- Some safety tips

(HealthDayNews) -- Women who travel alone should take certain safety precautions, advises the American Automobile Association.

Here are some pointers:

Take a doorstop in your luggage and jam it under your closed hotel room door when you retire for the night.
Avoid ground level hotel rooms. Concierge floors often offer extra security.
Keep a business card from your hotel in your purse, in case you get lost.
If you're traveling in segregated areas, such as orthodox religious neighborhoods, take cues from the women around you and try to blend in.
Don't leave your drink unattended in a restaurant or bar.
Have phone numbers and know the location of places such as the U.S. embassy and the police.
When registering, use only your last name and first initial, if possible.
