How safe is Benin?
Abomey-Calavi
I live here in a host family wich causes a lot of rules for me. They care a lot about my safety, so I can't tell a lot about the difficulties with strangers, but what I experienced is that a lot of guys starting talking to you, often they ask for your number or if you are already married. But this is not a big deal. Sometimes this can get a little intrusive but all in all there is not something serious to worry about
