[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fortunate that I’ve enjoyed and would return to most places I’ve travelled and vacationed. However, Virginia Beach (ocean front), St. Thomas, and Jamaica are the exceptions.

Virginia Beach: trashy, people smoking on the beach, absurdly overpriced food even as compared to places we normally visit for beach vacations like Cape May and Rehoboth, and a couple of sketchy interactions. For example, one woman offered to take my picture with my kids (ages 10 and 12). I’m not often in pictures other than selfies so I said yes. She then demanded I pay her to return my phone. 
We were also followed by a man who seemed drunk and was cussing at us as we walked on the board walk.

St. Thomas: Overpriced and found the locals / staff we interacted with rude and on the take. Asked someone for directions and he wanted money.

Jamaica: Yes, the resort was lovely but outside was impoverished and we were constantly warned about crime by hotel staff and by friends of friends who live there.

Lastly, and this is just my experience, while I would certainly visit Dubai, Morocco, and Turkey again, I would not go without a male escort. My experience was that being a solo woman in these places is dicey and you will absolutely be treated as different, less than, or an easy target if you are a female solo traveler. Either have a male escort or go with a reputable tour.[/quote]

Would love to visit Morocco and Turkey one day (not dubai) but will not bother giving any place my money where women are less than[/quote]
