Stories like this always feel a little bittersweet. It’s beautiful, but women would be in potential danger in situations like these.
And I say that as someone who has spent years the world traveling alone and isn’t afraid of humanity and agrees that the kindness of people is one of the most precious and Hope-building things in the world.
I spent a while in the couchsurfing community. It was probably about as safe for women as having a job or being in a university. Now, I recognize that CS was more specific than seeking random acts of kindness on the daily, but a big part of what makes it work is that the vast majority of men aren't looking to assault women and will not stand for it, either.
I met a woman once, who was working as a waitress. She said she was a hobo before this job, but she had a daughter, and while she longs for the hobo life, she knows it's not right for a young kid.
Again, bad things happen, I am sure there are stories. If you expect to find a situation for women where there is no risk, best of luck to you.
