[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious what area you live in? 
The steps you take - vary route? - do give the sense that it’s not a safe area. [b]And it’s reasonable to ask young females to explore with another person.[/b] I may be biased, but the number of adults here encouraging a burner phone boggles my mind.

Wtaf?  Not-so-young female here who has been exploring on my own since I was a teen.  Provided OP is being reasonably safe about things (sticking to well-travelled, not super high crime areas, daylight, not doing drugs in a strange place/with strangers, letting someone know generally what her plans are) which it sounds like she is, there is no reason for her to constantly need a chaperone, especially in a country she has lived in for presumably all or most of her life where she speaks the language.  The fact that you think otherwise boggles my mind.  OP is an adult herself; if she were a younger teen living at home, I might think she was perfectly safe but wouldn't encourage her to go against her parents so strongly.[/quote]
OP is [i]barely[/i] an adult.
Look, I backpacked in Europe back in the day too. I suggested letting my college aged girls do it on this forum and the majority of responses thought I was nuts. And I consider Europe much safer than the US.  Times are different.  It’s smart for everyone (male and female) to travel together in big cities. [/quote]
