Does anybody now if it is safe in Douala for a female on their lonesome. Any recommendations for this city? -------------------- If you really look like your passport photo, you need the holiday!

Here's another from the Lonely Planet, they give it a mid-level warning: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/cameroon/ Let me know if this helps! -------------------- My most recent blog: Weezer in Toronto with Shylo

Having a research before going into a country would be a great move thats why I am Using LMT or Last Minute Travel its gives me brief details about the country I want to visit and also I book my flight their cause they offer good packages and low rates.... Just be safe raniroo.... dont easily trust to some one but be sure enjoy evrything and anyone you meet.... have a great trip do let us know your story after your trip!!!! -------------------- London Hotels Last Minute Travel

Just have fun with yourself and meet new people around. -------------------- Visit Australia Australia Immigration Visa \| Visa for Australia Work in Australia
