What a great review of your experiences while traveling alone.
I absolutely love your quote:
"People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel."
I've never thought, that I would say something like this. But I feel more and more that there is a difference between traveling alone as a women or a man. Of course I have a lot of advantages, too that I'm a girl. But it's much more dangerous to travel alone for me than for you I think (already wrote about if you wanna read more here)...
but all in all I totally agree... It's much more dangerous in your head than it is in reality!
Hi Rebecca. True, there are many differences between traveling as a man or as a woman, and the situations you describe in your post rarely happen to me. Men usually are more straight forward in that regard, but as one of your commenters said; If you react kind, but firmly that you are not interested, most men will not push on.
I read about a woman the other day who is on a quest to walk around the entire world. She is 3 years in, and has camped all over the place. Check it out; http://www.shewalkstheearth.com

This situation I wrote about in the post ended like this: In the night the man came back and wanted "to talk"... I fortunately was in my car and not in my tent yet and could drive away..
the further days I stopped even looking to other man at the supermarket because I don't wanted to send the wrong signals to them...
What a great woman! I'll check her page! Thanks for the link..
