Recommendations and rules for a girl planning a vacation alone?
I am planning a trip to Sri Lanka in April. This is my first trip abroad. I plan to spend my vacation calm, for the soul (beach, hiking, sightseeing). What rules should be followed when being alone in an unfamiliar country? What are the features of such a holiday?
Thanks.
Best regards, Olga.

Use protective equipment against mosquitoes and other insects, in order to avoid stomach infections and poisoning, wash your hands thoroughly before eating, vegetables, fruits purchased on the market. Use mineral water for drinking. You should not visit the temple in open clothes. There are many monkeys in Sri Lanka. Monkeys are considered inviolable, so do not try to take away, chase her, this can cause aggression among the locals. Close the windows before leaving to avoid chaos in the room.

Thanks for the answer.
I read something about the culture and history of Sri Lanka, and as I understand it, the Sri Lankans are decent people, but still. Are there cases of theft? Is it possible to leave things on the shore unattended without fear for their safety?

Regarding personal belongings: leave them in a safe or in a suitcase (if it is on a combination lock), carry a photocopy of your passport with you. Be friendly with the locals, but at the same time be careful not to become a victim of scammers (pickpockets). Do not buy souvenirs made from ivory, tortoiseshell, coral, reptile skin - it is illegal to sell them. If they are found during inspection at the airport, you will have to pay a fine.

If you have at least a basic knowledge of English, you can easily take a tuk-tuk driver and travel alone. It gets dark there at 18-00, they have a problem with lighting. Therefore, of course, you shouldn’t walk in the dark, but during the day, walk wherever you want, no one will touch you with a finger. There are annoying locals who will offer you, for example, to eat in a cafe with a brother or buy sapphires or some other crap. I advise you to just freeze yourself or pretend that you do not understand or firmly and confidently say that you do not need it. In general, I recommend reading my review - the Villa Ocean View 4 * hotel I was there in December. Pomoymu turned out to be quite constructive. Yes, about the beach, they are fenced off from the locals with a mesh fence and security at the entrance. Therefore, if something is stolen, then only hotel vacationers. Have a good rest

As for theft. At a hotel in Kandy, we left a purse with a wallet in the room when we left for dinner. The next day we discovered that 2,000 rupees and 55 dollars had been stolen from us. So don't repeat our mistakes. Before the trip, I also thought that I would walk a lot, but it turned out that it was not so easy. Firstly, it is very hot, and secondly, they have very narrow roads and no sidewalks at all. But we went to Wadduwa ourselves and more than once, we also went to Colombo on a public bus (the price for a fare for two one way is less than a dollar), we walked the entire center of Colombo (on the map, I laid the route at home)

Runs around the hotel, flies, etc. different living creatures (chipmunks, jerboas), but it is already fed by tourists. The only thing that can bother you is mosquitoes. Take the fumigator.

Dear ya.anitya! Sri Lankans are open and uncomplicated, but even with all the Buddhist mentality, they can be cruel and aggressive. Do not approach any locals, do not drink alcohol with them, always calculate the risks and try not to travel alone. They can steal, offend, alas, they can too. So take care of yourself
