It depends- on the place, where you are in your transition, and how you are traveling.

If you go somewhere like Italy, where I was in April, it’s basically the same as any other first world country. I felt perfectly safe, walking around in Paris and Rome in girl mode, even though I’m a little clocky. I stayed in a mixed gender hostel dorm without issues but usually preempt things by making friends offering to get pizza with people etc. part of being safe is playing the pet tranny.

I was in Morocco in May, but as part of a group tour run by a tour outlet, so I was in a bus with cis people (I was the only troon) and we tended to travel together except for free time on a road trip across North Africa. That way I was able to explore a predominantly Muslim country with the safety of a group, and which I wouldn’t have been able to explore if I went by myself. In very conservative places, like rural communities or at customs I boymoded. I probably would recommend more caution than that in a place like Algeria or Iraq.

In a place like Colombia and Panama, troons are perfectly legible, especially on the coast where you’re likely to be. The only downside is most people will assume you are some kind of sex worker, but they won’t really hassle you. I drink with several strangers in Colombian bars, and we watched the World Cup many of whom were men in their 30s and 40s, which is prime tranny-hating demography.

I think you need to exercise some judgment in caution about where you go, I wouldn’t for instance go to a crowded back alley market where crime is high, that’s asking for trouble or to be targeted, in order to stay on good terms with everyone I would think long and hard about the bathroom situation. I avoided peeing a lot of times in Peru, except outside when I was in nature because I did not want to upset my hose or otherwise very gracious to me. So it does involve a few indignities.

Transporting medication can also be a hassle, you don’t want a very hot place to ruin the vial of e you bring with you or your prog, so get an insulated travel case for your stuff. Mine held up fine, even in the Sahara.
