How safe is Lome for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

I recently traveled to Lomé, Togo, and had a mixed but overall positive experience. While some locals were incredibly nice and helpful, I did encounter a few who expected payment for their assistance. However, the nonprofit organization I visited during my humanitarian efforts, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making my time there rewarding.

About me

Hello traveling Ladies I am living in Lomé the capital of Togo with my husband and our daughter. We are a mix family French and Togolese, able to speak French and English. I am a psychologist. Travel Ladies is new for me, but I am on couchsurfing since I was a student... https://couchsurfing.page.link/XRLtpsh1EphfdT51A So I am happy to discover this app and participate. It's still a joy to host people from around the world at home. Between ladies it seems more safe and like a huge sisterhood. Currently I am traveling with my 13 years old daughter for a year. A big trip to discover different cultures, people, way of life ... We are so grateful for all the wonderful people we met. See you soon Ladies
