A solo traveler from New Zealand has bravely shared her distressing experience of sexual harassment and indecent exposure while exploring Sri Lanka. Riding an e-rickshaw, she recounted how a man on a scooter subjected her to escalating harassment, culminating in him exposing himself. Although deeply shaken by the incident, which occurred after what began as a peaceful day, the traveler has vowed to continue her journey. She emphasized that this isolated act by one individual should not tarnish the reputation of the Sri Lankan people, many of whom she found to be exceptionally kind and generous. The disturbing encounter left her feeling vulnerable and impacted her confidence, serving as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and assertiveness during solo adventures. She urged others to speak up when faced with such situations, refusing to let the experience overshadow the positive aspects of her travels.
