For many people, especially women, travelling alone can be a rewarding experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the scenes in Eat Pray Love suggest, solo trips can be a great way to find yourself and learn important lessons along the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And, over the last few years, the travel industry has somewhat shifted, leading to more women exploring the world on their own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet, despite the growing trend, women still face a unique set of challenges when abroad, arguably different to those faced by men.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharing to her 301,500 followers, one TikToker highlighted four countries she felt unsafe in as a female traveller.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Captioning the now-viral video, Chloe Jade said: ‘This was a video that was requested by many people so I decided that I should make it.’<\/p>\n
The travel-pro stressed that she has never run into any serious issues in these countries, but told her followers that it’s important to always be ‘vigilant’ and ‘aware’ wherever you go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chloe said that while she has felt ‘unsafe’ in these countries, her experiences should not dissuade you from visiting these ‘amazing’ countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TikTok traveller Chloe Jade has shared four countries she has felt unsafe in as a woman, warning her followers to be ‘vigilant’ and ‘aware’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though Chloe said she never fell into any serious trouble in any of these places, she said the video has been requested countless times by her followers<\/p>\n
The first location the US-based traveller felt uneasy visiting was Paris. Though she has visited the city around six times, she felt most at risk during her first trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chloe, who was 22 at the time, said she had met up with a local while there, but it became clear to her the two had ‘different intentions.’<\/p>\n
She said the man had ‘lured’ her into getting a beer with him and tried to get her to go down a dark alleyway far from her hotel room.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chloe said:\u00a0‘I told him to f-off and I ran back to my hotel.’<\/p>\n
She said: ‘I passed out as soon as I got back, I had cold sweats the whole night and I felt like he definitely put something in my drink.’<\/p>\n
\u00a0Chloe said that while she enjoyed her trip to Morocco and didn’t feel ‘super unsafe’ in Marrakesh, that her Turkish friend felt uncomfortable walking through the streets of the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Now overall, I loved my trip to Morocco and I actually enjoyed my time in Marrakesh as well but Dilar was with me and she did not feel super safe on the streets in Marrakesh.<\/p>\n
The TikToker said: ‘It’s a very old city so the walls are very tight together and there’s little passageways everywhere although I personally did not feel super unsafe a lot of the young men were pretty aggressive.’<\/p>\n
While nothing bad happened on the trip, she the pro-traveller felt it was important to mention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chloe told her followers that while she ‘absolutely loves’ Thailand, they should avoid Pattaya.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Explaining why she felt unsafe, she said: ‘It just feels gross, there’s so many foreign men that are coming there to you know do terrible things and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable.’<\/p>\n
Chloe warned her American followers that she was met with ‘hostility’ while entering the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While nothing bad happened to her, she said she experienced the disapproval from the moment she entered the country.<\/p>\n
Contemplating why, she told her followers: ‘Overall I think it was just that they really did not like Americans.<\/p>\n
