Which countries make female visitors or travelers most comfortable or uncomfortable? For example, Costa Rica.

Question

Does Costa Rica make women feel safer than other parts of Latin America? Any other favorites for women world travelers?

Answer 1

Westernized countries make women feel safer because of the feminization of the western world. Just look at the comments about Miss Nevada. Everybody thinks she is wonderful.

   Now if you have your t*ts almost hanging out in Latin countries like Costa Rica you will get a lot of whistles and men making a play. In India you would probably have a man coming up to you and start playing with your¨t*ts

Answer 2

I have lived in Costa Rica for the past 10 years, and I guarantee you you will be treated with respect, and welcomed with open arms.  The people are friendly, pleasant, and mostly mild mannered.  Of course you don't want to walk around some parts of the bigger cities alone or at night. (But that's anywhere in the world)

I have visited Panama several times and find the people less than freindly.  One bar in Panama City refused to serve me as a single  woman.  I was mad and found 2 winos  then went back in and ordered 3 beers LOL>

Answer 3

Well Costa Rica is the safest country in latinamerica!!!

Answer 4

Australia loves women and I think we make them feel welcome. - we are a very diverse culturally thinking and most men worship the female - also site wise there is such a lot to see and do and on all budgets

Answer 5

Women love Europe. don't know about costa rica.

Answer 6

I've been to Costa Rica and I had a great time.  I was well-respected (except for the occasional whistle or cat-call) and the people were very friendly as well.  Costa Rica is a great place to visit in Latin America as far as safety goes.  While it has some crime problems (pickpocketing, thievery, etc.) they are largely crimes of opportunity as opposed to crimes of violence or assault, as occurs in some other Latin American countries.  Costa Rica is also an ideal Latin American country to visit for the English-speaking traveler, as tourism is a big industry there and many of the local people in tourist-y spots speak some level of English.  If you've never been to Latin American before, Costa Rica is a great place to visit.
