Assume you don't know the language of the countries you're visiting

I am in Europe, and I've traveled alone to the US and to England, but I did know the language. I've traveled once to the French part of Belgium too and I don't speak any French beyond 'oui' and 'non', but then again Belgium is close by.
I think for me it depends more on what the country's like than whether I know the language or not; a country that's generally known as pretty safe I'd feel okay traveling alone, I'm sure I'll usually find someone who speaks English or I'd make do flipping through a guide book! Countries that are less safe, especially for a woman alone, I wouldn't go to even if the language were Dutch or English.

Well, I traveled there alone, but I met a friend when I got there. Does that count? I flew to Germany, then we had a 2 week car trip through Germany and Austria. And neither one of us spoke much of the language. But it was a great trip!!

Yes. I use to travel all over the world for a job I had. It can be challenging trying to get by. If you're the type of person that gets frustrated easily, then you shouldn't attempt it.

I have a couple of times.Its fun cause you can do whatever YOU want to do,like flirt with the cute guy sitting next to you.But its good to do your homework a little on the country you visit.But it was easy for me cause I was visiting my grandmother and other family members in Germany

yes, nearly every country has signs in English because its an international language, i don't think the language thing will prevent me from flying alone

Yeah I would. I mean I live in Dublin Ireland so I guess central europe isn't so far for me.
I can speak for Dublin by saying..... it is not as safe as the US... but I would consider it safe in comparison to other Irish/ British Towns/Cities.
