is what I got back! If I&#039;d asked more people, I suspect I would have gotten more places in North and South America.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The list could be so much longer :) I don&#039;t know why North America isn&#039;t more of a destination, Canada and the US are so vast and differing in the landscape and cultures within but I guess not exotic enough for the average traveler.]]></description>
