As a woman travelling alone, I’ve learned that there are some places best avoided. Countries under military rule that have experienced over 50 years of political oppression are pretty high up on that list. But Myanmar (formerly Burma), was calling me.
After military rule ended in 2011, the country started to open up to tourism and it seemed like the right time to finally venture East. I was so glad I did, because Myanmar turned out to be home to some of the world’s happiest people and a destination that left me wanting to go back for more. If you’re planning a trip to Myanmar, you’re likely to encounter lots of rapidly changing information about the country, so I’ve put together my first-hand experiences of the most common travel rumours I heard prior to my arrival in the country.
