\u201cI wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life – and I became that woman\u201d, said\u00a0Diane von Furstenberg. Many women would resonate with that sentiment. And if you are turning your dreams of independence into reality and moving alone to a new city, these safety tips will have your back just like 21st Century Relocations will for all your relocation needs.<\/p>\n

Before you move, know the neighbourhood:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As important as knowing where the nearest grocery shop is, is knowing the roads in your neighbourhood. Don\u2019t hesitate to use the maps. Keep a mental note of the areas that feel deserted and avoid passing through at night. Googling the crime rate of the area will help you decide whether you want to live there.<\/p>\n

\"Safety<\/p>\n

Invest in home security:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get a surveillance camera and an alarm in place are the first things you should do. Don\u2019t look for cheap ones. You can also make sure whether your window or balcony doesn\u2019t open up to someone else\u2019s or to another access point. This will give you a good night\u2019s sleep. Keeping the light on in your living room can also discourage burglars.<\/p>\n

Get to know your neighbours but don\u2019t tell strangers about you living alone:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are all proud of being able to provide for ourselves but telling a stranger about how you live alone is like setting yourself up as bait. On the other hand, even if it is a short greeting, introduce yourself to your neighbours. If anything goes wrong, there are the nearest to you.<\/p>\n

Always be cautious, don\u2019t trust easily:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep your guards up. Install a safety door if you don\u2019t have an intercom. Don\u2019t open the door for random strangers. Use your common sense, and always trust your instincts.<\/p>\n

Learn basic self-defence techniques and install a security app:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you cannot take a basic class for self-defence, YouTube has some good tips. Learn how to fight on your own, so you don\u2019t have to wait for someone to rescue you. Also, there a host of SOS apps available for download. You can also perpetually share your live location using Google Maps.<\/p>\n
