Posted by Foxy777I plan to check homeland security travels warnings. Lately there has been a rise in attacks on women traveling alone. First hand experience helps a lot.Posted by STILLI do. I went hosteling I had my brother and two friends though.
Anyone have first hand knowledge?
I would say no.
If you have to make connections that mean you will be in train stations early morning or after dark etc you don't want to be a female tourist alone.
It also depends on where you go I was only in Bucharest.
Its better than Prague though.click to expand
Posted by Foxy777I have group trips coming up, but there's a few places that I'd like to visit that people aren't on board with, so I'll go alone.Posted by STILLTo be honest as a female i wouldn't travel anywhere alone if i had the option not to. But that's just me.Posted by Foxy777I plan to check homeland security travels warnings. Lately there has been a rise in attacks on women traveling alone.

Posted by elllleThanks. This is what I want to hear.
Yes. I travelled alone to Romania but I did stay with friends in an Airbnb. I met up with @Damnata and @Justagirl
However, I travel alone a lot (just got back from Prague a few months ago) and even if I didnt have friends to meet in Romania...after being there, I would feel 100% comfortable on my own.
Posted by 777Lol I do have that problem.
Just dont be too friendly. That's how u get kidnapped
Posted by Foxy777The former is my preference. I like to venture off to non tourist places, but since I'd be alone, I'll keep my joie de vivre to a minimum.Posted by elllleA lot depends on where you are going and what you plan to do.

If you plan on going horseback riding and painting etc its different from if you want to go play in casinos and go clubbing.click to expand

Posted by Ram416Thanks so much. This information helps me to determine if I will go alone. I have 2 trips before I start planning for Romania.

I went there in 2015 via Dortmund, and haven't regretted it.click to expand
Posted by MissScruffsSpeaking of wine, I remember I barely drank while I was there. Which was sad, since alcohol is so damn cheap there compared to Singapore. I was drinking mostly sodas and water lmao.

No I don't live there anymore. It's been years since I last went to visit. We had my aunt and cousins come here (to the US) to visit us more often.

Posted by MoneyTreatsHer review for me will be a carbon copy.
I booked at damnata’s air bnb
Then she gave me poor reviews as a guest
“Ate all food in the fridge”
“Did not do any laundry”
Posted by elllle
I do have one tip....
Don't happy dance down marble stairs with socks on....especially if nobody else is around.
You most definitely will fall.
I could be speaking from experience, not sure. (thank gawd they didn't see me)

Posted by Jammerwheelslol I won't. Thanks.
Don’t tell anyone you meet that you are traveling alone. My two cents 😉
Posted by elllleI am very standoffish at first, but if I don't feel threatened I get super friendly and very personable. It's natural for me to warm up to women much faster, but I am aware that men send women to lure other women and children, so I'm now more careful. I've experienced it a few times.Posted by JammerwheelsThis ^^^
Don’t tell anyone you meet that you are traveling alone. My two cents 😉
I'm a friendly person and will talk to anyone....when I was in Prague, I was often asked if I was alone (which I thought was a little weird but maybe it's culture) and I always said I was waiting for my friends.
People also asked where I was staying and I always give vague answers and never brought anyone even remotely close to my apartment.
If you travelled alone before, you probably know these things but they are important to note.
I also would take different routes (because I would also find a place I liked and go everyday #fixedsignproblems) so people couldn't pick up a pattern.click to expand

Amazing? Sounds like a pretty good time, if you gave the "crazy American" impression. lol I'm becoming more and more interested.....
I'm sure it would be more fun with company though. I'd be less reluctant to explore.
Like you I like my travel buddies as buffers, but for different reasons.
Awww a cute lil 5 footer. I'm "average height", 5'5.5". Don't know if you consider that tall or not. lol
How long was the total of both flights? What time of season was your visit?
Did you stay in contact with any new people you meant? How were the other people not so nice?
Scotland sounds nice. When are you going?

didn't see this at first because you didn't quote or tag me
Flight from here to Heathrow was 12 hours, then a 5 hour layover. Flight to Bucharest was 3 or 4 ( I think) I was up a total of 24+ hours. I took a red eye thinking I would sleep overnight.. but nope. Also I was going forwards in time so I lost a half day to day in travel but gained it back coming home. Right now it's 11:42 am and in Romania its 9:42 pm .
I went in November. I was with Elle and Nata, meet a few of Damnatas friends, her sag moon buddy is awesome! She played tour guide and took us to a bunch of places. I think it was more of a cultural difference than anyone not being nice. I'm very picky eater and I think they were not used to someone asking for stuff to be removed. I got some funny looks over it. Asking for a regular coffee would get you an espresso, that still cracks me up.
No clue yet on when.click to expand

I have two, out of the country trips, before I begin planning for Romania. Is it ok to PM you with questions when I'm ready? And is there a weblink to your Airbnb?click to expand
