Lady of the rings.

Solo female travellers often get the advice to wear a ring. The advantage of a ring is that it can help you to pretend that you’re married, or at least engaged. Now why would you want that, you might wonder? Well, in some countries, as I experienced myself while travelling in Asia, solo travelling woman unfortunately are often assumed to have some kind of loose morals. You won’t always get the respect you deserve for being so brave to travel by yourself in a foreign country.  In certain countries, as a solo travelling woman, you will be approached by local man. While some of them might just want to help you out with something or just have a friendly chat, some will expect or hope for something more... of course, you should never feel obliged to give in to that!

Sooner or later during your travels, you might reach the point where you just want to be left alone for a while. That's where the wedding ring comes in handy, as it might help to get pushy guys of your back.  In those cases, just allow yourself to take the easy and socially accepted way out and pretend you’re married. To answer the question to why you’re travelling by yourself, tell people you’re on your way to meet your husband. It might help to have a picture of him at hand to add credibility to your story.  I’m sure you have a good friend at home who won’t mind to be your pretend hubby and will gladly give you a picture to take along with you :-).
