People offering to take you to your hotel, then want money, guide you to the wrong restaurant, tell you something Is closed but their friend's shop/hotel is open, it was really frustrating. 75+ countries and Marrakech was easily the most frustrated I've been by this behavior, unfortunately, because I loved the city :( | |

| Mar 6, 2017 at 20:23 | comment | added | Arehandoro | @sgroves I like traveling by myself too, and often do, but also like traveling with my partner and experience countries with four eyes instead of two :) Furthermore, interacting with locals and try to understand habits, for wrong they might be or shocking to my cultural background, is where the magic of traveling lies, in my opinion. | |
| Mar 6, 2017 at 20:21 | comment | added | user428517 | One reason I like traveling alone, and wearing headphones all the time. It seems like it would be less safe, but in my experience it's way safer. No one bothers you. I'm male, though; can't speak to the female experience. | |
