je projette de me rendre au Honduras en Janvier prochain. Souhaitant partir seule, j'aimerais savoir si l'un ou l'une d'entre vous a fait de voyage et comment il/elle l'a vécu. Faisant ce qu'il ne faut pas faire, taper "Honduras" sur Google, je m'aperçois que l'on ne parle quasiment que des gangs et de la violence. y'en a-t-il parmi vous qui y soient allé récemment? Est-ce un pays si violent que cela? Est-ce que les touristes sont des cibles? Y a-t-il des comportements à adapter ou des lieux à absolument éviter?
En vous remerciant par avance pour toutes les précieuses informations que vous pourrez me donner, je vous souhaite à tous une bonne journée.
Je suis revenu du Honduras il y a moins d'un mois après y avoir rester 4 mois alors je peux te dresser un portrait assez actuel de la situation et ainsi t'éclairer un peu puisque je suis aussi parti seul.
Cela fait 3 ans que je me rend au Honduras tous les ans puisque j'adore ce pays, toutefois, chaque fois que je m'y rend, je suis conscient que les risques y sont et je dois prendre des précautions énormes. ( Je ne fais pas de pouce, Évite les autobus publics en ville, N'entre pas directement dans les grandes viles, taxi à l'entrée et jusqu'à la sortie, me déplace avec le strict minimum, ACHÈTE TON VOL POUR QU'IL ARRIVE DE JOUR! il n'y a plus de bus après 16-17h, tout le monde verrouille ces portes à partir de 19-20h...etc...) Je n'ai personnellement jamais eu de problèmes majeurs dans le pays mais le danger est bel et bien présent. ( il suffit d'écouter les nouvelles là-bas tous les jours pour comprendre)
En ce qui a trait a la violence, la majorité de cette violence concerne des règlements de comptes et donc, n'est pas dirigée vers le touriste. Toutefois il est possible que tu sois au mauvais endroit au mauvais moment. De plus, dû à la crise de l'emploi au pays et la pauvreté, beaucoup de personnes font des actes de violences désespérés.
Personellement, J'ai travaillé dans le centre du pays( Siguatepeque, Comayagua) et c'est très tranquille. Dès que tu vas vers la Ceiba, San Pedro Sula, Tegucigalpa, Choluteca, c'est autre chose. Si tu prévois un passage vers ces endroits( chose quasi inévitable) ne te déplace que du point A au Point B en taxi, évite la marche c'est très déconseillé (il y a des quotas de gangs sur certains territoires où tu pourrais passer sans le vouloir et avoir des problèmes.)
Je sais que ça peut faire un peu terrorisant mais il reste que c'est un pays magnifique au trésors cachés. Niveau tourisme, c'est plutôt tranquille, quoi que le gouvernement a récemment investi beaucoup justement avec des panneaux et indications sur les routes( MARCA PAIS). A et... si tu as un bon espagnol tu vas t'éviter 80% des situations qui pourraient êtres dangereuses! 🙂
Bonne préparation de voyage.
P.S: Si cela t'intéresse, j'ai plusieurs contacts (de bons amis à moi et collègues de travail) que je peux contacter si tu prévois passez par le centre du pays. Ils peuvent te loger, nourrir à très bon prix et t'aider énormément lorsque tu seras sur place.
Ton message date d'il y a un an mais j'espère que tu pourras me répondre.
J'organise actuellement avec mon copain un voyage d'un peu plus de 6 mois en Amérique centrale et nous nous questionnons beaucoup sur l'Honduras : savoir si on le visite où si on le traverse juste pour rejoindre le Nicaragua.
La beauté du pays et sa culture riche nous attirent bien évidemment mais la sécurité incertaine nous fait hésiter. En effet, nous allons voyager en van, avec une immatriculation française, et avons peur d'être une cible facile vu cette distinction. Sais-tu si cette pratique de voyage est dangereuse et si nous risquons d’être "victime" de vol notamment de vol concernant notre véhicule ?
Par ailleurs nous n'allons pas nous risquer au camping sauvage pour des questions de sécurité mais est-ce que des campings existent et surtout est-ce qu'il y en a dans tous le pays ?
PS: Je suis également preneuse de tes contacts si nous décidons de visiter ce pays avant de mettre les voile sur le Nicaragua

Je peux t'informer de l'état actuellement puisque j'y étais au début du mois de mai. Vous n'aurez sans doute aucun problème quant au corridor touristique (Copan, Tela, La ceiba, Yojoa) Je dois vous avouer que j'ai rarement vu des véhicules plaqués de l'étranger ( autre que guatemala et salvador bien sûr) .
Je vous dirais d'éviter de voyager après l'obscurité, assurez vous d'avoir tous les papiers en ordre puiqu'il est courant de voir les policiers chercher à obtenir de l'Argent par en dessous par quelconque moyens possible. Côté camping, je crois savoir que c'est plutôt limité mais informez vous avant le départ pour en être sûr.
Je ne pourrai pas dire que l'état du pays côté insécurité s'est amélioré mais est relativement stable. Le centre du pays est encore relativement sécuritaire comparé aux grandes villes.
Finalement je ne connais pas votre itinéraire précisément mais il y a bien sûr des routes/département que j'éviterais.
Si vous avez quelques questions plus précises n'hésitez pas, ma copine est hondurienne et y réside ainsi que plusieurs amis de longue date si vous vous rendez dans les environs de Comayagua, Siguatepeque, La esperanza.
Merci pour ces informations très utiles, malheureusement je ne peux pas vous donner un itinéraire précis car pour le moment nous sommes encore dans le doute quant à ce pays à savoir si après le Salvador on le visite ou si on le traverse simplement pour rejoindre le Nicaragua. Si jamais on décide de s'y rendre je vous recontacterai avec plaisir pour avoir un peu plus d'infos.
Bonjour!
Nous sommes présentement au Costa Rica, nous avons passé au Honduras il y a 2 semaines du 10 au 16 mai 2016 en Motorisé (Camping car ) immatriculé au Québec Canada. Pour notre part, on n'a senti aucune insécurité ou menace de danger!!
Contrairement a Henry, nous avons rencontré quelque voyageur de d'autre endroit ( Argentine, Texas(USA), Alberta (Canada) )
Notre blog n'est pas a jour, on va justement publier notre passage au Honduras sur notre blog bientôt.
Votre voyage est pour quand?
https://www.facebook.com/Turgeon-RoadTrip-1671288226476468/
Pour moi la différence majeure, c'est qu'en voyageant en camping car en Europe tu pourras aussi te faire dévaliser ton vehicule mais ce sera quand tu seras en ballade et qu'il y aura eu un repérage des voleurs. Ensuite faire une declaration à la police pour se faire rembourser par l'assurance.
Au Honduras, on te braquera en improvisation totale avec une arme à feu et là surtout baisser les yeux et pas de gestes brusques. Si c'est des adolescents mareros qui passent par la, il ne reste plus qu'à prier. Ensuite racheter les objets qu'on s'est fait voler et ne surtout pas aller voir la police si on ne veut pas avoir d'autres problèmes.
En gros vous connaissez les risques, libre à chacun de les prendre ou non.
D'accord avec vous pour Copan mais La Ceiba en camping car de nuit, même de jours je ne m'y risqerait pas à part en parking sécurisé si le vigile n'est pas corrompu😉
I’m arriving in Tana on 9/10/26 as a solo female traveler.
Which hotel in Tana is good for the first night since I’ll get in at 10 PM?
What’s worth seeing around Tana?
I’m planning 2 nights in Tana,
then 2 nights in Andasibe? After that, Lake Itasy.
Any suggestions? Thanks
I contacted several agencies in Madagascar to arrange this 4x4 trip along the coast.
Always the same answer: a tailor-made trip with at least 2 participants.
Since I don’t want to travel alone and a friend isn’t available, I’m looking for a woman to share this trip with the agency Mahay Mada, which offers a 12-day, 11-night tour of southern Madagascar. I’m available from August 23 to September 14.
Thanks for your direct response at 0784659791. See you soon, Mireille
I’d love to settle around Da Nang for about a month and explore the surrounding areas in Vietnam.
I’ve already been to this country and don’t feel like rushing around every day like I used to a few years ago.
I’d really like to find some company to stay for at least a month, and then maybe spend a month in Cambodia...
Given that I’m now 76, I don’t want to run around like I used to, trying to see everything...
I enjoy calm people... Those who love life and with whom I can share a beer... And meet people to create a great atmosphere—la dolce vita....
Hi everyone,
I’m a 67-year-old woman who loves to travel, and for my third solo trip, I’ve decided to explore Indonesia.
I’ll be there from September 1st to October 5th, and I’m really struggling to plan my itinerary.
I’d love any advice you can share—I’ll read it all carefully.
So far, I’ve booked my first two nights with a local host in Jakarta, and then I’m heading to Borobudur. That’s all I’ve got planned for now.
Do you think I should book accommodations and transport tickets in advance? It seems really complicated, or could I just decide day by day based on how I feel?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a solo trip to Mongolia this summer, without an agency. However, I’d like to have a guide accompany me for certain parts of my journey.
From my research, I understand that most "activities," accommodations, and transportation are best arranged day by day, depending on opportunities and encounters. Without an agency, everything is organized on the spot.
I’d love to hear more opinions on this, especially regarding the Orkhon Valley.
Here’s the itinerary I’m planning:
* UB -> Mörön (flight) -> Khatgal (local buses)
A few days at Lake Khövsgöl
* Khatgal -> Mörön -> Jargalant -> Tariat (local buses)
A few days at the White Lakes
* White Lakes -> Tsetserleg -> Kharkhorin (4x4 with driver)
A few days in the Orkhon Valley
+ the Eight Lakes (horseback trekking with a guide)
* Return to UB
From what I’ve gathered, the first part should be fairly straightforward, but I have questions about the Orkhon Valley.
Here are my questions:
-> Tsetserleg to Kharkhorin route:
Have any of you made this trip by booking a driver on the spot when arriving in Tsetserleg? Was it easy to find an available driver? And did you find it easy/difficult/impossible to find other travelers to share the ride with? Ideally, I’d like to share this leg with fellow travelers.
-> The Eight Lakes: Could you share your experience with the Eight Lakes? Did you easily find a guide directly on site? Were you able to share this experience with other travelers?
Last question for women who’ve traveled solo in Mongolia:
-> How did you experience it? Do you have any specific tips or recommendations?
I’m considering a road trip (rental car) to explore the Canadian Rockies in September 2026, starting in Calgary and ending with about 10 days in Vancouver and the surrounding area. (Two weeks in the Rockies and a little under two weeks in Vancouver and nearby.)
I’d like to say that being a woman traveling alone doesn’t really bother me. That’s not the issue. Being a woman is just how it is, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon, but traveling solo is something I could fix by finding travel companions. However, I had a not-so-great experience in India with two girls who were total strangers at first and turned out to be quite annoying, so I’m a bit put off by the idea now.
My question is simple, assuming I do this trip alone: is it worth sticking *only* to driving? I have **zero** sense of direction—with a map, I’m hopeless. So, is it realistic to think, "With my GPS, I’ll just drive from Calgary to Vancouver and see what I see," since I don’t see myself hiking alone? I’m not easily scared, but I wouldn’t feel confident doing that solo. Unless all the sightseeing is done with a guide (but then, hello, the cost—my budget isn’t exactly overflowing).
What do you all think?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Take care and happy travels.
Cheers,
Régine
Hi,
After a week of sports south of Bergen, I’m not sure what to visit during the following week between Bergen and Oslo.
I haven’t planned to rent a car.
I’d love your suggestions. Thanks
Hi everyone, I’m really keen to visit Iran for three weeks in mid-March 2015.
What worries me a bit isn’t so much traveling alone—I’m used to it and know the Middle East well—but rather the current events (Islamic State) that could potentially become dangerous.
Flights are pretty cheap at the moment, and I’d like to book before prices go up.
Any advice from people who know the ground situation and Iranian current affairs better than I do would be much appreciated! :)
Hi there! I’m in the middle of planning my first solo trip (as a woman). Do you have any ideal destinations with activities like hiking, diving, sightseeing, and easy ways to meet locals—all on a small budget?
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had this experience before! :)
Hi there,
Who could recommend a reliable agency for visiting several islands, including the parks around Komodo? I’m traveling solo as a woman.
Thanks for your great tips!
Hi everyone,
I’m often in transit in Tokyo and I stay at the hotel because Japanese people speak little English and the signs are almost always in Japanese!
Any ideas for getting from Narita to a nice park or an onsen? I wanted to try Hokkaido, but apart from renting a car, it’s all trains! Any suggestions for a car with a driver? Or is it too expensive? Small group tours in Hokkaido? I read about the Explorator group’s offer—way too expensive!!!
I’ve got a maximum of 8 days. I’d just like a nice Japanese break.
Thanks for any tips you can share!
my friend, with whom I traveled to Iran, Myanmar, and India, really wanted to take a one-month trip to Armenia and Georgia. So we booked our flights (June 21 to July 19), but disaster struck—she can’t travel anymore due to serious family reasons.
Now I’m heading off on this adventure alone. It’s not that I’ve never traveled solo before—I spent three months exploring Southeast Asia by myself last year—but I still have a few questions, and I’d really appreciate your input.
* I don’t think traveling alone in these countries is very risky—what do you think?
* Maybe I could hire a driver? What would that cost, since some places seem tricky to reach by public transport. Do you have any driver recommendations?
* I don’t want to rent a car—the driving seems too unpredictable, especially in Georgia.
* I’d love to do some nice hikes—are there any guides available?
Here’s my rough itinerary:
YEREVAN and surroundings
YEGHEGNADZOR for Noravank
GORIS and TATEV
LAKE SEVAN
DILIJAN
HAGHPAT
TBILISI and surroundings
The CAUCASUS toward Mestia
UPLISTSIKHE
VARDZIA
Return to Yerevan for my flight
Thanks to anyone who can share their experiences or answer my questions!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a few tips that really helped me better prepare my carry-on luggage. After a few trips (and some mistakes too!), I’ve finally found a way to organize myself that makes life a lot easier. Maybe this can help other travelers here.
1. Choose a practical and sturdy bag
A good bag is the foundation. I’ve noticed that a model with a solid structure, sturdy wheels, and a well-thought-out interior really changes the experience. Hard-shell suitcases hold up better, especially when you’re hopping between flights. Personally, I use a Lambert suitcase because the interior is super well-divided, but the important thing is to find a model that works for you.
2. Rolling your clothes really works
It’s simple, but it saves so much space. Plus, it wrinkles less. I do this now for almost everything, especially lightweight clothes.
3. Keep everything in a small kit
100 ml liquids, toothbrush, cream, mini first-aid kit… Having all of that in one clear toiletry bag makes going through security much easier. It saves you from having to take everything out and put it back in a rush.
4. A pouch for essentials
Passport, headphones, charger, phone… I keep all of that in the same pouch. It saves so much stress when you need to find something quickly, especially on the plane.
5. Traveling lighter makes all the difference
Since I started choosing versatile clothes that mix and match well, I travel with a lot less. Less weight, fewer decisions to make, fewer things to lug around. It honestly makes traveling so much more enjoyable.
From the conversations I’ve had with other travelers (and several customers too), I’ve realized you can really simplify your trip just by organizing a little better and choosing good accessories.
If you have other tips or methods that work for you, I’d love to read them. We always learn from others on this forum.
Looking forward to exchanging with you all!
Hi,
Has anyone recently taken the boat to Casamance from Dakar and could share their experience?
From France, is it possible to book online, or do you need to go through an agency? How far in advance?
Boarding/disembarking: how does it work? Do we have to check in our luggage and then pick it up on arrival?
What’s the vibe like on the boat in the seating area?
Has anyone ever stopped over in Carabane? Accommodation options there?
Thanks so much if you have any recent info!
Exploring India by road is all about having a good driver. I highly recommend the one I’ve traveled with for 5 "safe" trips—Rajasthan 3 times over 16 years, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab. He’s been driving tourists for 25 years now and is more than just a driver. He knows how to talk about his country, the cities you visit, and suggests alternative routes.
He’s well-connected with real local guides who don’t just ramble (as he puts it himself) or drag you into shops claiming to be run by their "so-called family." Depending on your preferences, he can suggest well-tested itineraries and recommend typical hotels like Havelis.
For dining, he oversees meal prep based on your spice-level preferences. He’s Sikh and deeply respectful of his passengers.
He speaks English better than French, but one of his daughters is studying French at university.
Hi,
We’d like to spend about twenty days in Albania next July. We’re two women traveling together and we’re thinking of renting a small car. Does that sound reasonable, or should we avoid it?
Thanks for your advice.
Hi there,
I’m spending a week in Morocco (Rabat - Meknes - Fes).
I’ll be traveling solo—is it safe for a woman over 60?
For transportation, I’m planning to take the train. I was thinking of buying my ticket last minute, but it’s around the end-of-year period…?
I’ll be in Meknes on December 31st—any suggestions on how they celebrate New Year’s Eve there?
Is anyone visiting these destinations? Maybe we could meet up…?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
After hearing so much about Djerba, especially the GO clubs, is it risky for a young, pretty newly-retired woman to visit the island alone?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Does anyone know how late the buses run from Cusco Airport to the city center? I land at 9:30 PM, plus time to clear customs, pick up my luggage, and exchange some money—figure an extra 30 to 45 minutes. Though, come to think of it, I still have 5 sols from last time—maybe that’ll be enough for the bus?
Thanks.
Brigitte
Planned arrival on Sunday evening, November 16, 2025, in San José. Staying 3 nights, then taking a bus to Tortuguero for 2 nights. Looking for a shared shuttle to La Fortuna for 2 nights, then a van-boat-van combo to Santa Elena for 2 or 3 nights. Heading to Quepos for 4 nights for day trips using local buses—Jaco, San Antonio, Uvita. After that, a full-day bus ride to Cahuita. I’m booking hotels as I go, which gives me the flexibility to stay longer in places I like. I’m looking for accommodations in city centers near restaurants and not too far from the bus station. Budget: 50 € for a room with a private bathroom (if you’ve got any great tips!). For my finale, I’ll cross the land border to Panama City for 4 days. Thanks for your suggestions! 😉
As I mentioned before, I’m heading to Istanbul next summer, and I’ve heard there have been quite a few attacks by Kurds in Turkey recently, which is making me hesitate about my trip.
What do you all think? :( I’m wondering if it’s really a good idea to go...
Hi everyone,
I’m 66 and just discovered solo travel in Uzbekistan—I loved it! So I’ve decided to explore Africa, starting with Senegal. I’m just beginning my research, but if anyone can give me advice on which month to go, what to see, and whether this destination is safe—or maybe suggest another African country—I’d really appreciate your tips!
Hi there!

Thanks
Hi there,
We’d like to stay in Switzerland for five days.
There are two of us (women).
We don’t know this country at all.
What cities or affordable spots would you recommend for visiting?
Cheap accommodation.
Looking for community-based options.
And being close to public transport.
Thanks for your tips and experiences!
Best regards.
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone has taken a Rede Expressos bus from Lisbon Airport to Lagos, and if so, where exactly at the airport you need to board it? I’m worried I’ll get lost and miss my bus...
Hi again,
I’m adding more details to my info request. Here are two proposed itineraries. We’re hesitating:
Colombo - Unawatuna 2 days - Sinharaja 1 day - Bandarawela 2 days - Kandy 3 days - Dambulla 2 days - Wilpattu Park 1 day - Kalpitiya 3 days - Negombo 1 day
What should we change or add a day for to include Jaffna?
Or:
Negombo 1 day - Anuradhapura 2 days - Jaffna 2 days - Sigiriya 2 days - Dambulla 1 day - Kandy 2 days - Ella 1 day - Galle 3 days
For your advice.
Is it better to finish in Galle or Kalpitiya?
Thanks in advance!

This is a warning message! I’d like to address it especially to young women traveling alone for the first time in India. Other travelers may react to my post based on their own experiences, but I think what I’m about to say shouldn’t be taken lightly—unless that’s what you’re looking for!
Last July, I traveled to Northern India. I stopped in Khajuraho to see the famous tantric temples. I stayed one night, and that was more than enough. Khajuraho is very touristy, but you should know that 80% of young Indian men there are "gigolos." Locals call these young men (aged 18 to 30) "playboys" or "Lapka" (which means "capture the woman" in Hindi)!!!
They approach tourists with kindness and politeness, offering tea or a motorcycle ride (which they’ve often gotten from generous Western female tourists) to waterfalls a few kilometers from Khajuraho or other tourist sites. After befriending you, they charm you—be careful, these are professionals who are very skilled at this; it’s all they do, and they do it well. They’ll offer you food, drinks, and even temple entry to confuse you. They’ll suggest spending the evening or even the night with them. **Refuse (unless you’re into local flings and that’s why you came)!!!!**
At first, you’ll be seduced by their generosity, let your guard down, and then they’ll make you believe in *true love*. They won’t leave you alone and will keep in touch via email or phone if you give them your details. The lines they use to soften you up and scam you include: *"I’m the only one taking care of my family, my brother is sick, I don’t know what to do..."* All of this is to manipulate you into offering them money. They’ll never ask for it outright (to avoid being exposed) but will wait for you to suggest it.
If you receive emails from them, they’ll never be signed, and their name won’t appear in the email address (to avoid leaving traces). They use fake names to avoid being reported. If you believe their sob stories and offer help, they’ll give you a bank account number to send money via Western Union. These young men make a living from this—selling their bodies and scamming people! They’re very skilled, charming, manipulative, and *big-time cheaters*!
(Especially one young man who goes by the alias *Tony*—apparently the most skilled. He lives in a hotel near the lake, *Krishna Cottage*, and is in regular contact via Skype with Western women he’s tricked into believing he loves them while shamelessly scamming them. He even opened an internet café on the roof of the hotel with money he stole from women who fell for his charm.)
So, young romantic women craving love, sensitive singles, or anyone emotionally vulnerable—**don’t let yourself be scammed!!!** This behavior is becoming more common in India and is still relatively unknown. Male prostitution is on the rise, and cases of romantic scams and financial fraud by gigolos are increasing.
