Hey.. . I am a 21 female student looking to go somewhere in 2007.. .. .. . The places that have peaked my interest so far are: Egypt, Thailand, China and Japan. The tour companies I've briefly considered are: Kumuka, Contiki, EF College Break, Intrepid and Top Deck. Does anyone have any experience with EF or Intrepid?? I will be a young, single female traveler- I'm really worried about safety. What are the horror stories that are out there related to these countries/which one would be the safest? Right now I am currently booked on a trip to Italy in Dec. with EF.. .. . but I haven't been able to find anyone who has heard of them, so now I am a bit concerned.
Sorry for the semi-rambling dis-jointed message and thanks for your replies!
