This was my first scary experience as a solo traveler.

What would you have done in this situation? Now I KNOW, the emergency numbers in Thailand are 911 or 191 for emergencies, fire, or unwanted intruding animals

[@meganngeorge]

Never question what your gut is telling you. I’m glad you’re safe.

[@katie9735]

Next time just start lying to people that start asking you unsettling questions. Say you’re here to visit your boyfriend, the neighbor is your best friend, your group of friends are waiting for you in the house and play videos of people talking.

[@katie9735]

I’m glad you chose to leave. Don’t feel ashamed. You live and you learn. Glad you’re safe.

[@KeaneLuvr]

Yes, don't feel guilty about lying or potentially being "rude" by being quiet like you said. Glad you're safe. Definitely let people know where you are! :)

[@joiab11]

You’re not dramatic- you listened to your intuition. I am so glad that you’re okay ❤

[@feralfascination]

As you said, your gut intuition has not lied before. Grateful you are well and honoring your wisdom

[@jjharrison512]

I've learned that being perceived as rude or dramatic is totally fine if it means it keeps you safe. Always follow your gut. Thank God you're alive 🙏

[@klaudiusz6233]

omg YES. I found out about myself, that I am often rather sitting out or struggling with an uncomfortable situation (talking with obvious scammers on the street for example), because I am too afraid of being perceived rude.

[@MelanieC1124]

But you absolutely were being guided and protected. Your intuition was telling you, "this isn't safe, get out" and you did just that! Keep trusting your gut! 🙏🏾

[@Q7d2]

I love the fact that you left. Even if it was an animal, or what ever it was, Following your gut and trusting your intuition is a powerful move.

[@KayyNova]

It's better to be safe than sorry. Trusting your intuition was the best thing for you. No need to be embarrassed.

[@funkyredhead1]

You did amazingly well. You called people, sent them your address, called the owner, packed and left and had the taxi pick you up at your doorstep. All the right things. Bravo!

[@sasasha655]

But she did that after the fact. She should have, at least, known the emergency number of that country. Do those things before you go.

[@ElizabethArmstrong-zn8np]

I travel solo around the US and outside of the US. I don’t feel comfortable with cab drivers asking me all the kinds of questions you mentioned. I’ve found that when these cab situations arise, I say I can’t hear them. I tell them my ears are ringing b/c of the travel. I know it isn’t the best solution, but it gets them to stop talking to me. I also wear a fake wedding ring. I’m sorry you had to go through this, thanks for sharing. I love traveling, I’m not going to stop. Safe travels to everyone 🫶

[@Patita1969]

Thank you. That is awesome advice. I going to use it that and share it with my daughter.

[@rubylimey7614]

Good tips...I have not travel much but i tell everyone I'm Jamaica it helps disttract from the questions i start sing Bob Marley song n talk about USAin Bolt. Love the wedding

[@brinjpn]

Never feel guilty for trying to survive. It’s better to be dramatic than dead. I used to feel guilt over stuff like that too but not anymore. People are crazy no matter how much we want to see the good in others. I’ve had bad experiences just living where I live and traveling around as a woman. What I do is low-stakes lie. Say things like “oh I’m actually meeting up with friends who are waiting for me. My significant other gets worried when I’m late, etc.” Stay safe

[@Scotty2hotty-xc6gi]

Always sit in the backseat of the cab Play with your hair and pretend you’re taking a picture of yourself ….. Reverse camera and take a picture of drivers ID and his photograph …. A fake wedding band …. It’s always appropriate… Take some Thai boxing lessons ✅✅✅✅✅😎😎😎😎

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

As a solo female road traveller I’ve had several gut feeling moments like this one. Always better to leave because at the end of the day we are vulnerable alone. Better safe than sorry. Feminine intuition is NEVER wrong! Glad you are safe 💗

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

One of the instances I also had to take a few days to think about it. I felt guilty about assuming a person was bad. But it was a good reminder to stay vigilant. Whether something bad would’ve happened or not.

[@kellyemedia]

Eat! You’re going to be okay friend.

[@michellehenriques9164]

Don’t do that, don’t second guess your actions! You’re not wrong for doing what you did to protect yourself from harm. Your gut feelings are never wrong and even if they are, it’s always better to be safe than sorry! You’re still with us and I’m so glad because in the grand scheme of things, that is all that matters! Please eat something and keep your strength up. Vigilance of one’s environment is never ever a bad thing! Enjoy your visit and keep safe!

[@ms.angiesworld8696]

I’m glad you’re safe because you listened to your intuition and got out of there! Do not feel ashamed; you saved yourself from potential danger. Now you can offer safety tips to us travelers who also consider traveling alone. 🙏🏽❤️

[@AmberLive10]

I'm glad you are ok and let your intuition be your guide !!

[@rocimo124]

I love that you pointed out the experience of so many women. Struggling between being “polite” and “rude” in potentially dangerous situations. As an empath and people pleaser I want to learn how to not care about being polite when it comes to safety. I feel like we were never taught that as girls. I hope for future generations of women to learn the same.

[@michelleharris312]

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you honored your intution as we should, always. Very safe journeys and please take care.

[@Nubianette]

I think #1, focus on the fact that you’re ok, and in a more comfortable situation. Then, you’ve learned you don’t want to be in a remote place alone. That was a new feeling for you. Plus, you hurt yourself, and weren’t feeling well. This was a combination of destabilizing factors. That’s not your typical experience. You followed your gut, and you’re safe! Well done! 👏🏾

[@stylishthriftye]

I am so happy that you are safe and sound. Always trust your gut, it never fails. Does not matter what other people think. If your gut says otherwise, go with your gut. Never feel guilty about going with your gut. I know you are still processing all of this. Please go have something to eat. And then rest. Sending you lots of love and Light. 💖

[@saltyjenn]

This was terrifying! I’m glad you’re ok! Never feel bad for following your gut! You absolutely made the right call to get out of there. Thank you for sharing and spreading awareness about knowing emergency numbers etc. 🙏🏼

[@alexaviafara.888]

i am glad you are safe.

[@ipsilonia]

i’m so glad you’re safe!! when i solo travel i *never* tell strangers that i’m traveling solo. ever. usually i’m meeting up w friends or friends of friends, so i say just that. “i have some friends here” “i’m meeting up w friends” etc. i’ve never traveled to super remote places though, so i know those cases take much more caution.

[@elizabethzepeda2122]

You were right to trust your gut. So glad you are safe!

[@robann7817]

I was in Vietnam last month, many drivers were asking me all these things like "how long are you staying", "when are you going to travel back home" and then I figured out that it was because they wanted to make money and drive me to the airport hahaha

[@QueenofDC]

Exactly, I live in Vietnam, and they ask these questions to make money by driving you around. When I say I live here, that ends the conversation LOL!

[@carlitawilliams5594]

As women we have a tendency to suppress our feelings of uneasiness for fear of offending others or being perceived as being rude. I feel that you did the right thing by leaving. It’s a lesson learned. Do not be embarrassed or ashamed or let it ruin your trip. Give yourself some grace. So happy that you are safe 🙏🏽

[@malcolm1896]

Sis, I've learned that a peace of mind is priceless. Do what you got to do to feel safe and at ease. Glad you are OK, get something to eat and rest.

[@zaire-ida9316]

Don't beat yourself up! You trusted your gut and the only person you can really trust when you're alone is yourself.

[@AndreMoraesDesign]

We’re glad you’re here and thanks for sharing your story.

[@sierrashavon6459]

MISAKO! Super grateful you’re ok. Excellent job being so brave and getting yourself out of there and somewhere you felt safer! Also the fact that you were proactive in locking all the windows beforehand is something not everyone would do and it sounds like it was 100% the right decision. Try not to get down on yourself for not checking off a few other things on the proverbial solo travel safety list. You had just gotten there and were still trying to adjust to your new environment. Something in my gut says you made all the right choices when listening to your intuition to get in contact with some loved ones, grab your stuff and go asap! Especially after that uncomfortable situation with the driver. Finally, since sometimes taking personal weapons like pepper spray or a taser can be prohibited on flights, I like to take a whistle with me or a giant metal water bottle then once you land and get acclimated you could buy a cheap personal weapon somewhere. There are also personal alarms I’ve seen before but haven’t actually used. You did everything right and responded the best way you could in that moment and youre here to tell the tale! I think you dropped this 👑💕 Also, for any other fellow solo female travelers out there. Know it’s ok to make up a story or flat out lie if needed to protect yourself! We really never know what someone plans to do with the info we share. We don’t have to be totally rude (i wouldn’t recommend being very rude because it could put you in an even tougher spot if the man has a wild temper) to someone but it’s ok to be firm in saying, “I’m not alone but I’m not really comfortable sharing those details with a stranger.” Then you can Segway into trying to ask more questions about the local culture or the area you’re in or something to lighten the mood. It’s also ok to say, yep my friend is waiting for me or my boyfriend is meeting me in a little bit. (Y’all can be meeting on a phone call but they don’t need to know all that lol)!

[@brookexworld]

In the end, you trusted your gut & that's all that matters. No shame, no second guessing. Please eat something

[@15.johnsonangel]

Being guided and protected comes thru intuition as well. Good on you for trusting your gut. So happy that you got to a place where you feel more safe. Give yourself grace as you process this experience 💜 In other creeper news, I was walking down the street and this guy walked up on me asking me all kinds of questions in this low voice (are you single? Do you live alone? Do you smoke weed? Etc.) I was like 👀👀👀 He asked for my IG I saw that all his recs and feed was female model types. Super sketch. I just share that to say the creeps be creepin. It's definitely best to stay connected to what your intuition is telling you in all situations 💯

[@thisandthat0000]

Misako, you made it through this set of awful situations. Very glad you are safe!!! I'm not a professional but what you are describing in the end - that you stay in and don't eat - really sounds like a response to a traumatic experience (which is SO logical in the given circumstances!!). I hope you have people or maybe a mental health specialist to talk it through deeply. Please don't take the responsibility for that crazy noises from the window. You were not making them. Period. And you saved yourself from that situation which is the most important

[@lesleesoto1052]

Wow this was quite literally terrifying. I wouldn't doubt your gut. You're better off safe. I'm so glad you're okay! ❤

[@traciross8250]

Not dramatic. Not dumb. Adventurous, bold and ultimately, very smart to leave a place that was not a good fit. Shame on the person pushing the window and your boundaries. So happy you're okay!

[@Seuhues]

Never feel embarrass for prioritising your security. I’ve been in similar situations when solo travelling and is definitely not worth the risk. I’m sorry to see you so down, I really hope you get a speedy recovery and are able to enjoy all that Thailand has to offer. Big hug!

[@shelovesbooks8421]

always always always trust your gut! it kept you safe and just hold on to that

[@laurashelbayeh7904]

I’m sorry for that experience. During my time in Hong Kong I had a similar encounters (be follow at night , and I was robbed ) I learned from the locals not to be alone at night and to watch my surrounding . Yes, you are right it can happen at any place. Get your energy and peace back. I’m sure you will heal soon from this scary situation.

[@stephaniechang3799]

I am glad you are okay, Misako! I think you made the right choice by listening to your intuition. It is better to be safe. Everything else comes second. ❤️

[@keeonramusic]

You absolutely did the right thing by leaving. Always trust your gut. Being vigilant is a good thing. I had tears of joy by the end of your video because of your resilience. Build on that, and I hope the rest of your stay there is amazing. Stay safe and continue to be amazing. I love your videos. 🙏❤️🪷

[@kanikagordon1101]

No but why did I go flying off a scooter the first time I tried too? It was sooooo heavy and zooming along. I tried to slow down but I was on an angle at the top of a hill and when I tried to grip the handle so the bike didn't fall over I revved the engine. Please note that thing went flying into the air into an intersection. Luckily I was already off of it so didn't get injured but I was shaken for hours!! I'm so glad you did what you gut was telling you! I'm certain so many of us have done somewhere traveling that later we were like - bish what were you thinking 😩 People really don't seem to understand how uncomfortable those questions are especially when you're in a car with them with nowhere to escape to. It'll likely take some days to regulate again ❤ Hope you can get back to feeling easeful, and safe soon.

[@CuratedVibes]

I lived in Thailand 3 years, as fun and chill as the country is perceived, there is a dark undertone there. Lots of drugs, sex culture, trafficking, etc. Its also good to switch accommodations. Stay safe!

[@Oujiz]

I think when you’re living in Japan, you start to leave your survival kit behind. But this is a good reminder. It’s a shame that anyone should feel like that, but sadly it can happen-especially for women. That’s a reminder… safe travels back! TRUST YOUR GUT

[@QueenofDC]

I'm a solo traveler living abroad and you have to be rude relative to your safety. That's terrifying! Glad you're safe and sharing your experience and tips to help others.

[@monnie1027]

You were right to leave, and even an animal wouldn't have stopped pushing the window because you turned the light on. I'm glad you're safe. Don't stay in secluded areas by yourself. Thank God you're okay!🙏 Stay safe!❤ your videos !😁👍

[@jpnbaby]

I'm so glad to know you are safe Misako. Don't let this stop you from being your usual bold and adventurous self, but stay vigilant and listen to your instincts. x

[@nataliejo336]

Glad you’re safe! And I’m glad you used your senses. Not everyone is willing to share the full experience.

[@practicewithilianna7157]

So scary! I would have left that place as well. If I would have called me parents they would have told me to GTFO. Glad you’re ok. Your comfort is priority ❤❤❤❤

[@KhryztyamCR]

Hi, Misako! I always watch your videos, and I'm really happy that you're doing well and safe now. Can't imagine something bad happening to such a kind, inspirational, and thoughtful person as you. You're one of the people that have inspired me to make my dream come true about visiting Japan and I hope I manage to do it soon, at least for about 3 months. Your experience sounds like a really scary one, the only thing I can say is that I'm really happy and relieved that you managed to avoid every single bad thing that could've happened, and a good thing is that now you're gonna be more skillful and prepared to solo traveling again. Hopefully, by sharing your experience, other people are gonna be more conscious about this too. I'm writing to you from Costa Rica, Central America, and my native language is Spanish, so I hope I'm being eloquent enough with my words! :D

[@kristiannem6786]

So glad you're okay! You were NOT being dramatic at all. You trusted your instincts and intuition and it probably saved your life. Always trust your instincts. It's so crappy that we women have to feel this way and move through the world on such high alert. When I travel solo, I feel like I have to play stupid games to stay safe. 1) I have a fake wedding ring that I slip on when riding in cabs or in a questionable place. 2) I make a fake phone call from the cab saying something like "Hi babe, I'm on my way in the cab, see you in a few minutes". 3) I always book the hotel/Airbnb for a party of two, since it's typically the same price. 4) When I am checking in alone, I say my "husband, boyfriend, partner" is in a business meeting and will be along shortly. 5) I even make them give me two keys. I know this sounds ridiculously paranoid, but I think it might help me stay a bit more safe. I might be fooling myself, though!

[@cookiemama9756]

Girl, all you need is a big azz frying pan and get under that window. Somebody tries to get it...whap! They'll think twice!! I suggest as a woman, you take a womans self defense class. Wether you're in the U.S. or abroad, it's important that you can defend yourself if needed. It will also boost your confidence! Anything can be used as a weapon. You have heel of your palm, your teeth, finger nails...girl you're already equipped. It's scary to be alone but if you believe in the Most High God, know that you are never alone! Go in confidence, you got this!!

[@canar7]

I'm glad your sharing this and your safe now. Crimes against women who travel alone are crimes of opportunity. The case of Taylor Casey missing in the Bahamas is frightening. I've considered travelling on my own in the future but not disclosing personal details and being on your own in remote areas is risky. Good you listened to your "gut instinct" and left.

[@LLA246]

You did the right thing, ALWAYS trust your gut. Glad you're safe.

[@theknightway]

So glad you're safe! And thanks for sharing - whether traveling or not, it's good to be reminded to be aware of your surroundings, listen to one's intuition, etc.

[@andeesinterlude]

So glad you’re okay! As a woman that also travels solo often, sometimes I don’t inform my people of my moves or I get a little too relaxed talking to strangers so this served as a reminder to stay on point.. even if mostly for my peace of mind.

[@solaychula]

When I went to Krabi, I also stayed in the jungle area not knowing how far it was from the center and luckily I didn’t have a scary experience but definitely taught me to really study the area your staying in - even tho I’m a nature girl I travel alone a lot and know now to just stay close to the center - thank god you’re okay, sometimes these things happen to shake us up, we are all caught up in our own lil bubble but we need to remember the reality of the world and especially as women just be extremely cautious of everything and really think about anything that could possibly happen when your traveling alone

[@neilo1762]

Glad you left. Always listen to your gut! I'm glad your good!!

[@akalady03]

So thankful you’re okay. You did the right thing. Always trust your gut.

[@SURETHING21]

I'm glad you're safe. I've recently spent a month traveling throughout Thailand 🇹🇭 and on rare occasions found a taxis or Grab driver speaking or understanding the English language. Yes, you have some drivers, especially Tuk Tuk, hanging and hustling in front of hotels and tourists area in Bangkok spoke the basic with limited understanding of English. Please only use Grab since everything is recorded and monitored.

[@user-hr3he6zj9u]

You made the right decision always follow your gut it will never fail you God Bless you never book in a remote area by yourself again

Nope. You’re not being dramatic! Always respect your feelings! And thanks for sharing . Going forward i will make sure to get the number of local police in any country i visit.

[@thefifthdumpling]

Thank you for sharing! I am happy you did get somewhere at least you felt safer 💜

[@user-kk1jl1tz3s]

so sorry that this happened to you. thanks for sharing as it will help others. always trust your gut. you intuitively know what to do. listen to your voice. take care and stay safe.

[@DH-uw3us]

Thank God you're safe and are here to talk about it. If something doesn't feel right, it's not right. You were smart to listen to your intuition. Sometimes we don't even think about some of the risks we're taking. I can look back on some of my travels and realize now how big of a risk I took, even though nothing happened. It could have been an animal, but that animal could have been just as dangerous as a human if it had gotten in. Thank you for sharing your story. This is a good reminder to us all to think about emergency situations and what we should do if we're in a similar position. I hope you're able to enjoy the rest of your trip, and eat some good vegan food.

[@xjolie]

Imagining myself in your situation, I would’ve been terrified as well. I am glad you listened to your instincts and gtfo regardless of whatever it was. When you’re by yourself, any perceived threat is a real threat. Hopefully you’re able to process + heal and still enjoy the rest of your trip 🤍

[@TG-nn9ws]

I'm glad that you're safe. You did nothing wrong, always listen to your gut. I really appreciate you sharing your experience because it gives insight to all solo travelers. Your story definitely gives me a different perspective on things to consider when traveling anywhere. Thank you again.

[@chriswhiteiii]

I am so glad that you stood on principle and shared this debrief of your unsettling experience while everything was fresh and after you had two days of safe rest in a secure place. Everytime you said, 'Maybe it was just an animal', I was like, "Nah, you did exactly what you needed to do" with all of those variables that you laid out. Thankful again that you documented your gained perspective directly on location probably before you could break your time of not eating.

[@1111KO]

Thank God you're alive.

[@Evmahalo]

Your gut never lies.. your mind may go astray but that gut, it’s always on point. I’m so glad that you left and are better, safer.. chalk it up as an experience that brought you focus in a way that nothing else could. You’ll never be vulnerable like that again. I already know that ( and so do you❤)

[@sarafinalove5330]

Thank God you're okay. Sometime I traveled by myself and what I do, 1. never tell anyone taxi drivers, etc that I am alone, tell them you're with your brother, son, etc. 2. Stay in the city, especially first time in that country. 3. Book hotel or airbnb for about three days or so, if the area is not okay you can leave, but before you book a hotel or airbnb google to find out where tourist normally stay most times those are the safest areas. 4.Once you get to your location send pictures of where you're staying to family members or friends. Keep family members or friends up to date of your movements. Another thing you can do when booking reservation; make reservation for 2 people once you get there you can change to one person.

[@sophiemarcaurele]

I won't tell you how you should feel nor process what happened, and I'm glad you have the courage to be vulnerable with us with "difficult" feelings like shame ❤️ sending you loving vibes! I hope that by now, you had time to soothe yourself back into a safe, calm state so your tummy feels better and you can enjoy all the yummy things 😋❤ I had a thought: you can always reach to us if you have an emergency? Write a note on the channel? There's many of us around the globe, in different time zones: if a few happen to be close to you locally, especially if they speak the language, you can then go into private messaging to give them the address/coordinates so they can call the police and send them to check on you? 🤔🫡 I know I would have your back if you were in Canada! 💪🏼❤

[@kellyemedia]

Dude. Questioning is ok. You’re not being dramatic. You did the right thing. You learned a lot from the experience. Thank God you’re safe. 😊❤ You did the right thing. Always follow your gut!

You can't plan for everything, and if anything, you proved that you can think on your feet. Please give yourself grace ❤ Safety comes first, but safety is relative and dynamic. You learned what safety means to you now, and I think a lot of learning is by doing not by preparing. You can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather 🎶

Greatful that you are ok. I realize I am just a complete stranger but still I wish you could find a travel friend/ a partner. It makes a huge difference to travel with a close friend

[@thewonderingwallflowers7040]

Please don't feel bad, guilty, or even stupid about your decision to leave! You followed your gut feeling and got out of a situation that made you feel extremely uncomfortable. I'm glad you're safe, and I hope you will feel better soon. I hope this doesn't ruin the rest of your trip and you'll feel more comfortable to get out of your room and enjoy what Thailand has to offer. I hope you get some food, feel rested mentally and physically, and enjoy the remainder of your trip! Stay safe lovely!

Solo travel is as safe as you make it. Meaning if you wouldn’t do it normally, I wouldn’t advise to do it. Never give out your personal information to strangers. Lessons learned- luckily you are ok.

[@kimmixerxs]

Hey, sis. riding a scooter is really fun and exciting, I ride motorbikes. Go onto KZbin and watch videos of people teaching others how to ride a scooter. I'm glad you listened to your gut feeling and got out of there, to where you felt safe and secure. My suggestion is to go on excursions, where there are other people.

[@t.l1357]

Thank God you are ok. I've watched Energi's channel. I'm glad she comforted you. Last year I was about to go on a solo trip in Europe. I stopped at a "friends" house in NY. They convinced me to go ride on electric bikes. I do normal slow bike riding but had never been on an ebike or scooter. I felt great during the ride but hit something in the street and went flying off. I hit my face and whole left side on the street. Ambulance had to come and all. My friend never arrived at the hospital and I was alone. I've never been in an accident before and didn't want to wake my Mom because it happened late at night. Anyways, I was able to get an emergency flight back to my state with wheelchair assistance. I did it just in time because it took months for me to regain my full walking capabilities. I'm so thankful it happened within the USA and not when I would have been overseas alone. At any time things can go wrong. All we can do is to keep praying for God's protection. 🙏🏾

[@ms.inspiration385]

I've traveled the world as a solo traveler. You were right to trust your gut. Also, as you indicated, you must err on the side of caution and not book places in remote areas especially when you are alone. Additionally, never say you are alone. My "boyfriend, husband or friends" are always waiting for me. Finally, I never say how long I'm going to be there. Don't let this sour your solo traveling experience. Learn from this as you indicated in the video but keep living life to the fullest.

[@risemahadeva]

I'm so glad you're safe and that you listened to your 'gut'. No you weren't being dramatic. And even IF it wasn't a person trying to enter, this occurrence is a learning experience that will protect you in the future. Anything can happen anywhere. There are good people in the world, but there are also many evil people and some are living under the guise of being good, friendly people. So, if something seems off, listen. Also, your testimony could save others so thanks for sharing!

This exact same thing happened to my partner. He was riding there with his friends (in the north of Thailand) and it was getting dark and they got to a shitty gravel road. His guts told him to turn back to the hostel but he kept going and slammed himself to the floor. For the entire time he was there, he could not go into water because of the injuries. Lucky for him he is a man, and he was with a group of friends.Be careful out there ❤
