What's your solo travel super power?
Maybe you can eat all the weird foods without getting ill, maybe you don't get hangovers, maybe you never lose your tube of chapstick. What is your solo travel super power?
Mine is that I can blend in almost anywhere! I'm pretty ethnically ambiguous and--as long as I keep my mouth shut--can pass for a local across much of southern/eastern Europe, central/south America, the Middle East, North Africa, and southwest Asia. I can't even count the number of times I've gotten "are you SURE you're not Afghan/Turkish/Israeli/Romanian/Cypriot/Iranian/Mexican/Berber/Spanish/Argentine/Greek/from this place? Maybe your parents are from here?" In my solo travel life, this means I don't experience most of the harassment that stick-out-like-a-sore-thumb tourists do, and it's fabulous.
