Apart from obvious essential things such as vaccinations,
malaria tablets, visas (for South East Asia most are available at the airports
apart from Vietnam where for Polish passports holders it is required to
register online first and get a promesa visa before turning up to the airport),
travel insurance etc, there were few other things I felt like I should have.
First on the list are personal security items. Although I hope I will never
have to use them, as single female traveler it is better I have than not have
them. I purchased a personal alarm (upon activation it gives a very loud siren
of 140db for attracting attention) and criminal identifier farb-gel-spray
(containing a very hard to wash farb that stains skin and clothes of attacker
for up to 7 days for easier identification). They both comply with UK
regulations (unlike the pepper spray) and I bought them from a legal website,
here are the links:

I also decided to opt for maximum security when it comes
to my most important personal belongings which are passport, money and credit
cards. I purchased Security Holster (looks more secure
than simple neck pouch) and a special wallet with the chain so it can be
attached to the belt or handbag preventing it from stealing.

After initial struggle with putting holster on, I managed
to make it fit. However, I still believe the designer made it for men; he didn't
consider the fact that women have boobs and the holster does not sit as good on
them as on someone flat-chested. Apart from it, I really like how solid it feels and I am looking forward to test both purchases in my journey J
