Being a lover of adventure is not bad, in fact the experience is always mind-blowing. In past times, it has been known that some places are not safe for adventure, most especially for women. Most people travel with someone else or with a group, but those who travel on their own are independent and interested in exploring a new place from their personal perspective. Women who want to travel on their own have so many reasons why they do so. Some just want to capture every moment without any form of distraction.
With so many options around the globe, the possibilities are endless. But that doesn’t mean all places are safe. It does not mean a woman can’t have a perfect experience at one of these five listed places, but there have been cases of crimes, assaults, and related negative situations that have been recorded. If you’re a woman or know of one who is planning to travel alone to one of these places, it’s important to learn more before leaving. If you are against our opinion, you can ask people who have traveled there what their experience was like and what to do to be super safe in all situations. Kindly find below a list of places that are not safe to travel.
Morocco
According to Forbes, Morocco is a place women should be wary of. There is a “high potential for terrorist violence against U.S. citizens.”
Crime is high, with street robberies and burglaries happening often.
Pick-pocketing is something to keep your eye on and keep your purse close to your body. It’s always advisable to be on high alert at all times. Perhaps you’d be better off traveling to this country with a companion.
Jamaica
Jamaica is a popular destination for folks looking for sunny skies and beautiful beaches. But it’s important to be aware of your surroundings.
As per Forbes, “Popular resorts are fairly safe but traveling beyond those borders will mean dealing with unwanted attention. Violent crime is a serious problem throughout Jamaica, particularly in Kingston and Montego Bay.”
Peru
Thinking about Peru? You’d better think twice. As Forbes reports, “Armed robberies, express kidnappings, carjackings, petty theft, and credit card fraud top the list of State Department concerns in this South American country.” Before traveling to Peru, learn more about the culture and the safest spots to stay. Perhaps a tour guide to show you the ropes would be a smart idea as you navigate the country.
Cameroun
Cameroon may be on your “bucket list,” but before you book your trip, know the risks. Our Trip reports, “Taxis in this country are particularly threatening because the taxi-drivers themselves are constantly involved in assaults and rapes.”
Knowing this is a problem in Cameroon makes getting around potentially unsafe. Perhaps you can find someplace to stay that won’t require public transport.
Saudi Arabia
Women are not treated the same way as men are in Saudi Arabia. This is something that women must understand before traveling to Saudi Arabia. Learn the laws, rules, and regulations before going.
While every woman can decide on her own if traveling here solo is something she wants to do, we would strongly advise you to travel with a companion, preferably a male. No matter where you travel if you are going there alone, there are extra measures you should take to be as safe as possible. Have a great trip, stay safe, and share your travel experiences with others.
