10 Countries where I felt SAFEST Traveling ALONE (+ 5 That Are NOT)

Did you country make it to the list?
After traveling to over 60 countries solo, these are the 10 countries that I felt safest traveling in, as a woman who is traveling alone. I also share the 5 places where I had personal encounters that made me feel unsafe, not to discourage you to visit them, but to help increase awareness on what could potentially happen when you travel alone.

Switzerland - I travelled here as a young woman with another female friend and we had a horrible experience with a man who offered us a lift. Exposed himself in the car - thought he was going to turn into a forest and full-on attack us. There are good and bad people in all countries - it would be wrong for people to think somewhere is safe on one person’s experience. Happy travelling ✈️🎇

[@o08O80o]

Preach

[@rahavi5416]

I don't intend to be offensive and I do agree with you that one person's anecdotal experience isn't a great sample size for determining whether a place is safe, but as young women it's really not a good idea to hitchhike and you shouldn't be surprised when a person who offers to give you a ride does something really horrible like what you experienced. Im sorry you went through that but in any country, safe or unsafe, hitchhiking is not a safe activity for single/ pair of women.

[@cruisecrazy7066]

You omitted Singapore. Very clean, very safe, and they mostly all speak English. My favourite country (other than my native Canada).

[@kirak1561]

As a German I can confirm Berlin not being that safe. When I was there nothing bad happened but I was never out when dark. Better go to Munich or small towns in Germany, Bavaria is very safe.

I really enjoyed your video!!! As a Chinese American, you have no idea how much it meant to me to hear someone actually speak highly of China. You're right, unfortunately it is a very misunderstood country. I have never been there before, and I admit that I have been ashamed to have origins from China. There have been many reasons I have not decided to go, but your video gives me hope and courage that one day I may go there. 💗 Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you!

[@porcelaincrown]

All I can say is go! The people are very nice and the food is amazing. As someone who lived in China, it's frustrating to see how the media likes to demonise such an amazing place

[@foodandbodyandsoul7565]

I've traveled to many countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and I had my phone stolen in Lucerne, Switzerland. I let me guard down when I read about how safe it is, but afterwards I reminded myself that people come in from all over, and I have to constantly be on my guard. Lesson learned. Never let your guard down no matter how safe a place feels.

[@pamh1648]

I just travelled to Japan and was really blown away with how safe and friendly it was. I was almost a little confused as to why an entire culture (country) feels safe, while others don't. What makes people different like that (not individually, but as a culture).

So I visited Berlin for a week and didn't feel safe. Nothing happened. There was no logical reason why I didn't feel safe but I just had a vibe and it set me on edge for the whole time. I was travelling with a friend and staying at the Cat's Pajamas and just that area itself, we'd rush out of it every morning, I didn't want to be out late because I didn't want to walk through it at night. Then we went to Budapest and vibe was a complete flip. We'd walk home to our hostel 15 mins out of the city centre with no concern after a couple of drinks. Sometimes it's not just about the things that happen but trusting your gut when it tells you to be wary.

[@amandareid6793]

I went to Europe solo earlier this year and had the exact same experience!! I seriously didn't feel safe in that city.. Flew to budapest right after Berlin and felt so much safer.

[@esthergarcia219]

[@katiirabbi]

Hey Kristen, you're one of the few solo female bloggers who's spent a substantial amount of time in China, and thank you for including it on your rec list! Despite its sheer population density, China has top hospitality and very low crime rates especially involving tourists, which is not something that's widely known to the international audience. The people may not appear as "polite" or "attentive" as the Japanese, but they are extremely warmhearted and take it upon themselves to help you out. Hope you can go back to explore more of the country! Gansu and Xinjiang provinces in the northwest have ancient Silk Road remains and otherworldly landscape that look like Mars.

[@Yuusea]

It also helped that she is white. As a Chinese born who escaped that hell scape country this wouldn't be the case if you are Asian (and God fobid if you're any type of Asian other than Chinese or if you are a darker skin Asian).

[@Bemytravelmuse]

That may be. I also forgot to mention I speak mandarin and that did open a lot of doors.

[@Yuusea]

@@Bemytravelmuse that definitely helped and would have been a good point to make. Because if you don't know the language (and regardless of what I said about race) scams are rampant in China if they realise you're an easy target (you don't need to go far in google or reddit to see the warnings about taxi and shops trying their best to make the most out of tourist wallets). Not knowing the language and being a female are two of the worst combinations to have while traveling to China so it's definitely not a good country to recommend so openly.

[@bojackkatarn]

@@Yuusea What part of China is the "hell scape" part? China's average per capita GDP (nominal $12K) has crept up to the level of many Eastern European countries, on par with a Bulgaria or Romania (which is impressive considering its 70X the population) and the Tier 1 cities, i.e. Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, are downright luxurious.

[@chengqihuang9364]

@@Yuuseathis is just not true. If you ask for help, most of the Chinese people would try their best to help, regardless of you ethnicity. But if you do not ask, it’s just harder for people to go out of their way to help you, because they are not sure whether you need their help or not. Chinese people are generally reserved, it’s not easy for us to start a conversation with strangers. But when you look foreign and probably in need of help, people would notice, and they would reach out.

As a Chinese immigration to the US for over a decade, I must say I do not feel surprised at all that China made the list. Most people I ran into are nice and willing to help if needed. Just a few notes: you might come across scams in hot tourist sites, overcharging, pocket-picking, etc. But these people might treat white people with more respect, which I do not like since I have to admit Chinese are very racist. And people will treat you with more respect or politeness if you dress nicely and high-end. Yes, Chinese admire wealthy people and they treat poor people badly. Other than that, I feel completely safe in terms of your physical safety. You might be pocket-picked, but 99.9% chance you will not be hurt or involved in any sorts of violence, which is quite different compared to city life in the US.

I know the name of the video is called ”countries where I FELT safest” but I still think it’s a shame to emphasise these one time events and thereby discourage people from travelling places. I personally had an awful experience in Copenhagen in a lift - where a man started full on wanking and asked me what my hourly rate was, like these things can happen anywhere! Of course there are places that are more or less safe, but then I would look into statistics rather then listen to these singular accounts… I get that this is just someone sharing their experiences and that it’s not that deep, but I feel like spreading these stories just unneccisarily gives countries a bad rep. I’ve personally been to all the places on her ”unsafe” list (except for the Phillippines) and haven’t had a bad experience in any of them… obviously the Tanzania one is moreso valid because it’s a weather thing…. but overall a lovely place. In Nepal I even spent a full on two months and loved every second of it, and it’s literally known as ”India light” - and I think it’s a great starting out country if you’re new to the travelling scene!

And commenters from India saying India is best when with a trusted guide, they admit it's not suitable for a solo female traveler. I would love to experience India, but the track record for safety for women has not been great.

​@kidscafe493 Being an Indian woman let me clear the air. Cities like Mumbai are safer than any other part of the world when it comes to women's safety, and I will stand by it. However, yes there are certain places in the north that are not safe for women (Noida-Gurgaon area, Jharkhand, Bihar and UP) where I've felt extremely unsafe. South Indian cities and towns fall in the middle of the spectrum.

Yes, unfortunately Germany has become increasingly unsafe and dirtier over the last ten years. We are also aware of this here in Germany. A lot has happened in Merkel's politics and it is difficult to correct it now.
