Kim Anderson Episode 122

Ever wonder why you’re treated differently as a solo female traveler in certain countries? 

Today, we’re diving into that very topic and uncovering what it means to experience foreign privilege while on the road and how to manage unwanted attentions along the way.

In this Travel Talk episode, host Kim Anderson shares insights inspired by her recent conversation with Samantha Shae of Intentional Detours (Episode #121).

From special treatment to the unspoken challenges, we’ll explore how these differences can affect your experience as a traveler.

You’ll also learn practical tips for navigating unwanted attention, how dressing with cultural sensitivity can make a big difference, and why being aware of these dynamics is so important.
