Traveling alone

Traveling solo- my opinion

I have to confess, I've never traveled alone in my life. Right now I am debating myself on the subject. On the one hand I really want to try that experience. The feeling of being independent and free to do whatever I want to do without taking in consideration other people who are traveling with me.

For once traveling can be something I can plan on my own. The planning part of the trip is so exciting and can be frustrating when done in a group forum.
  

On the other hand I am extremely terrified of being in a foreign country all by myself. Traveling alone can be very dangerous for anybody, traveling alone as a woman seems even more dangerous. I have to take into account that being a woman that travels alone makes me a bigger target than a man traveling by himself. Its the sad truth.
Don't get me wrong, I am a strong and independent woman who is capable of being alone and taking care of myself! However the fact is that being a woman makes you more vulnerable especially when you are all alone.
