Can hiking alone ever be considered safe - GIRL'S GUIDE FOR SOLO HIKING

Like solo traveling, some people will argue that hiking alone is never safe, no matter what. Solo hiking can be a rewarding experience, but it is important to be prepared and to take safety precautions. " As someone who does it all the time, I have a different take on it. I find it empowering, incredibly peaceful, and one of the best ways to get closer to myself. I get to push out all the noise and clutter and just be one with nature. While I agree that solo hiking is not for everyone, there are many women around the world who have hiked thousands of miles on their own, and for those of us who love it, it’s one of the best experiences in the world. Everyone has to decide for themselves what feels good, but for me, solo traveling is a beautiful high, and hiking solo can take me even higher."
