When traveling alone in East Africa I came across many men who could simply not wrap their mind around the idea of a woman traveling alone. If I also revealed I was unmarried I received a lot of unwanted attention. Since that trip, I often bring a simple ring with me when I travel that I can wear as a band and tell people I am married. It doesn't avoid all the advances, but quite a lot of them! I met another woman when I was traveling through Indonesia who even carried a picture of her pretend "husband" with her. We both found that these things made exploring easier and safer in some places around the globe.
