      This comment may come across negative but dress down nothing revealing when traveling alone baseball cap hair hidden worn clothes with sneakers no sandals or open toed shoes, because of the feet freaks and can runaway easier if needed, and wear sunglasses or avoid eye contact as they may take it as an invitation to approach or talk and keep in mind they use women to lure other women in as well so not just guys. The movie Taken comes to mind watching your video. Glad your safe. On a side note this is advice I have given to my young daughter, 19. and now she says she feels like she isn't being watched or everyone is staring when she has traveled.

      Please do take some of the points people are posting. Be proactive to yell SECURITY as soon as you have told them no. You are very nice, I can be too, but if you tell someone no and they persist they will see passive behavior as an invitation to go after you. I’m almost 55 but was a model in the Dallas area as a young woman and predators are everywhere. As you now spend more time on your own learn defense and the tactics needed. Best of luck 🙏

    An additional little bit of trafficker info: the "creepy" guy can be a distraction from the actual kidnappers who are the nearby woman or male/female couple. They come from nearby to be your protectors from the creepy guy to give you a false sense of security. Just saying so you are aware. Take care.

    I had something like this happen to me riding a bus from California back home. I was 17 almost 18 back in the 1980’s. The guy was sitting behind me on the bus and started talking to me. He offered me a job to come be his “hostess” for business meetings in Mexico. He was offering a lot of money, and great opportunities. I was polite at first, saying “no you” in a kind way. When the bus stopped for a rest in Las Vegas he got more insistent and wasn’t going to let me get back on the bus. I told him I needed to call my parents from the pay phone which gave me the opportunity to get away for a few minutes. As soon as I got off the phone I made a fast run to the line to be able to board the bus again. He approached me there, trying to drag me away. I started yelling “NO” and asking for help from the patrons around me. 3 big guys stopped him, 1 took him to security while the other 2 made sure I safely boarded the bus. Right after that an older lady & her husband came and sat by me. They were like guardian angels staying with me the rest of the night on the bus and into the morning until we reached the bus stop near my home. My mom was waiting for me there, and I safely made it home. The important thing is that I recognized it was a bad situation by the super uncomfortable feelings I was having. By speaking up loudly, and asking for help I was safe. I was also praying the entire time, I truly know that God sent others to help me! I’m glad you’re safe!!! Always trust your intuition (gut feelings) in situations such as these.

    Those were definitely creepy encounters. That general creepiness aside, as a pretty big man (I'm 6'7"), I don't approach a woman of any age by herself unless I have to (e.g. "Excuse me miss, you dropped your cell phone). I've seen looks of fear and trepidation when I get on an elevator with a woman on her own. I understand that, and do what I can do be reassuring. I'll give a quick smile and "hi", then stand in an opposite corner and not look her way again. Avoidance is unfortunate, but too often a woman on her own feels especially vulnerable around a guy my size, so I just do what I can to give her space and be as non-threatening as possible. And the advice you gave was good - if something FEELS off, then don't take chances.

      I don't remember my exact encounter similar to that, but I do remember it was at night outside and I was walking towards a lone woman and she gave me vibes that she was starting to freak out. I think I passed her and she started running to be away from me or something like that. I was in my late 20s at the time and I'm average sized, but I guess large enough to be threatening where we were. Since that encounter I have tried to give space to women in situations like that to make them know I am not a threat to the best of my ability to do so in the given situation.

    I worked as a Flight Attendant for 10+ years and I witnessed the most sex trafficking inside or near Airports. (Big airports and small airports)
    One piece of advice I have is NEVER tell anyone you are travelling alone and never speak of it loudly in public, especially in an airport.
    I was used to going through airports all by myself for so long that I decided once to fly to Hawaii alone in my early 20's. When i was there i called my mom to tell her where i was and when i got off my phone, an elderly couple said to me "You should never say you are travelling alone, no matter where you are. You don't know who could be listening and you can't trust anybody, not even us"
    Always pretend or act as tho you are with someone. Even if you aren't, pretend a phone call and say "Ok meet you shortly" or something to that affect.

      I'll add when you arrive at set location and walking around the area, itYs best to look like a local. Dress and act as if you live in the city you are visiting. Don't keep on checking your phone as if you're looking at a map. When walking, don't make it look like you're walking towards tourist location, but that you are running errands or on your way home from work. Locals are less likely to be trafficed in their home city.

Without going into all the details I eventually escaped in San Diego California. I’m assuming they were try to take me into Mexico. I now am 41 married with 2 kids, and have a wonderful life! I always tell women if you’re alone walk with confidence and look people in the eyes so they know you’re being observant, usually these people pray on vulnerable people, so even if you are don’t let it show! Also always tell people where you are or share your location! Of course if someone really wants you they’re going to find a way, but sometimes you can deterr people by protecting yourself!

    I moved to the USA alone at the age of 19, which I wouldn't advise. The world has become increasingly dangerous, with human trafficking being one of the fastest-growing and most lucrative criminal activities globally. Women traveling solo are particularly vulnerable. Attractiveness and the way you dress can unfortunately draw the wrong attention, making one a target for predators. This is a harsh reality I've faced personally, and even when reporting to authorities, I received a lecture-though it was necessary. Taking self-defense classes, which I highly recommend to all women, teaches you essential moves and strategies to prevent becoming a victim. It's crucial to stay vigilant of your surroundings instead of your phone and to be cautious with trust. Safety is paramount. Take care and be safe.

    For me, there is only one situation where it is right to use the f-word, and that's when someone suspicious is in your space and you want to get the attention of others. I'm told that shouting "No!" or "Help" is not nearly as effective as shouting swear words. For some reason people are more responsive! One time I was alone on a subway platform at night in Boston, and a sketchy person started harassing me. I shouted, "Get the f*** away from me!", and let me tell you, it worked! Everyone on the distant part of the platform stared over at us and the guy scurried away. Just keep this in mind as a possible tool, Naveah.

I admire both your parents and want a life less stressful and, in the country, as they have found. So, you see, college does not lead to a life, but I am grateful I do get to help people. I am sorry you ran into a bad experience your first travel alone. It opens my eyes, and I hope many other young people the world has some bad elements out there.

    I’m so sorry that happened to you on your first solo trip! I just turned 40yr old which makes me about your Parent’s age ( I can’t believe I’m saying that 😂), but when I was in my early twenties I had a couple of similar uncomfortable experiences with older men approaching me and wanting my information. I learned to LOUDLY say “LEAVE ME ALONE!” You don’t owe these men anything and if they are making you uncomfortable, CALL THEM OUT! It’s amazing how many people will instantly respond and come to your aid. I hope that something like this never happens to you again, but now you’ll know what to do in the future. Also, regarding college, I’m a “Millennial” and I was definitely pressured to go to college. It was embarrassing at that time to not have a college listed next to your name when graduating. I’m so glad that “Gap Years” have become more main stream and young adults are taking time to work and find themselves.

    When alone try to find families and blend in with them. Like hang out by them and make casual conversation with them so as to not stick out looking alone. You also have to watch out for women who are working for the trafficking people. Safe travels. And always notify security or employees that you’re being harassed. Don’t give any information. If you have to lie say those are my parents and point to someone with a family or a couple and go to them to let them know what’s going on. Call out dad, mom. You also have to take precautions being alone in your hotel room. Take an Extra lock. Hidden cameras. Try to get them on camera. You can hold your camera up in front of you and yell I have you on camera get away from me. I’m calling the police very loudly. Also be careful riding in Ubers by yourself bad things have happened there also. Be aware of your surroundings and lock your doors immediately when getting into your vehicle. To many public colleges are unfortunately indoctrinating youth to be liberal s. And a huge waste of money that you’ll be paying back the rest of your life. And most likely never find a job in your career. Trade schools are better.

    I’m an Uber driver, a father, a follower of Jesus Christ. You should know Neveah that we have to pass a vulnerability sector check with the city police service. So, you can feel confident in a driver’s intention to deliver you safely to your destination. In the rider app, you see the driver’s name, picture, car type, colour, and license plate. If you ever feel anything apart from complete safety in your Uber ride, you have safety features in the app to report concerns and even call a police patrol to tail you.

    Tips that I learned from others who also travel alone, I want to share to you. 1) always wear clothes that doesn’t reveal or show too much skin. Wear boy clothes, cap, tshirt, jeans and comfortable shoes so if something bad was to happen you can run away easily. 2) try not to be on your phone, you need to be aware of your surroundings. Who’s watching you, what’s going on around you. 3) don’t trust anyone you don’t know. If you have just an inkling of someone, text someone you trust about it and tell a security guard at the airport about it so they can help you. Always keep your personal belongings close especially if you’re backpacking. Hope that helps you and others reading this.

      @@words.Of.Truth.or it’s that the pursuer will see them as an easy target because they look feminine. Maybe they think that they’re more easily manipulated, also I’m sure a trafficker would rather go for the girl in tight revealing clothing because they look more “desirable” or something. It doesn’t mean it’s the girls fault, but I’m sure it plays into whether or not a trafficker chooses you. Also I’m sure things like how you carry yourself, whether or not you seem distracted, how weak or strong you look, and where you’re positioned in your environment also play a role in whether or not they pick you. Again, doesn’t mean it’s the persons fault, it’s just that a predator is going to be able to read people and make they’re decisions based on whether or not they think you’re worth it.

    Great job on your trip. I've travelled alone most of my life and had a couple hair-raising experiences.. I also used to run on the side roads in our town. I was almost grabbed by a car that swung around, stopped next to me, and he got out quickly with a request for help. Needless to say, I knew something was wrong and I ran very fast to get away. He was very angry and swore a whole lot. Definitely listen to your instincts, they won't serve you wrong. Better to stay in a group. Once when I was alone in a train station in Europe, I was extremely nervous, things were "off". I then started talking to some older females that I didn't know and it helped my comfort level. I still feel odd with Uber, but it's all stored online, with cell phone tracking, and I'm in an area where there are cameras at most intersections. Be careful, things are much more dangerous these days, and your nice looks will only make them more bold. Praying for safety in your travels - don't give up on your travel dreams - it's all in how you handle yourself.

Your parents have given you an honest view of the world and will continue to be a huge encyclopedia of knowledge to draw from. I wonder if those who went to college and had a good experience would have benefited just as much from traveling and meeting people. Just a thought. Great video once again.

While he was traveling overseas (Dubai) , he got in a cab that took him a different route, my colleague noticed the cab driver silently call "someone" my friend got out quickly out of the cab, it appears another man was waiting. My friend ran , and was picked up by a "American" driving a cab. My friend told me those dudes had a evil vibe to them. To this day, he doesn't like talking about it.

    My only child is my baby girl; she is mid forties now.
    I taught her to always be aware and trust her instincts.
    I am a large aggressive male and I have had my life threatened several times. I should pay attention to my instincts, but I am so strong, quick and aggressive that I ignore the instinct sometimes.
    In my early 70's now, but I still bench press 300 pounds, I am not losing my muscle yet. I carry 40 pounds of fat. It does not effect my health yet. I wrestled heavyweight in university at 235, less than 5.0% fat (monthly water tank test). People see the fat and seem to ignore the 240 pounds of awful muscle that I carry.
    I was raised in Idaho, but retired to northern Arizona. I started talking to someone at a remote gas station. He looked rough and a little sketchy. He was large and strong, but not like me. He told me about an abandoned gold mile about ten miles away and asked if I wanted to go see it. I had never seen a gold mine before so I was game. We walked up a dirt road, under several fences and got to the abandoned mine.
    As we were standing there trying to decide if we wanted to risk rattle snakes and go look inside; he turned to me and told me that "He could kill me now and no one would ever find my body". He had a really cold, matter of fact look on his face and the tone of his statement. He had a folding Buck knife at his belt, but no other visible weapons.
    I looked at him and laughed. I told him that he was wrong, and that I am the monster that he only thinks that he is. I told him that he may get lucky and cut me but that it did not matter, because no matter what he did, if I wanted to, I would break his neck and leave him for the vultures. He decided that he did not want to kill me. I dropped him off, and gave a description of him and his vehicle to the police.
    Unless you are like me, always be aware and trust your instincts

      I don’t agree. If you look homeless or disadvantaged, that can also draw attention to yourself. Instead dress in normal, not flashy clothing and be aware of your surroundings. People looking to traffic others are looking for those who are unaware or who are vulnerable. Dressing to look homeless makes you look vulnerable and make you a target.

Stay aware of your surroundings and trust your gut when something or someone causes that feeling in the pit of your stomach that something isn’t right, stay near security or other people, never give your information to people you don’t know, and never ever leave with someone you don’t know. What you did documenting what was happening was very smart as well. If it ever happens again, turn the camera on the person harassing you, because then you have their face on camera just in case. And it never hurts to find a security guard or an officer and report what is happening. Both airport authorities and convention/hotel authorities would have made that man leave had they known and you never know if reporting suspicious behavior could save someone in addition to keeping yourself safe!

Your parents are right about how the movie Taken should be seen by every young lady. Glad it was an overall good experience with many more to come. Also thank you for the query on college. In the past, far too many were going to college to party & have fun instead of a plan for their future. Now they cry the blues & are looking to the government to bail them out with the tax dollars of those who chose to work instead of partying. Ok not all, but you heard from the girl who said it was fun and a great experience. Nothing about the education she was getting for the better job and to better the community where she will live.

With luck we can prevent some other young woman from getting trafficked. My best wishes for you and your family, from Denmark 🇩🇰

    Thanking the Lord for His protection of you. Don’t think that your age is against you- I’m 61 and when traveling alone I also feel very vulnerable (unless driving when I can “carry”). Your parents have raised you to be aware and also trust your inner feelings. It’s heart breaking about all the trafficking going on. A close friend of mine was trafficked when we were older teens. It took years before someone helped her get away and paid for her to fly home (from LA to central CA). Just a horrible event for her and her family. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe🥰

    Awesome video! I was sorry to hear about your encounter with the “bad people”. I’m 64 years old and retired. I had quite a journey with college (4 different) and my amazing career in healthcare. I have time to enjoy life and do the things I want to do. Life toughens you up and 20-30 years from now you will look back and see how smart and strong you were. My favorite part of this video was when you found your car and you went up and hugged it. I laughed out loud! Best wishes to you and I look forward to your videos!! Thanks also for Incogni info and code!!!

      yeah unfortunately this is how the world has always been and it's not going to change.
      We got to pretend we were better than that for a while in the height of first world luxury and safety (it was always still there below the surface)
      but now that western civilization is collapsing, we are going to see a continued rise of these monsters coming out of the shadows, no longer afraid to show themselves.
      Perhaps a slight silver lining is that less folks will be oblivious to this threat and easy targets.
      Watch over your families and communities.

    Very glad you’re safe and your first trip out on your own overall looked and sounded very successful. You’ve turned the run-in with the creeps into a VERY IMPORTANT lesson not only for yourself but your whole audience, which is commendable. There’s a lot of evil in the world and having good situational awareness is your first line of defense. Be vigilant out there and take care everyone!

    Another piece of advice on how to avoid being accosted on the street or at an event. Always be on the move, I know it's sometimes hard, but these guys usually accosted you when you're sitting or standing in one place for a long time. Once I had a situation on the street when a guy accosted me and asked for my number, I refused and immediately went further into the city to another street (about 2 km away), he rode a bike or car behind me and at a pedestrian crossing accosted me again, I caught that he was following me, then I told him to piss off and pointed out that he was following me, so I used a tactic... I wandered around various streets, turned as often as possible, I think I did about 5 km in the city center then, at the end I entered the crowd and quickly turned into another street where cars can't enter, which I then went out into towards my house, I did this so that he wouldn't follow me all the way home. but for me it's Europe, I realize that in the US it's more difficult.

    You should change the name of your UA-cam channel. Just use your first name and take your last name off.
    I had to deal with this a lot when I was around your age. I was beautiful too 😏
    When I was young, I wish I was more forceful with those men. I was too concerned about offending them. Now I don’t care and would just tell them to get away from me and leave me alone, very loudly. Don’t worry about what creepy men think. Just tell them “No thanks, I’m not interested in creepy old men. get away from me!”

      This is gonna sound odd, but I used to have this problem with some women. As a man, it was both creepy AND flattering. Problem was, with a few of them, if I rebuffed their advances, they'd threaten all kinds of craziness. The drunk ones were the worst!

      @@Snarkapotamus Some creepy women can be as bad as creepy men. Not all advances are creepy. But they are when they are clearly unwanted. Some people just don’t pick up on the signals. It’s also crazy that much older people make advances on very young people, who you can’t see for sure are over 18.

    So happy to see you able to enjoy yourself at the conference. I'm 60, and it is a different world out there. So glad you are safe. You may already do this, but...be sure to lock your car doors as soon as you get into your vehicle. Just get into the habit of doing this no matter where you are. Just do it every time, and it will become a normal habit. #1 thing to do. Then start it up and get ready to go.

    Your dad is a retired police officer, I am pretty sure before you left on your adventure he schooled you on the safety of traveling alone. I will not lecture or bore you on what is the right and the wrong thing to do when traveling. Stay safe, and always be aware of your surroundings. God bless.
