In the video, the female solo traveller stated that she wished she had reacted more firmly. She also explained how the man stalked her continuously. She later added, “It quickly turned uncomfortable as he asked where I was staying and I knew where this was going.”
“He had the audacity to expose himself like that,” said the woman in the video.
Throughout her caption, she showed a sense of shock at the audacity of the man and the fact that she felt unsafe when traveling around the country.
How did the Internet react?
Women should never travel to third world countries alone. Even where these incidents are a rare occurrence there are still opportunistic sickos.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country filled with kind people, and it is very safe to travel in. Judging an entire nation based on a single incident is extremely foolish. Individuals with distorted minds or psychological disorders can exist in any society.
