Kuwait City, Solo travel
I had the chance to spend two days as a solo traveler in Kuwait City, and it was an unforgettable experience! The currency is very strong, but I managed to stick to a tight budget by using Couchsurfing.

Kuwait is a relatively very safe country. Petty crimes are not common and even if they happen they are taken seriously here. The main issue I have is when walking alone most of the time I do experience some cat calling or street harassment, but only verbal.
