From a women’s perspective, because we know best.

So recently, here in Colombia, many men are popping up in the news. Men are being robbed,and drugged. The travel bloggers are outraged; how is this happening?

I know; I have lived here for almost a year and have stayed safe. So I thought, since I am a woman, I should give the men some unsolicited advice, right?

Since I have also noticed under these vlogs in the comments that the men are all like, “Oh man; I can’t believe that happened”; “Colombia is so dangerous”. I write, “maybe not come for a hooker and blow, and you will be fine”. So they are not happy with me.

In my comments on a video about new entry rules to Colombia, I get comments on how you know what it’s like here? Don’t you know how dangerous this country used to be? So why are my words different than the men’s vlog channels?

I mean, they know what’s best for me, right?

So if you are a man I have some advice for you when traveling or in general. Unsolicited means no one asked me, and as a white woman, I know what’s best. (duh)

Let’s start with very basic.
