GOOD NEWS
When I discuss traveling on my own to far off places, particularly with people I do not know well, they are often very curious about the dangers I faced and what, if anything, went wrong. I cannot blame them.
We are bombarded with bad news and seem to forget that most of us go about our lives without warranting headlines.
"Did you hear about the woman who traveled alone to Turkey?" Yes, I did. A tragedy. But did we hear about the hundreds, thousands of women who travel alone without incident?
Good news rarely sells.
