Solo travel
I worked in a hotel and everyone was really really nice and friendly. I felt really save and I even felt comfortable to hitchhike. Still there were many men and especially at the beach many men would try to talk to you and laying in peace by yourself was hard sometimes. Still after some time you will find the quit and lonely places where you can stay by yourself without being hit on all the time :)
