*sigh* I feel like I don't even need to read this article in order to have read this article.
On the plus side, at least there are a lot more blogs by awesome solo female travelers these days than there were a decade ago when I set off on my first solo backpacking adventure.
Fun fact, for all the shocked gasps I get for having traveled alone in Turkey, Guatemala, etc. the most unsafe I've ever felt as a solo female traveler was on a ferry between Italy and Greece and I have 10 times as many memories of worrying over my safety/encountering disconcerting "attention" while going about my daily life in the US than while traveling abroad.
