Woman Shares How She Was Trapped In Her Hotel Room For 6 Days: “Found Myself In A Living Nightmare”
Traveling alone has its pros and cons. Unfortunately, going on a solo trip might not always be the wholesome experience you were expecting. Research shows that the majority of female travelers are worried about their personal safety. And the reality is that some countries are far more dangerous for solo travel than others.
An anonymous woman turned to the Legal Advice UK online community for advice regarding a trip abroad that turned into a “living nightmare.” She opened up about how she was accosted by men so often that she cut her vacation short and booked an emergency flight back home. Read on for the full story, including the advice internet users gave the woman.
Solo travel can be very dangerous in certain parts of the world. It’s important to evaluate the potential risks beforehand

Certain world regions carry a lot more risk for female solo travelers. The danger can vary a lot depending on the part of the country, too

Statista reports that safety is a major concern for female solo travelers. Based on data collected during a 2023 global survey, 61% of respondents said that one of the main obstacles stopping them from going on a solo trip worldwide was personal safety.
Meanwhile, one of the biggest obstacles for 65% of respondents was the higher cost of traveling alone. 46% noted that another obstacle was not having someone to share the trip with, while 4% were worried about getting lost.
According to Riskline’s Female Travellers Safety Map, which looks at laws and customs, safety, and health and wellness, Europe is the most widely safe area for female travelers.
Traveling in the Asia-Pacific region, Singapore, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand is also very safe. Female safety can vary significantly between countries in North America and Latin America. There’s also a lot of variation in larger countries.
“For instance, the travel experience in Mexico and Brazil could differ significantly between different states. That’s the case also for other big destinations like India,” Riskline states.
“On the other hand, most of the SSA [Sub-Saharan Africa] and MENA [Middle East and North Africa] regions are notoriously unsafer for women, due to political and social instability, ongoing conflicts, and lack of services and infrastructures that grant safe travel experiences.”
A serious issue is that according to the anonymous woman, her trip to that particular region was recommended to her by a travel agent. This raises a lot of questions about the reliability of that particular employee and the agency they work at.
Some internet users were concerned that the woman’s account was suspended after she shared her story

It’s a matter of fact that there are countries and regions around the globe that are dangerous for all travelers. Meanwhile, others are particularly risky for women, especially solo travelers. Any agency worth its salt knows this and should issue the necessary warnings about the potential risks and guidelines for staying safe(r).
The OP also claimed that the travel agency kept ignoring her emails and calls regarding a refund for her tragic vacation.
The OP’s story went viral, garnering nearly 3k upvotes and over 600 comments. We were unable to reach out to the author for updates and to hear more about what she went through because her account was suspended soon after she posted her experiences online.
This suspension actually sparked a discussion in the media. Evie Magazine speculates that the woman may have lost access to her account due to Reddit moderators censoring her for going against the community guidelines and using ‘hate speech’ in her story.
The politically conservative magazine also notes that some comments where people shared statistics about harassment and violence around the world were (allegedly) also deleted by the moderators.
“By labeling the woman’s account as ‘hate speech,’ Reddit not only invalidates her experience but also perpetuates a false sense of security about solo travel to certain regions,” the magazine states.
Why the suspension happened is impossible to confirm without first getting in touch with the OP, who can’t be reached because she’s suspended on Reddit. It’s a Catch-22 situation.
What are your thoughts on the entire situation, dear Readers? Do you think the woman is entitled to a refund for her vacation going so wrong? What are your experiences with solo travel? What risks do you take into account when choosing your travel destination? What advice would you give new solo travelers to stay safe abroad? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Here’s the advice some internet users gave the author, though they added that they’re ‘not a lawyer’ (NAL)

There are plenty of safe countries for solo female travelers, India is not one of them. It's somewhere near the top of the list of countries where women shouldn't set a foot. On the French foreign affair advice website, it's probably the only country with a chapter about the risk of SA for female travelers.

While I do sympathise, if she had truly done her homework and research instead of just trusting the travel agency, she would know India is not a good place for single females to travel alone. I tend to travel alone and India is off that list, as is Egypt outside of Hurghada/Sharm for the very reasons she described. Got thoroughly harassed and followed in Luxor and Aswan - this was happening to a black girl in my hotel who kept being called Bob Marley anytime she went outside. It was better when we started going out together but we still got followed and surrounded, and in one notable incident almost sold off for camels. Don't trust travel agents, they want your money. Do real research, go on review sites and get traveller experiences before choosing a destination that might not be safe for you as a single female travelling alone.

My thoughts exactly. Trusting the travel agent without doing your own research is pretty risky. Bare minimum, and something all international travelers should do, is check the state department's website to see what countries are currently considered unsafe for Americans (your country's equivalent for non-americans). Going to sites like TripAdvisor is a good way to see how things have been for recent travelers. Even if a travel agent went there you don't always know how recently. I think checking with the travel agent gave her a false sense of security. I also feel the agent was negligent in not advising her to do her own research also.

What a horrible story! When I think where I could travel alone as a woman, India is likely the last place to come to my mind. It's a little weird that OP did not know that (or she did an that's why she confirmed the safety of the area more than once with the travel agency). I have no idea what the travel agency was thinking when they recommended her to travel to India alone.

Perhaps she thought it would be like a Caribbean all inclusive resort? I remember a couple decades ago my ex and I went on vacation to a somewhat notorious island. We were given a list of safety rules: Under no circumstances should I (female) go outside the resort alone. Stay on the resort beach because it was patrolled. Only use taxis the resort employees call for you. Only go on excursions the resort books for you. I’m sure there were more but I don’t recall the rest. Bottom line, the resort was safe and so long as we only used services they booked for us we should be safe but the rest of the island might not be. Of course, my ex promptly hired a jeep and we drove all over the island on our own. The only encounter with locals I remember, we had stopped by the side of the road to take some pics of a gorgeous view. A family (looked like mom, dad and kids) briefly stopped on their way past to ask if we were alright or had the car broken down. The odd thing is that actually drove the message about safety home. They were obviously worried that the pasty whites were off-resort.

While it's true she could have done more research, she trusted the travel agency, whose business it is to know these things. They failed her badly. Not only in reassuring her, more than once, that she would be safe. But then not being available to help. As to blaming her wardrobe, etc., I suspect it would have been the same if she'd been in a nun's habit. She was a foreigner, female, and alone. She was seen as prey. Nobody should have to experience that.

They can't have knowledge of every person around every hotel. No person behind a desy has been to every hotel in the world. Without an adverse advisory, they have no basis to say a place is unsafe.

It goes on EVERY DAY. It is an appalling situation caused by male bias and official corruption. Small children are regularly abducted, gang raped and murdered. It regularly makes the UK news due to the political protests. Again, due diligence by the OP would have prevented this having happened. You just don't go wandering a poverty stricken third world country as a single white female. That's asking for trouble. It may not be how things should be, but it is how it is. I'm not standing up for any over-horny Indian males-quite frankly if a few of them were shot then it might put a stop to it.

I've traveled in many more or less unsafe countries. Was mostly fine because I adapt to local circumstances, cover up when necessary, etc.. But India? No way. Her travel agency sucks hard. But also I do not understand why she wanted to go to India alone in the first place, if you're looking for a place to resty and recover.

Counterpoint, I've travelled solo as a woman in India, it was a great trip. Maybe treating an enormous country like a monolith is idiotic, so we can agree there are safer and less safe places. Even within the same city, there are many safer and less safe areas/activities. I didn't find any difference in identifying danger in India as I do in the US. OP had a terrible experience, but she didn't even leave the hotel and go somewhere else, just flew home.. she must not have really wanted to see wherever she was in India, she just wanted to see the resort.

So from the comments, I understood that a travel agent does not need to do any research about any destinations that they are selling, doesn't even need to know basic restrictions, etiquette and certainty doesn't need to communicate any of this to a client.

I don't want to victim blame, because what those guys did to her was disgusting, but it might have helped for her to do some of her own research before she traveled. I also would like to know exactly where in India she went. By identifying it, she could help other women avoid going there.

I can understand people trusted just one source of information fifty years ago. But now, with the internet and social media we can check a million opinions before choosing anything, from a restaurant to a holiday destination. Why did she trust the travel agent instead of doing her own research? What happened it's not her fault, and it's not fair, but the world is no fair, and there are plenty of places which are not safe for certain people, like women, lgtbi+, whatever. If you are a woman travelling alone, choose a safe destination.

Indian woman here. Sorry for this. The trouble with some (if not all) is their obsession with white skin. God knows why.. An advice from me would be - Do research on the hotel and place first.. even i would not go to some places... There are good hotels which are safe and will help.. I think you must have gone to Odisha or Andhra or Telangana.. Solo travelling is good for cities with known traffic of tourists..

India is a huge country, experiences will vary, like anywhere else, I wouldn't paint it all with one brush from one trip . My travels in south Asia, solo and in a small female group have been as safe as in Western Europe where I currently live. You're a guest in someone else's country, the least you can do is learn about what's normal and expected. The more you know, the more you are left along. If you go to a touristy place and look like a tourist, you'll get targeted by scams, pickpockets etc. Some places aren't safe, some are safe during the day, but looking like you're scared and have money to burn are the worst signals to send. I usually feel safer travelling with women than men, if you're in a place where the genders are often separate. You can act more like a local mad be in female spaces, plus you don't get weird aggression from men to a male companion. There are benefits and drawbacks to both. But don't write off all of a India because of a bad business trip.

Solo female world traveler here; I've been to 29 countries: most of Europe, Canada, Mexico, and Morocco. Only in Morocco was I catcalled, and I'm 50+, so not looking to go back. India is the last place I'd ever want to go as a solo traveler. I'm brown eyed, brown haired and overweight, also over 50, and I'd still expect a lot of unwanted attention just because I'm American and carry myself with confidence. And that's too bad because India is rich in history, has some lovely country, and has over 10,000 holy places. I am missing out... but don't want the nastiness from men.

She should have done some research on her own about the location on the internet and taking a look at the own goverment's website for traveling abroad is an absolute must before leaving said country. I don't say that to blame her, as the travel agent is cleary the arsehole for putting clients in direct danger - her story is just a very good example why doing some additional research is an unavoidable necessity

Staying in a low budget place anywhere increases your chances of skeezy times.
Secret Squirrel 4 weeks ago
She's from the UK, and didn't care enough about her destination to Google let alone read up on the culture and history, she just wanted a cheap holiday on a beach. There are plenty of closer destinations, with short/cheap flights, so pretty clear she just wanted cheap. Guess what? The cheaper you go, the more likely bad actors will be there as a coincidence or will be targeting vulnerable travellers. I've backpacked and cheaper it around several countries and it's wonderful, but you do have to be realistic about what you're paying for. Know how much to get a clean, safe room, and know that if you go cheap, leaving the hotel is best for activities. Sometimes you need a place to stay and you end up in a skeezy place, just don't be an idiot and it's usually ok. If you get creepy vibes, time to move on. If you want luxury, you have to pay for it.

Always, always, always do your own research. I've been on a few solo holidays and I'd never trust a travel agent for advice, they want your money and they'll lie to get it. India, Egypt, South Africa, Middle East (and sadly many more) are extremely unsafe for female solo travellers. If anyone is looking to travel solo, please look into crime stats (all, but especially against women), reviews, others' accounts of their visit etc.
FreeTheUnicorn 4 weeks ago
I didn't realise people still booked with travel agents. But, if there's no official warning from the state department, you don't have any recourse for a refund. Do the bare minimum of research before you travellots of websites with articles on solo female travels. I've travelled extensively and if you follow local modestly standards for dress and in areas that have them female recommended curfews, most of the world is not like the story above. I've travelled extensively solo and the only places I've been hassled to a scary degree was in Florence and Guatemala city. Buddying up in Florence helped a lot and I didn't have any issues in the rest of Guatemala. Do some research, travel somewhere else next time.

Research is very important. An agent just wants to sell you things. I've lived in Mumbai all my life and from experience know that some areas of the city are where you dress up more conservatively and others where you can wear crop tops and more revealing outfits. If OP went to the beach, she probably wore clothing that's appropriate for the beach from where she's from. That doesn't work everywhere in India. Unfortunately some Indian men take that as an "invite" and think the woman is "open for business." It's disgusting. For example, Mumbai has a beach too, but no one goes there to sunbathe and swim. It's filthy so if you turn up there in a bikini, you'll be harassed. Whereas if you go to Goa, it's very normal to wear a bikini on most of the beaches there. But again, that's where research comes in. India is only safe if you play it safe.

I have always wanted to go to India but they have some of the highest rates of violence against women in the world, honestly don't think just going with a friend would be enough for me, would want to go with a native Indian friend. Given all of that, I also don't want to spend funds in areas that I feel treat women horribly either, like Dubi, seems like an amazing place to see but it feels morally wrong to financially support a place that has a horrible human rights record. Feels like supporting a system and ignoring the atrocities they commit.

In the US, travel agencies are legally obligated to inform their clients about known unsafe locations at their travel destination, meaning they have a "duty to warn" customers about dangers that are not readily apparent, and could be held liable if they fail to do so; this is considered a part of their "duty of care" to clients. https://hospitalitylawyer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Summary-Scope-of-Duty-of-Care.pdf In other words, it is legally their fault for not warning her, not her fault for not using other research sources, and if she can prove that they failed in their duty of care, she could absolutely prosecute or sue them.

Until now India would never be on my radar if the beach was a significant factor because there are so very many good destinations east of India, as well as around the Mediterranean (figuring she's European). Just a cursory Google search tells me that common advice for India is to dress modestly (everywhere) and that it's common for women to get unwanted (or worse) attention even at popular destinations. That almost certainly means the travel agent did a terrible job, but I strongly suspect this woman didn't do nearly enough of her own research. I think that even if she went to the beach naked with a vibrator she's capable of asking if she wants an audience or assistance, but the reality is that even modest behaviors (standards depend on region and culture) that would be fine in many destinations will increase problems with many of the men in other places. Given the account of her first day, I'm really puzzled over the beer story, unless it was the person who poured or served the beer.

As a young woman you should't travel alone. Even in safe countries there are a lot of dangers. Travel with friends or in group, you don't have to stay the whole time with them, but in case of emergency you can call someone or ask for help. It is very unfair, but as a (young) woman you are very vunerable. Maybe I am pessimistic, but my granddad was an police officer and he has seen too many s**t happend to women.

Ive travelled quite a bit as a single woman and never had any issues that were bad enough to ruin trips. I think you maybe underestimate how much s**t is baseline for women in their home city/town. Honestly most places you're better off with emergency numbers than a second tourist if you're in trouble. There are more precautions to take, but many women travel solo and very few regret it. It's a big wide world.

But maybe wanted to know better and was happy the one travel agent wanted to sell the trip. At a certain age it is more important what one person says than 100 others. Maybe she dreamt of some cool insta-photos. It too depends on the travel agency, doesn't sound like a solid one, but cheap and dodgy. What did she do on the beach? Lie in the sun in a bikini?

There are plenty of safe countries for solo female travelers, India is not one of them. It's somewhere near the top of the list of countries where women shouldn't set a foot. On the French foreign affair advice website, it's probably the only country with a chapter about the risk of SA for female travelers.

While I do sympathise, if she had truly done her homework and research instead of just trusting the travel agency, she would know India is not a good place for single females to travel alone. I tend to travel alone and India is off that list, as is Egypt outside of Hurghada/Sharm for the very reasons she described. Got thoroughly harassed and followed in Luxor and Aswan - this was happening to a black girl in my hotel who kept being called Bob Marley anytime she went outside. It was better when we started going out together but we still got followed and surrounded, and in one notable incident almost sold off for camels. Don't trust travel agents, they want your money. Do real research, go on review sites and get traveller experiences before choosing a destination that might not be safe for you as a single female travelling alone.

My thoughts exactly. Trusting the travel agent without doing your own research is pretty risky. Bare minimum, and something all international travelers should do, is check the state department's website to see what countries are currently considered unsafe for Americans (your country's equivalent for non-americans). Going to sites like TripAdvisor is a good way to see how things have been for recent travelers. Even if a travel agent went there you don't always know how recently. I think checking with the travel agent gave her a false sense of security. I also feel the agent was negligent in not advising her to do her own research also.

What a horrible story! When I think where I could travel alone as a woman, India is likely the last place to come to my mind. It's a little weird that OP did not know that (or she did an that's why she confirmed the safety of the area more than once with the travel agency). I have no idea what the travel agency was thinking when they recommended her to travel to India alone.

Perhaps she thought it would be like a Caribbean all inclusive resort? I remember a couple decades ago my ex and I went on vacation to a somewhat notorious island. We were given a list of safety rules: Under no circumstances should I (female) go outside the resort alone. Stay on the resort beach because it was patrolled. Only use taxis the resort employees call for you. Only go on excursions the resort books for you. I’m sure there were more but I don’t recall the rest. Bottom line, the resort was safe and so long as we only used services they booked for us we should be safe but the rest of the island might not be. Of course, my ex promptly hired a jeep and we drove all over the island on our own. The only encounter with locals I remember, we had stopped by the side of the road to take some pics of a gorgeous view. A family (looked like mom, dad and kids) briefly stopped on their way past to ask if we were alright or had the car broken down. The odd thing is that actually drove the message about safety home. They were obviously worried that the pasty whites were off-resort.

While it's true she could have done more research, she trusted the travel agency, whose business it is to know these things. They failed her badly. Not only in reassuring her, more than once, that she would be safe. But then not being available to help. As to blaming her wardrobe, etc., I suspect it would have been the same if she'd been in a nun's habit. She was a foreigner, female, and alone. She was seen as prey. Nobody should have to experience that.

They can't have knowledge of every person around every hotel. No person behind a desy has been to every hotel in the world. Without an adverse advisory, they have no basis to say a place is unsafe.

It goes on EVERY DAY. It is an appalling situation caused by male bias and official corruption. Small children are regularly abducted, gang raped and murdered. It regularly makes the UK news due to the political protests. Again, due diligence by the OP would have prevented this having happened. You just don't go wandering a poverty stricken third world country as a single white female. That's asking for trouble. It may not be how things should be, but it is how it is. I'm not standing up for any over-horny Indian males-quite frankly if a few of them were shot then it might put a stop to it.

I've traveled in many more or less unsafe countries. Was mostly fine because I adapt to local circumstances, cover up when necessary, etc.. But India? No way. Her travel agency sucks hard. But also I do not understand why she wanted to go to India alone in the first place, if you're looking for a place to resty and recover.

Counterpoint, I've travelled solo as a woman in India, it was a great trip. Maybe treating an enormous country like a monolith is idiotic, so we can agree there are safer and less safe places. Even within the same city, there are many safer and less safe areas/activities. I didn't find any difference in identifying danger in India as I do in the US. OP had a terrible experience, but she didn't even leave the hotel and go somewhere else, just flew home.. she must not have really wanted to see wherever she was in India, she just wanted to see the resort.

I can understand people trusted just one source of information fifty years ago. But now, with the internet and social media we can check a million opinions before choosing anything, from a restaurant to a holiday destination. Why did she trust the travel agent instead of doing her own research? What happened it's not her fault, and it's not fair, but the world is no fair, and there are plenty of places which are not safe for certain people, like women, lgtbi+, whatever. If you are a woman travelling alone, choose a safe destination.

Indian woman here. Sorry for this. The trouble with some (if not all) is their obsession with white skin. God knows why..

India is a huge country, experiences will vary, like anywhere else, I wouldn't paint it all with one brush from one trip . My travels in south Asia, solo and in a small female group have been as safe as in Western Europe where I currently live. You're a guest in someone else's country, the least you can do is learn about what's normal and expected. The more you know, the more you are left along. If you go to a touristy place and look like a tourist, you'll get targeted by scams, pickpockets etc. Some places aren't safe, some are safe during the day, but looking like you're scared and have money to burn are the worst signals to send. I usually feel safer travelling with women than men, if you're in a place where the genders are often separate. You can act more like a local mad be in female spaces, plus you don't get weird aggression from men to a male companion. There are benefits and drawbacks to both. But don't write off all of a India because of a bad business trip.

India is the last place I'd ever want to go as a solo traveler. I'm brown eyed, brown haired and overweight, also over 50, and I'd still expect a lot of unwanted attention just because I'm American and carry myself with confidence. And that's too bad because India is rich in history, has some lovely country, and has over 10,000 holy places. I am missing out... but don't want the nastiness from men.

Secret Squirrel 4 weeks ago
She's from the UK, and didn't care enough about her destination to Google let alone read up on the culture and history, she just wanted a cheap holiday on a beach. There are plenty of closer destinations, with short/cheap flights, so pretty clear she just wanted cheap. Guess what? The cheaper you go, the more likely bad actors will be there as a coincidence or will be targeting vulnerable travellers. I've backpacked and cheaper it around several countries and it's wonderful, but you do have to be realistic about what you're paying for. Know how much to get a clean, safe room, and know that if you go cheap, leaving the hotel is best for activities. Sometimes you need a place to stay and you end up in a skeezy place, just don't be an idiot and it's usually ok. If you get creepy vibes, time to move on. If you want luxury, you have to pay for it.

Always, always, always do your own research. I've been on a few solo holidays and I'd never trust a travel agent for advice, they want your money and they'll lie to get it. India, Egypt, South Africa, Middle East (and sadly many more) are extremely unsafe for female solo travellers. If anyone is looking to travel solo, please look into crime stats (all, but especially against women), reviews, others' accounts of their visit etc.

I didn't realise people still booked with travel agents. But, if there's no official warning from the state department, you don't have any recourse for a refund. Do the bare minimum of research before you travellots of websites with articles on solo female travels. I've travelled extensively and if you follow local modestly standards for dress and in areas that have them female recommended curfews, most of the world is not like the story above. I've travelled extensively solo and the only places I've been hassled to a scary degree was in Florence and Guatemala city. Buddying up in Florence helped a lot and I didn't have any issues in the rest of Guatemala. Do some research, travel somewhere else next time.

Research is very important. An agent just wants to sell you things. I've lived in Mumbai all my life and from experience know that some areas of the city are where you dress up more conservatively and others where you can wear crop tops and more revealing outfits. If OP went to the beach, she probably wore clothing that's appropriate for the beach from where she's from. That doesn't work everywhere in India. Unfortunately some Indian men take that as an "invite" and think the woman is "open for business." It's disgusting. For example, Mumbai has a beach too, but no one goes there to sunbathe and swim. It's filthy so if you turn up there in a bikini, you'll be harassed. Whereas if you go to Goa, it's very normal to wear a bikini on most of the beaches there. But again, that's where research comes in. India is only safe if you play it safe.

Given all of that, I also don't want to spend funds in areas that I feel treat women horribly either, like Dubi, seems like an amazing place to see but it feels morally wrong to financially support a place that has a horrible human rights record.

In the US, travel agencies are legally obligated to inform their clients about known unsafe locations at their travel destination, meaning they have a "duty to warn" customers about dangers that are not readily apparent, and could be held liable if they fail to do so; this is considered a part of their "duty of care" to clients. https://hospitalitylawyer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Summary-Scope-of-Duty-of-Care.pdf In other words, it is legally their fault for not warning her, not her fault for not using other research sources, and if she can prove that they failed in their duty of care, she could absolutely prosecute or sue them.

Until now India would never be on my radar if the beach was a significant factor because there are so very many good destinations east of India, as well as around the Mediterranean (figuring she's European). Just a cursory Google search tells me that common advice for India is to dress modestly (everywhere) and that it's common for women to get unwanted (or worse) attention even at popular destinations. That almost certainly means the travel agent did a terrible job, but I strongly suspect this woman didn't do nearly enough of her own research. I think that even if she went to the beach naked with a vibrator she's capable of asking if she wants an audience or assistance, but the reality is that even modest behaviors (standards depend on region and culture) that would be fine in many destinations will increase problems with many of the men in other places. Given the account of her first day, I'm really puzzled over the beer story, unless it was the person who poured or served the beer.
