In a discussion on Reddit, a passionate traveler, who said he visited about 30 countries, asked women where they were “they felt insecure. “

“Brooklawyer” wrote: “AI was surprised that I felt very uncomfortable in Belgium, especially in Brussels. This small cute country, known to be a light travel destination had some lightly enlightened streets. And I was the only woman on some streets after 20.00. I felt something could happen and no one would have known ”, writes Dailly Mail.

Unfortunately, the tourist was not the only adventurer who felt insecure in Brussels.

“Giraffodil1” said: “I just got back from there. I traveled quite a lot and Brussels was the place where I felt the most uncomfortable, which was very surprising. Someone tried to rob me in five minutes after arrival, and the offenses were awful. Men never told me so disgusting things. I didn't feel safe going alone. “

Another tourist said that Brussels seemed to him “dirty” and “dangerous” And he revealed that he ended up spending most of his trip to the hotel.

She wrote: “Despite the fact that I had two nights reserved there, I walked for five hours on the first day, I checked the main market and the sculpture of the boy who pees (Mannekin Pis) and returned to the hotel and spent the rest of the time there ”

However, Brussels was not the only destination that received negative reviews.

Another woman traveling alone wrote that Palermo in Sicily was the place where she felt the most uncertain. He said: “Without knowing, I reserved my first accommodation in a dubious neighborhood. During the day it was fine, but once it was dark I was terrified to return alone.”

And another solo tourist warned women not to travel to Santorini in winter.

“KNOWN_ROYAL4356” said: “Santorini in winter. It was deserted, especially the beautiful white cities on the seaside – except for thousands of working men in construction. Nothing weird happened besides some looks, but I was always on the guard and I would not recommend it as a relaxing destination for a single girl. “

The passionate adventure explained that, although he has enjoyed his travels in each of these countries, he considers them difficult destinations for those who travel for the first time.
