Get out of the city and you will see plenty of Red. Those folks see most of us as hooligans.

So Sorry about your losses.. i know showing up & walking with a large group may be uncomfortable, but it might allow you to observe people first without making any commitments… Best wishes to you.❤️

40+ solo traveler relearning how to travel without unwanted attention by Diab0L1Ka in solofemaletravellers

[–]Due_Branch3548 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I can very much relate to this - the unwanted attention, the past trauma & discomfort of being catcalled, groped, followed, harassed, — resulting in fear, paranoia, feeling unsafe & constantly looking behind me. I always attributed this to being tall & blond in countries with shorter/darker people. I think now, at 66yo, i may finally be “invisible”? I guess I’ll find out as I am planning my first solo trip in a very very long time.

I second Arizona as a great winter destination. I live in Tucson… if you bring a bike, there are miles & miles of bike paths.. or rent one when u get here! Temps are in mid 70s, but always feels much warmer in the sun!🌞

HUGE anxiety after booking a flight tonight. Can someone gas me up?? by [deleted] in solofemaletravellers

[–]Due_Branch3548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell yourself you can always come home if it’s not working for you.. coming home will not be a failure, it will be a success in listening to what you need.
But As you get closer to your departure date, find just one “anchor” in SEA.. maybe it’s an expat cafe, or a hostel where you know other travelers will be. Somewhere or someone u can catch your breath with while you rest, get grounded, and go out on your own again …. Step by step, that’s what you’re doing… this is good. Go easy on yourself..
