Wow, Mia, this really captures the intense vulnerability of solo international travel, especially when you're in unfamiliar territory.

I think many travelers can relate to that unsettling feeling of paranoia, where even the simplest tasks, like ordering food, feel like a risk.

It’s incredible how those experiences, though nerve-wracking in the moment, shape us into more seasoned and confident travelers over time.

Thanks for sharing this raw and relatable moment!
