TikToker Andrea BoldBody has warned her followers of the places she would avoid as a solo traveler, as she confessed 'this is going to p*** a lot of people off'.
The travel influencer has warned her 268,000 TikTok followers of the five places she will never go back to for her own safety, and shockingly one of them is a major European capital city.
Taking to the social media platform, she said: "I received a lot of death threats in the past for the list that I'm about to get into but if you are a solo travelling woman like me, or if you plan on solo travelling somewhere this summer, I would watch this video in its entirety for the list of destinations that I would never travel to again as a solo traveling woman.

"And I know this is going to p*** a lot of people off as it has in the past but this was my experience and I just want other women out there to be safe and this not to happen to them."
First to be named was Manila, the capital of the Philippines, which she claimed was 'definitely not safe' - ranking it at number five on her list.
"My hotel wouldn't even let me go to the ATM outside they told me to put more clothes on not to wear a tank top because there were so many men outside and it just wasn't safe for me to walk alone," she explained.
The biggest shock of all was number four - the city of love, Paris, France, where the travel influencer says she was mugged on the subway and was advised not go out alone at night.
Number three was the port city of Cartagena, in Columbia, on the Caribbean coast.
Andrea conceded that she 'really loved Cartagena' but thought the 'men were pretty aggressive'.
"Now here's where I p*ssed a lot of people off, number two on the list is Caye Caulker, Belize," she said.
"I think Belize is so beautiful, unfortunately the men are very, very aggressive so much so that I had to pepper spray a man that was literally touching my person, touching me physically just to get me to come into his restaurant."
The most shocking of all was her time in El Salvador.
"I was almost kidnapped by two men walking in San Salvador next to El Boquerón," she explained.
"These weren't gang members and this was after [President Nayib] Bukele had already cleaned up the streets, these were construction workers because they were in a flat bed truck and they had wired spool in the back of their truck.
"They pulled up next to me, of course I was walking alone, both of them grabbed me by my arms and were pulling me inside of their truck."
She continued: "Luckily there were restaurants nearby heard me screaming, people heard me screaming and came outside [speaks Spanish]... leave her alone, don't touch her.
"And the guys got in their truck and sped off."
