of course you need to have back up resources if you get robbed. - Guy Jun 2, 15:15 11
- don't forget she's female traveling alone, which means she can't rough it quite as much. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 15:17 10
  - i dont' know Hotkiss, so i dont know what shes capable of, but while i realize it is more difficult/dangerous for a female - Guy Jun 2, 15:19 9
    - it IS different. Take Tunisia, girls are being harassed there. Sometimes even when they're with a man. I would not want her to go there all alone. -- nm - marcel Jun 2, 15:47 4
      - i wasn't aware Tunisia was on her shortlist. :) -- nm - Guy Jun 2, 16:12

        i'm not talking crime. you can't pick say "i'm not going there, there's a serial killer" - marcel Jun 2, 16:09 1
        
        Not what I was meaning. Danger is everywhere, you've just got to gauge what you can handle and take precautions to keep yourself safe. - the liioulu with not done rings Jun 2, 16:12
    - It depends, really, on where you are, what you're doing, and how much experience you have. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 15:20 3
      - HK has no experience. But, it seems she wants to rough it. That's a way to get experience, I guess. -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 15:46
      - ... and whether you know Krav Maga or Muay Thai ... or both ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 15:39
      - agreed. but also - what your threshold/mindset is for enjoying yourself in different settings -- nm - Guy Jun 2, 15:35
... and without insurance, there goes your arm or leg ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 15:11 5
- Speaking of legs in foreign lands, I have a good friend who got in a motorcycle accident in Croatia. - Dr.Vermin Jun 2, 15:20 4
  - I'll remember this when I need heart surgery. What's that story I just heard on This Week in Tech? - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 2, 15:40 1
    - Honestly, doctors should have stats like sports players that people haggle over. - Beryllium Jun 2, 15:48
  - Nice! :) - Beryllium Jun 2, 15:35
  - shocking! :) -- nm - Guy Jun 2, 15:34
