Let's Talk About the Double Standard in Travel
"Rushing to the gate at Julius Nyerere Airport in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, I had an agent check my passport and, perplexed, ask if I was traveling alone—then incredulously ask, "Your husband lets you do that?" I told him nobody "lets" me do anything and that I'm unmarried; the encounter underscored how, in Tanzania, it can be unthinkable for a woman in her late twenties to travel solo and served as a concrete example of the double standards and assumptions solo female travelers face." - Matthew Kepnes
