Women Traveling Solo
Hi,
I am a woman who has traveled solo in Asia,
Europe, South America, the US, and Australia for
extended periods of time. I would love to hear a
show about woman travelers. I worked for
Hostelling International for seven years, and I
can't tell you how many times I have heard
questions about women traveling alone. I tell
them the usual things--if you feel in danger in a
public place make contact with women, buy from
women in markets if possible, etc., but I would
really like to hear from an expert. I have had to
do all my traveling on the cheap, so it would be
great to hear about other women in my boat. I've
had just a few harrowing experiences, and it helps
to hear about others problems and victories. Could
you interview a woman backpacker? I have read lots
of women's travel books, so I know that their are
people like me out there.
Please forgive me if you have done this already.
I am a grad student and now often spend my weekend
afternoons (when the show is on in NY) in a
computer lab without a radio. I do try to catch
the shows when they advertise places or things I
want to know about (and my GPA probably suffers!)
Thanks for your great show--I love Marketplace
also!
--Laura
