Korean girls...

... are the bravest backpackers I have ever met.

I have met a few so far, and the ones I met backpack alone and go to all these different places in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, some of which we would consider "dangerous".

I was very surprised to learn this... These girls are young, asian and pretty good looking and they hitchhike, they go out at night alone, and they meet the locals.

If I was a petite asian girl, I definitely would NOT travel by myself.

It amazes me that they can do all this... it pretty much destroyed all my pre-existing stereotypes of "fobs" girls, with "gung-ju-bang" aka. the Princess Sydrome.
