A1 #pttravel I have travelled to many Muslim countries, and must state the great majority of their people are friendly, kind, considerate and peace-loving.

Warnings or dismay about a female traveling solo. Iāve traveled alone to Morocco, Egypt, Israel, all over Europe, Mexico, Hong Kong, and Central America. And hey, Iām still alive! #PTTravel

I really, really hate the ātravel is about the journey, not the destinationā cliche. You can stay on the plane all day if you like, Iām getting the hell off. #PTTravel

A1. There's a grain of truth in most stereotypes. It may not be every person from group X that acts in a certain way, but just one can reinforce an opinion #pttravel

A1. My favorite stereotype is that āAfrica is really dangerousā. Aside from the fact that itās a huge and very disparate mass of land where obviously not all parts are equally safe/dangerous/whatever. itās really no more or less safe than the US (my home country) #PTTravel

That Kenya is unsafe and deprived everywhere! Whilst there are deprived communities there's plenty of rich people as well which I didn't expect. Plus I felt so safe out there, the people are so lovely #pttravel

A1- I get annoyed by people who refuse to travel and experience something new, especially when they come with excuses like "It's too expensive, I can't speak the language, they won't have any food I like...." #PTtravel #travelingsession

A1 #PTTravel
The worst myth or advice I've been given is not to travel because it's too dangerous. Planes crash, people get murdered, food poisoning, malaria, robberies, the list is endless.
I've survived! It's really not that bad & you just remain careful
