I'm new to dancing and am currently working at a club close to home. I would like to eventually try working in another part of the country as the money is better (20$ dances versus 10$ dances here).
What scares me most about travelling for work is being in a city unknown to me and feeling somewhat "trapped". Here if anything goes wrong, I know just how to take care of myself and get myself home safely. I'm used to working in the city where you can leave the club and there are other businesses open nearby as well as people walking by.
I guess my question is, how do you ensure your safety when travelling for work?
Do you travel with an agency? How does one screen the reputable ones?
I see many ads recruiting in my area offering free lodging and ammenities. Are these legit? Decent?
Is it better to go about it independently contacting the clubs directly and setting up your own accomodations?
What do you plan for a "worse case scenario" situation?
Before I attempt any travel work, I intend to research well and make sure I do it safely and comfortably for me. In any case I figure that these are good things regardless of the situation, please add on anything else!
- Researching the area I would work in, having notes of important ressources (emergency, taxi and other travel methods, accomodations, etc)
- Having enough money with me from the start to get myself home in a hurry if need be.
- Try to make a friendly contact in the area to call for help if needed.
Any advice on this subject matter is greatly appreciated

P.S. I don't have a car or drive if that has any bearing on the issue.
