promoting unsafe places while having the opposite experience

I’ve been staying in hostels and talking to a lot of women travelers.

So many have told me they were groped, stalked, or faced attempted SA on their trips. Some literally said they would never solo travel to certain countries again. But on their Instagram and Facebook, it’s all perfect photos and reels of "living my best life."

I totally get why they don't want to share those traumatic experiences explicitly. But promoting the same place as a perfect dream feels like a dangerous false narrative. Doesn't this just trap other girls into going to unsafe places thinking nothing bad could happen?
