Is it safe for a girl to go to Manila alone?

If you are a girl and it is your first time to go, it is recommended not to go alone.

If you travel, just go with relatives and friends.

If you are traveling for work, tell the company that you would like to travel with your colleagues.

There is another special situation, that is, a company in this country sends you a very attractive job opportunity. If you have no work experience at all, no contact at all, no understanding of the situation, and no relatives or friends in this country who can help you inquire, it is strongly recommended to ignore it. Maybe this is a good offer and you will miss it by ignoring it, but the greater possibility is that it is a scam.

The reason why it is recommended not to travel alone when traveling and traveling is that you can never predict what unexpected situations you will encounter when traveling for the first time, such as domestic security check, domestic boarding, domestic transfer, and which terminal in Manila you will arrive at. Floor, how to behave when passing through the immigration window, where to pick up luggage, who to ask for directions, how to take the bus after arrival, how to negotiate the price when you have to take a black taxi, how to buy and use local phone cards, etc., etc., etc., it is impossible to list them all. Many people, many ideas. If you don’t know the local language and your English is average, then the risk of going out by yourself increases.

If I always go, I personally think it’s okay. I am more familiar with various places in the airport. I can understand the airport announcements. I know how to take the bus and what bus to take without being ripped off. This way, I will not panic.

As for social security, this really depends on the intuition of detecting danger, the ability to avoid danger, and. . . luck.
