The third was at a bar in Los Angeles and of the three it was the most aggressive and invasive - and it was in a crowded bar with my friends nearby.But these incidents did not define my travel experiences in these countries, and I wasn't solo for any of them. In fact, in all three instances I had men and friends nearby and it didn't stop the harassment. Three continents, three entirely different cultures, and yet similar attitudes toward women created that shared experience …Each time it reminded me that the way society sees women has a long way to go in a lot of places in the world, my own country included.I can't say that nothing will befall female travellers, but I can say that it's not the norm.
