Just a question The Lost Girls would like to throw out to the universe: Why does there seem to be more American women on the road than men?
We've met a bunch of Americans with a double X chromosome traveling by themselves, and a few in groups. But we never, ever seem to meet American guys backpacking unless they've got their girlfriend in tow. On the other hand, there's no shortage of packs of Israeli, British, Chilean and Australian men. What's the deal? Can anyone explain this phenomenon?
