Minding your manners

while holding your own

It’s important for any traveler to learn the cultural norms of their
destination, but it’s doubly important if you are a woman traveling on your
own. After all, many of the different behaviors and attitudes you encounter
will have to do with gender, and being prepared can save you (and your
foreign hosts) plenty of discomfort. Keep an open mind, focus on the
positive, and be mindful that how you comport yourself abroad reflects
on all Americans.
