I am a female solo traveler -the country where I felt the most unsafe is a European bucket list destination

A maker of Solo -Travel content has shared her honest views on where she feels unsafe as a woman – and one of her choices is a hugely popular European destination.

Savanna Crowell, who @Solowithsav Tiktok account describes itself as ‘your go-to solo travel girlie’.

In a recent video that has been viewed nearly 500,000 times, the New York -based traveler revealed three places where she did not feel safe.

Her first red flag destination is France – The world’s most visited country, with 102 million international tourists arriving in 2024.

She told her 54,000 followers that she had had a few uncomfortable situations in the country ‘, with problems at a number of locations.

“During my first solo trip to Paris, I was almost scammed by the ‘Petition scumblers’ in the Louvre,” she said.

Petition scanners often introduce themselves as charity workers or petitioners who can talk to tourists about worthy goals – before they put pressure to transfer money.

‘When I tried to get out, they became very aggressive … Fortunately I could get out because there were many other people around me.

Savanna also had problems in Nice, a beautiful city on the French Riviera.

While she only walked past a street, a man jumped out of the bush with a pointed stick in his hand ‘.

Savanna also says that he started chasing me on the road, finally threw the stick at me and laughed. “

Despite the popularity of France, a number of other holidaymakers in the commentary expressed their unfortunate experiences in the country.

‘Facts! A man followed me to the toilet of the girls in Paris and there is a part of nice super unsafe for women, “wrote Alexandra Priscilla.

Another user shared a story about a trip to Nice with her husband who saw a simple stop in a pharmacy Eng.

“He bought sunscreen and sunglasses and we walked outside and on the way outside he were stopped by a guard and we were taken to a back room where they had accused us of stealing,” said @Katieter01.

‘They went through our bags and bags and threatened us with the police, but would not even tell us what they thought we stole.

“We didn’t stole anything and in the end another manager came by and said we could leave, but it was super scary that we were held in this room with guards for a while.”

One person said she “had a guy who had harassed me in France,” although another wrote that they “felt super safe in France that drove solo.”

The second country that Savanna felt unsafe was Mexico, a place where she admits that they like to travel around.

“I had an uncomfortable situation with a man ever on a beach,” she said.

I was watching my own company, when he came up, I approached me, but his towel right next to mine and started asking me very uncomfortable questions – as I will stay, how long I will stay.

“Just very intrusive questions in which my feeling told me:” I have to get out of this situation. “

Savanna waited for the man to go into the ocean before taking all her possessions and ran off the coast.

Her third and last country to warn is Nicaragua, the Central -American nation between the Pacific and the Caribbean Sea.

Unfortunately, it was the place where the maker of the content experienced the most catcalling.

“It seemed everywhere I went on the street, when a man passed, he had to say something or make a noise – something that made me feel uncomfortable.”

It was so bad, Savanna said she just wanted to walk in very busy streets.

Despite her experiences, travel lovers admitted that she would return to all those countries.
