Traveling alone is not something I typically enjoy. In Africa, I've never felt particularly safe doing it. Interestingly, though, it was when I was alone in Nairobi that a couple of tourists actually invited me to dinner with them- I guess in recognition that it can be lonely to be a girl alone, so clearly far from home. Thus far in Germany, no one has approached me, or even spoken to me, when I have been out and about. Since I don't speak much German, that may be for the best, anyway. However, in a way, I'd welcome that. I suppose what I really should do is approach someone myself- find the lonely looking person, or even a friendly seeming group, and just dive right in. At the moment, though, I'm just feeling too shy for that. Touring the country on my own is enough of a big step for me as it is...:)
