For years, decades in fact, I’ve puzzled over the knee-jerk response most people have when I tell them I travel alone.Why is it that a woman travelling alone, as I have often done for months at a time, is perceived to be “brave”, whereas men who travel alone are entirely unremarkable? Besides, in my case at least, it’s not true. You are only brave or courageous when you are afraid of something but still do it anyway. I have never been afraid of travelling alone.
I‘ve traveled around the world. I have not been anywhere I ‘d consider particularly dangerous even though I’ve had some scares, but when people say I’m brave I find it insulting, not refreshing. Why shouldn’t I feel safe to travel the world? Why should one need courage to do it?
Try the 'Jihadi experience' in Morocco then. Peddling this nonsense is dangerous.
Until you get decapitated in Morocco.
Sure. For anyone. But it is not safe.
