I took the overnight sleeper train from Basra to baghdad solo! ..and everything was fine! after going down to basra with a local friend by shared tax ,i ended up having to come back alone. I love to try train travel in different countries and i had seen a couple of other Vloggers that had taken this train, so wanted to see how it was as a solo woman to take this trip! i can honestly say i didn't feel unsafe at all at any point.The lovely ticket lady was so helpful to me, getting me in a cabin that was female only.
I was a bit disappointed that they wouldn't allow mw to film much more on the train , i was just sitting in my cabin alone talking to the camera myslf when that guy that brought me the water " got me" when i was walking to the restaurant carriage! ive seen other vloggers video their whole journey on this train, thats why i didn't think it would be an issue... but it was! so i did as much as i could!
i had a lovely woman share my room with me, we chatted and went for tea together. On the whole it was a good experience for me and you can see how kind and helpful everyone was, starting with the ticket lady ( who i still keep in touch with) to the guys in the snack shop not letting me pay for anything! Huge thanks to my new friends in Basra and everyone else in Basra that went out of their way to help me! i still have more on Basra , but wanted to share this train experience as soon as i could! thanks for watching as always ,
