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

        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
