Great read! I love that you included a list of ways to stay safe on the road.
If you're a woman traveling alone, you're definitely at a higher risk. But I think this is good advice for everyone. This story made me think back to the eldery couple that were stabbed at an RV rest stop a few months ago. It was horrible but it got a trend of conversations going about road-travel safety.
That whole situation introduced me to the Long Long Honeymoon Channel on YouTube. If anyone is looking for more tips of van-life safety, they have a great videos on that!
