Tara On Safety For Women - Tips
Hello Tara,
It is a little more dangerous for women travelers
than men, however negligible.
The danger is rape, however the locations where this
happens the most is where the USA women go the most, that is in
Mexico.
In most countries Rape is a taboo, there is plenty of
prostitutes and if some girl is raped, the locals will hunt them down and maybe
kill the person. This truly makes men stop raping. The women who get raped in
Mexico, Latino countries or in Europe are asking for it normally. They will go
out to eat, drink and spend the whole night flirting.
This does not work outside the USA or Canada, the men
will just take what they want, they do not tolerate this sexual flirting. Canada
and the USA are culturally the same, I do not differentiate.
Fear is the problem for you or women.
Tara... did you not want to write you last name, this
is fear.

Brilliant website, Im going to enjoy it.
Ive always wanted to do what you are doing. My concern is safety as I
am a woman, and at least to start would be traveling alone. Any thoughts

Thanks for sharing!
