One of the rail travel tricks I often use is making a reservation in a different app from where I bought the ticket. For example, for some international connections it is not possible to reserve a seat in the DB app, but I want to buy my ticket from DB to get bonus points, and I want to have a guaranteed seat (happened when I was travelling to Pilsen for Easter). Also I use local apps if I have to take another train than stated on my ticket for whatever reason.

"The future is dangerous. Don't go any further. Please."

Lost in Translation: A fascinating example of how language nuances can change the tone of a message.
The Japanese sign at Hotel Balmoral Karuizawa politely warns of danger ahead, while the English translation takes on a more ominous tone.

There are some great tips here for women travelling alone. Both my mother and I have travelled alone both within Australia and overseas - my mother in the 1990s.

I have done a few of these tips when travelling alone myself. Staying at hostels is definitely a great move, but make sure to check that you have booked a woman-only room if that is important to you.

Any other tips for women travelling alone?
