Hi Amelia,
Great question! Here are just a few I practice:
1. Carry pepper spray with me when out.
2. Don’t go out much at night. This is easy for me, as I’m not a big partier, and would rather do daytime activities.
3. Always keep my cell phone charged, or have a portable charger with me.
4. Be aware of my surroundings and turn around/go towards people if need be.
5. If I really want to do something while solo, I’ll sign up for a group tour or something where there are others nearby.

I hope this helps!

Hi Gary,
Thank you so much! I love Harpers Ferry and am so glad a local liked what I wrote. And thank you for checking with me about using my photo. I appreciate you giving me credit in the non-public video. I hope your friends liked the video.

Congrats on the opening gig too! I will look up your show schedule.

Best,
Jordan

I just wanted to say HI. I enjoyed your blog about our area – I live near Harpers Ferry. I enjoyed your pics and info about your trip. I should (and maybe somewhere in my memory) already know about Jefferson Rock but if I had forgotten I remember now LOL. 😉 Getting older sucks hahaha..

I was looking for a pic of Harpers Ferry and used one in a NON-public video for some friends that are moving away. No one else will see it, so I didn’t use it publically (and will even credit you in the NON-public video). I hope that is okay? Pretty please 😉 If you are ever in the DMV area where I am playing some music come say hi and get a FREE CD. 🙂 Laying on the buttering up purdy pleases 😉 OR can send FREE download to your email address? More buttering LOL. Asking for forgiveness through butter…

You can check my show schedule on my site. I have a big show coming up on 1/15/22, opening for Whey Jennings at THE GROOVE inside DOMINION RACEWAY near Thornburg VA. I have tickets tickets avail at my site.
