Would you avoid going to these places alone? Let me know in the comments below!
I am a HUGE solo female travel advocate – I built a career around it! I’ve been to over 70 countries, and traveled solo in over 60 of them. Solo female travel is one of the most adventurous, eye-opening and empowering thing a woman can do, but there are some places that I simply cannot recommend for a solo trip, for various reasons. Watch on and let me know if you agree with the list!

Best Notification ever💞💞
This is a great list. Thank you for including places that are "too remote/desolate" for solo travelers. Although having time to myself is a big joy of solo traveling, for safety reasons I would very much like having access to human help. Echoing the Morocco one, I'd only go there on a group tour based on similar things I've heard
What about Egypt? I’ve heard bad things about traveling there, especially for women.
Thanks for this list . Its very helpful
Brasil Morocco ,this is so true
I am Brazilian, I would say São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro can be very dangerous indeed, especially the last years poverty and consenquetly crimes have increased.However there are still beautiful and safer places to visit in Brazil, you have to do a deeper research to find them and avoid the busy areas.Not impossible for a solo, but definately better with more pleople.
I'm glad none of the countries I'm going to this summer made the list. I'm doing a combination of independent (but with a group because: convenience and safety) and solo (all on my own) travel, for the first time since late Dec 2018 and I'm super excited. It'll probably help that I'm not 20-something too.
Well my 2 cents advice 😅. Lol! Egypt is beautiful but as a solo you’d need a private Tour Guide bc of the Arabic unless u speak 🗣️
However, Marrakech Morocco 🇲🇦 the ppl were very helpful & friendly. The hustlers were not aggressive like in Egypt 🇪🇬
I haven’t been to Casablanca or Fez etc but friends told me they had fun. So, I can’t wait to return & go to Casablanca. I may just check into the Riad Jonan again & take the train to Casablanca like they told me but I ran outta time. Plus they treated me like family & I know the city now.
I also met a wonderful couple from England & their cute & friendly baby girl.
I did travel ti Iran as a solo woman and felt very safe, no issues but I am from NZ. I also did go to Morocco I felt safe but did get some rude comments and guys that stare. thanks for the List
The truth is though, bad stuff can happen anywhere. You put Chile on the list because of what seems like one bad incident. Is that fair? Have you never had a bad incident anywhere else, including your home town? I'm not defending Chile, I haven't been there. But to put a country on a list like this because of one occurrence seems unfair.
Some good points, but I disagree about Chile, Morocco, and South Africa. I've traveled alone to all three and had a wonderful time. It's vital to be alert and aware and trust your gut. If you ever feel ill at ease, trust that and take decisive action to get out.
I was so surprised at how wonderful Morocco was when I was there. Everyone I spoke to advised against going but it quickly became one of my favourites and I want to go back again and again. I went with my ex but he didn't enjoy it and so I spent a lot of time out alone while he sat in cafes and pouted for a month. I actually found my experience without him to be much better. People were so friendly and generous and kind. I dressed almost entirely in their traditional clothing which my wardrobe is full of now, spoke a decent amount of French and was beyond enthusiastic. A few of my hosts said this had a lot to do with my experience. I still to this day do not understand the slack Morocco gets.
