I travel on my own lol, and been to Egypt alone as a single woman, so idk how traveling as a couple is “more hardcore.” I can’t even go pee sometimes bc I don’t have anyone to watch my luggage. 🙃 I have also been to Morocco, India, Turkey, Congo, etc.. some if which the author mentions. Again, not with my SO, but as a single woman. I do not rip off locals, expect to be served, and try my best to act as a respectful guest . The author calls an entire nation and country horrible, and I am being disrespectful? Give me a break🤣
