Glossy magazines, travel sites, instagram of friends and acquaintances praise every corner of the Earth so that you want to go there immediately. If you are traveling without a boyfriend and friends, then the main thing is to avoid 5 places that are dangerous for single tourists.
Many ladies are experienced travelers, accustomed to independently solving all problems that arise along the way. However, there are indeed places on the planet where credit cards and knowledge of languages will not help or even become the reason why you can be in the midst of serious trouble. And now we are not talking about dangerous countries where military conflicts are smoldering, such as Somalia or Afghanistan. No, our rating mentions states that are quite popular among tourists with many attractions. See for yourself!
Brazil
Wide sandy beaches on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the mysterious Amazon, bright carnivals - all this can serve as illustrations for the story of the most memorable journey, but only if you come to Brazil in the company of a man - dad, brother, loved one, friend, just a guide.
For single ladies, we can only recommend the tourist areas of the quiet and peaceful Rio de Janeiro. The ban will be:
- trips around the country, visits not only to small towns, but also to large cities like São Paulo;
- forays into the favelas - urban slums where power is concentrated in the hands of street gangs;
- boat trips around the Amazon in the company of hired Brazilians who will take all the valuables and just throw you into the river.
In Brazil, lonely tourists are often the victims of robbers. The ladies are stripped of gold jewelry, expensive cameras, and handbags are ripped out of their hands. That is why, even in relatively safe Rio, do not shine with expensive things and large sums of money.
A girl traveling on her own in Brazil is a legal prey for local macho. The rape of visiting young ladies is such a common crime in the country that it will not even be investigated, because the police have no reason to stand up for foreign women in front of the local leaders of criminal gangs.
India
All of India has long been mastered by tourists. There is something to see, something to be surprised at, where to take a picture. Some tourists go to India annually to practice yoga or learn various oriental practices, live in ashrams and generally consider this country one of the best in the world. True, only until the first unpleasant incident.
In fact, traveling around India is scary, even with a husband or boyfriend. Local men can easily cope with the escort of the lady they like. A young lady from Europe, relaxed, shooting with eyes, flaunting bare shoulders and knees, is the subject of interest of hot Indian men.
Rape in India is no surprise. The police even justify the local rapists, because this is just a need for love.
Another trouble in India lies in wait for those travelers who, having seen enough of the locals, who simply swim in the dirty Ganges, decide to follow their example. This river is teeming with bacteria that can cause unpleasant diseases.
It is relatively safe in India only in the state of Goa, where there are many tourists from the civilized world and there are decent hotels. However, do not go to Goa alone at night.
Colombia
Colombia is not a country where tourists are in a hurry to go. Everything that you have ever heard about this corner of the Earth is absolutely true. And narcotic plants are grown here, and many local residents are involved in drug trafficking, and there are partisans who like to make noise in big cities here too. Armed groups, which no one will ever find in the local jungle, periodically crawl out of their holes and organize intimidating actions in nearby cities. Nobody will be sorry for tourists - they got under the distribution, they themselves are to blame.
Also in Colombia there are many brothels where they will not give up a brave new lady from Europe who can please local gentlemen. Rape is not uncommon here either.
Calm regions in the country are considered only those that are located in the north. The wealthiest citizens live there, protected by the police.
Mexico
Mexico, familiar to our citizens, with the Mayan pyramids, warm sea and a lot of entertainment, in fact, is not as safe as one might imagine. You can go to Mexico and not return. Kidnapping is a common thing here. A white tourist girl is more likely to be made a sex slave. And this is not the worst thing that can happen to a visitor, because kidnappers can also be organ traffickers.
When you come to Mexico, stay within the resort, do not make your own forays into neighboring cities, do not go to poor areas, so as not to be in the spotlight of men with an excess of testosterone. Experienced tourists also recommend not to ride a taxi alone: drivers can rob you and throw you on the sidelines.
Finally, in Mexico, danger lies in wait on the other side. Here you should be wary of street food, which quickly deteriorates in the heat and causes serious poisoning.
Philippines
Travel magazines call the Philippines a paradise for divers and beach goers. There are hundreds of islands for every taste - with gorgeous beaches, hotels of different levels of stars and picturesque underwater depths. True, one Philippine island should be avoided. It is called Tavi-Tavi and is a place where the dregs of society live, robbing tourists of any gender.
Local residents are in gangs, sell drugs, have fun with tourists who had the imprudence to drink something in a bar, where they have already added a couple of pills that have a fatal effect on the psyche. The police turn a blind eye.
Countries that are dangerous for tourists can also include Australia, where local living creatures such as snakes and spiders drive even strong men into a stupor, Thailand, where a lady can be raped and then blamed for it, non-tourist Turkey, where frivolously dressed girls will become the prey of local men.
