A solo female traveler has revealed the destinations she will never visit again, including a European city that is a major tourist hotspot.
First on their list was Manila, the capital of the Philippines, which will welcome more than 14 million tourists in 2023, according to the country’s tourism board.
Explaining her first choice, Andrea said: “It was definitely not safe. My hotel didn’t even let me go to the ATM outside.
“They told me to put on more clothes and not wear sleeveless tops because there were a lot of men outside and it wasn’t safe for me to walk alone.”
Moving on to your next option on the list, this choice may surprise many given its status as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Andrea chose Paris, the French capital, because, as she herself says: ‘I was almost assaulted twice on the subway, even though the city has a large police presence.
“They also warned me about pickpockets and advised me not to go out alone at night.”
Third, she chose Cartagena in Colombia, which she says she loved even though “the men were quite aggressive.”
And he added: “The reason Cartagena is on this list is because the police warned me for taking a video of a taxi, since they said a local could unexpectedly snatch it from me.”
Offering her penultimate city in places I wouldn’t recommend visiting as a solo traveler, Andrea opted for Caye Caulker in the Central American country of Belize.
Explaining why, she stated: “Men are very, very aggressive.”
Responding to her choices in the comments, other users expressed their fear that Andrea would include Paris on her list.
“So much so that I had to pepper spray a man who was physically touching me in an attempt to get me into his restaurant, which he tried several times.”
Revealing her final choice, the vlogger said she would never return to San Salvador, the capital of another Central American country, El Salvador.
She said this is because “she was almost kidnapped by two men in San Salvador while walking alongside some construction workers.”
“They weren’t gang members, but they had a spool of wire in the back of their truck. “They stopped next to me, grabbed my arms and tried to put me inside the vehicle.”
“Fortunately, people heard me scream and were able to convince the men to let me go.”
Responding to her choices in the comments, other users expressed concerns about Andrea including Paris.
They commented: ‘Oh no, I plan to go to Paris this year. Any advice?
She replied: ‘Don’t take the subway and be very careful of pickpockets. I saw them in action at the Eiffel Tower.’
Another said: “I didn’t even bother using the Paris metro system, it’s much safer to just take an Uber.”
Another comment read: “They followed me in Paris.”
A fourth commented: ‘I traveled to Paris alone when I was 21, but that was 20 years ago. “I felt safe for the most part, but I know things have changed.”
