      You do not have to be brave to travel solo in Zanzibar, it is not the USA.

      @@wardaledillard8553there are plenty of countries I wouldn’t travel solo to. I actually did Camp America years ago which I forgot about. After 3 months in camp, I visited a few places and I can’t say I felt completely at ease but it was okay. I felt safer in Seychelles alone.
