Is travelling alone as a woman safe in your country/city?

[Yyyyu]

I am thinking about going somewhere. Still trying to figure out.

Also are hotel/food too expensive? I want to travel but don't want to become broke. When I say safe I mean completely safe. Even going alone at night is safe even if you are wearing short clothes.

I want to travel alone because I don't have anyone to travel with and I want to experience freedom
I can't go out at night here or wear anything that is short. I just want to experience freedom and still be safe this is why I want to travel.

I am going to colombia. Perfect for partying and drug's. You live once you should experience everything.

Sometimes you have to take safety in your own hands… Some people want to swim out in the ocean, without fear of the waves-

but riptides are a real thing- so you’d need to know how to swim, and effectively handle a riptide in order to enjoy those luxurious waters.

You can’t just swim in it without knowing how to keep afloat.

I’m speaking in an analogy, but either every place is safe or every place is opt for dangers/mishaps: both natural and/or planned.

I humbly suggest you gain knowledge of the area/ and people in that region you wish to travel to, AND have a traveling mate like a dog 🐕. A good trained one too :] can go on plenty of hikes and enjoy a lot more with a loyal and fierce companion.

‘Fierceness’ with ‘Logic,’ and ‘Genuine Curiosity’ is a recipe for the best travels and memories made :]

Best of All!

-Xoxo

Update: 😦 lol well that was crazy

No country is that safe. Females are at risk. But in many countries, that risk is low, so it shouldn't necessarily prevent you from living your life.

But would I travel alone in a foreign country? Nope. Women are attacked in my country, Canada, by random men. It's gotten much worse since covid.

[mstbooblover]

Let's face it: wherever you plan to travel, a girl alone abroad is never completely safe, even probably not in their own country. Some countries may of course reveal less safe than others, but keep in mind there's always a risk, which can be reduced by adapting intelligently the way you dress and behave according the country, the time of the day or night, and the local place visited. I understand girls also want to live freely, but things being as they are, consider all this in a mature and practical way. Just travel, but adapt your clothes and behaviour to the habits and customs of the visited country.

I understand you are a digital nomad or some sort. I travelled many countries, safety and security is always relative, you just need to understand young lady if you go any country research about its economy and that might reflect and give you a visual how safe it is for you as a woman. Countries have specific indexes, for instance, Iceland a very safe country, known as very woman friendly, much of Northern Europe so, you name it. Some poor countries would seem very safe, and they can be depending how cautious you are.

[Yyyyu]

Northern Europe is too cold for me

[dikdollan]

I would not suggest traveling alone is safe for any sex. Being alone increases your chances of being victimized. Being in an un-known area increases your chances of being victimized. If you're of smaller sature this also increases your chances of being victimized. Traveling alone with little funds is a bad idea unless you are a total badass who can handle yourself in any situation that gets thrown at you, I would not suggest it. You could become that total badass with discipline and training and do whatever you want within the confines of the law without worrying about it that I would highly suggest future women ronin.

[RiseofArtemis]

It's nowhere safe for women to travel alone. Not even in Europe. Especialy since the politicians let in all those imigrants over the boarder. We live again in one of the worst times in history. Our countries will collapse like ancient rome did.

[Yyyyu]

Most European countries are too cold for me anyway.

[RiseofArtemis]

Uh we have easily 35 degrees in Summer. We are not pe petualy unser 0 degrees.

[Yyyyu]

I guess I was going by stereotypes. How is nightlife there? Is it fun

[RiseofArtemis]

Well I guess it is fun if you know how to avoid the bad neighborhoods in most European cities. Illegal immigration really destroyed our once peaceful and save cities turning them into crime zones at night.

[Changiis07]

I don't think it's safe anywhere alone specially in the dark so it's best to do research and always just be aware of your sorroundings let people know where you'll be and carry a knife if you can. A lot of people do travel alone so I'm sure there are a lot of safe places

[DryGermanGuy]

Germany is very safe. Many foreign visitors commented as such to me. Our restaurants are priced fairly and high-quality groceries are almost cheap in comparison. What nightlife you get depends of course on the city.

[Yyyyu]

Are drugs legal? and what about weather? Is it too cold.
I am gonna be very honest I am only travelling because I want to party not for seeing historical sites or anything
My ideal destination would be Brazil or Mexico if it wasn't for drug gangs there

[DryGermanGuy]

Drugs are not legal, but soft drugs are decriminalized. As long as you’re not endangering anybody, the police won’t bother you. You have to check the weather reports of course, with our four seasons we get temperatures from -20 to +40.

[Yyyyu]

Can you suggest me a place where drugs are legal and I can party. Any count is fine

[Yyyyu]

Just don't be too cold
I seriously don't want to die because of cold

[DryGermanGuy]

The Netherlands, especially Amsterdam. 🤔🙂

[Yyyyu]

Isn't it too cold ?

[DryGermanGuy]

That depends on each person. In winter it’s cold, in summer it’s warm, generally speaking.

[Massageman]

There are so many variables here, it would boggle the mind. I would suggest checking with AAA or one of the other travel guide services. They typically have overall "reviews" of particular destination areas, including best times to go, safety issues, costs of meals, etc.

[ohsheeT]

I live in Reno Nevada it's the 24-hour gaming town your hotels are pretty cheap if you're a tourist Foods there's all kinds of foods to eat that are very good price there's tons of stuff to do shows to see and yes it is safe and night time

[Yyyyu]

What about night life and clubs? How is it

[ohsheeT]

It's pretty good there's quite a bit of it with really good bands I mean headliner bands I think Journey was here last week or they're going to be here this week I think but there's always a good bands The Nightlife used to be really hot before covered but it's just kind of really slowed down now but is picking up

[MRME6]

No, women are facing gender based violence all the time. Yes our country is beautiful but you'd need to be armed. I live in CPT South Africa. They crime here is horrible plus we have a thing called loadshedding so for 8 hours of the day we'll have no electricity ):

[OddBeMe]

I think like most industrialized countries and cities, being smart and staying away from obvious activity you’ll be fine.

A friend of mine lives in Juarez (the murder capital of N America) and he says its fine if you dont go looking for trouble. Ie drugs, etc.

[TonightYouu]

yes just make your hair look dirty and messy and swing your wrist when you walk and everyone will think she’s a prostitute and leave her alone

As of 2021 my whole town has syphillis I can’t until we run my nasty ass grandma out of town smh.

[Adam1978]

Safe yes, but also expensive. Unless your fine with camping gear, with that you can travel around for free and only cost you what you and your vehicle consume.

[Yyyyu]

How expensive is it? Also is your country too cold?
I can do camping in my country why would I go there?
Are drugs legal how are clubs?

[Adam1978]

Cold is relative, I think summer is too hot now, spring and autumn is great and winter is on the cold side, I wouldn't go camping then. Well are you allowed to camp anywhere that is far enough away from others dwellings to not disturb them. I can't recommend clubs because they are all the same to me, loud, dark and expensive. I just can't enjoy my time there, never could. So wrong person to ask about that.

[Yyyyu]

Hmmmm don't sound like my kind of place. I wish I could go to Brazil. Why drug gang exist there 😔. Can you recommend me a safe place where you can do drugs and party?

[Adam1978]

How can you ask for drugs if you don't want the drug gangs that provides them? Grow up, it like asking for milk without wanting cows or goats.

[Yyyyu]

I want drugs but I don't want to get killed. It is very simple.

[Adam1978]

Skip the drugs, that's the best for not getting yourself killed or abused. If you can't party without drugs, you should really reflect on yourself instead of partying.

[Yyyyu]

I never have done drug's. I just want to try it once. It look fun
Think about it after some years I am gonna get married I literally only have some years left

[Adam1978]

It's not worth it, even one time can screw you up completely. There's a reason it's either forbidden or limited.

[Yyyyu]

I guess I should stay at home and not have fun
Suck that women can't do anything without being judged. Can't wear clothes you want to wear can't do drug's
Being a men probably is better

[DizzyDesii]

I felt safe in Vegas and Charlotte alone. Just depends on the place and time. I’ll prob go to Miami and Ontario alone as well. But I’d like someone with me when i go to Orlando, New York, Aspen, Dallas, Bahamas and AU

[DryGermanGuy]

The Aspen, in Colorado? What is supposed to ever happen there, having your popsicle robbed by a snowman? 😮😬

[DizzyDesii]

@DryGermanGuy Aspen... i could fall down a mountain and no one there would know me to notify my fam.

[Brokenheartedx]

If you come to like scotland yes as long as you stick to the tourist areas and not wander into council schemes.. And like anywhere in the world don't wave your purse about and don't travel about in strange cities alone at night.

[J2ohhhhh]

Yes of course, we are civilised. And gender equality isn't just measured in your opportunity of becoming a sushi chef or jazz musician, but in things like being able to walk on the streets being just as secure as any men.

[Yyyyu]

How is night life there. I mean clubs bars?

[J2ohhhhh]

https://youtu.be/YwS5ecepgR0

[Yyyyu]

I hope it is not too cold?

[AviatorTom]

Like any place, there are safe places and there are not-so-safe places. That's true for both men and women. The goal is to find out (before you get there) which places are safe, and which aren't.

[SeriouslyFunny00]

In Philippines, you'll always have to be with a trusted travel buddy. I think you should be careful in every country though.. 😉

[Yyyyu]

I don't have any travel buddy 😔

[SeriouslyFunny00]

If you plan on visiting here in Philippines, I can be your travel buddy! 😊 Happy to show you around and try foods here.

I also know there are tour guide services that you can get online before traveling, just make sure they're legit. ❤️

[Yyyyu]

Thanks how is party life there.
Is food and hotel cheap?

[J2ohhhhh]

I just happened to be in Palawan, feels quite safe here.

[SeriouslyFunny00]

@Yyyyu One of the things we actually feel happy about is the nightlife here, especially in Boracay. I've had friends who enjoyed it there as well. As for the prices here, it is relatively cheap than any other countries. You can get hotel and food for a cheaper price but it has quality. In addition, you can easily navigate towards the place (like Boracay and Manila) since there are many local who speaks English there.

@J2ohhhhh Wow really? That's awesome. Palawan is one of the best places here in the Philippines. 😎👍 I just find it more safer for a foreign man to travel than a woman.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

No for India. I don't know about Hotels and all, but women safety is a bit of a problem here. In some parts, not all. But the blame is taken by all, hence, cross out India from your list.

[jayplays99]

Mostly, although I haven't genuinely known anyone who walks throughout at night. Even more so, I haven't met anyone who has been sexually or physically scarred through events at night, so I wouldn't know. All I know is that I have heard stories online, but haven't seen it yet or personally been effected, so again, I just don't know yet.

[SEL195]

In south africa no. It isn't even safe for woman who aren't traveling. Cape Town is expensive but the rest of the country is ok i suppose but when people see foreigners they see money.

[sheenagwapa]

yes i assume you like tourist spot so my parents hometown Bohol Philippines is a place i think you will enjoy 😊... it is safe yeah! there are lots of foreigners there.

[SickB3atZ]

Nowhere is safe aslong as you be vigilant of your surroundings and doing some research of the bad areas
