Rea's Recs

Every place here, I went alone. I rate what the guidebooks leave out, like walking alone at night, the staring, eating solo, and whether I'd send you there for your first trip. It all comes from my experience as a Black woman who's been to 30+ countries.

Not your first solo trip.
Grounded
I don't recommend it alone.
