Women traveling without men.                                            Back
In recently years I've meet quite a few women who were on their own in foreign countries. Something you saw very little of in the 60's - the early 90's. I give these women a lot of credit, they are living life to it's fullest not letting the fact that they can't find a travel partner stop them from going where they want to go.
The first Time I went anywhere alone, a friend backed out of a trip we had planned to the Florida Keys. We had installed a trailer hitch on his car so we could trailer my boat (At that time I had a17' dive boat, I wasn't sailing yet.) So I told him if after all the arrangements were made, he wasn't going, his car was & we exchanged cars for two weeks & I drove down to the keys, alone. I ended up having a great time and have traveled alone a lot since then.
When traveling alone your forced to socialize with the locals or other tourist. So you meet a lot of people
However, there are rules you should follow whether your a man or a woman and fair or not, more of these rules apply to women. especially in heavy Muslim areas.
Here are some web sites for women travelers: From the U. S. State Department  Travel News: Women Traveling alone,   American Women - road & travel,   Travel Spots. You don't have to go to all of them but should take the time to get some tips. Go enjoy yourself but be prepared.
There are quite a number of Travel Agencies that cater to women, here are a few.
