@KerrySomewhere @redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney I didn't know that - crazy - was a gender-specific word, but if you say it so...

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@awktravels @thewandererblog yes, it is written by a woman, the one in the photo

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@KerrySomewhere @redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney but then you went crazy and started saying things about my pride and BS like that, totally non-sense, and I blocked you because I just hate arguing with RANDOM people on the internet like I am doing right now, which is a waste of time

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@KerrySomewhere @redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney your opinion as a female is as valuable as the author's and what she posted fits the opinion from all the women I know who have been to Jordan - I kindly told you that, if you disagree, you could just leave a comment, so the author sees it and you can open open a debate

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney @Nadaalnahdi92 you didn't disagree with anything, you didn't give any constructive criticism - You just came randomly here and accused me of giving personal female travel advice, which is BS - That's trolling

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney BTW, you didn't have a different opinion but you came here accusing me of something, which is different. Anyways, from the 183k monthly visits my blog gets, 50% are women, and they just send me greeting messages, so 1 or 2 trolls won't ruin my day 😘❤️

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney I thought you were the lady who was also insulting me on IG, but maybe you were not. Anyways, you are outraged, and saying non-sense things. Who said I am a journalist? I am a traveler who studied marketing and works full time on a blog

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney Yeah, I have made statements after a girl writes the guest post, I don't create opinions, and if you want to think otherwise, seriously, I dont care. And anyways, why do you try to seek conflict where there's not?

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney The reason for accepting guest posts was, precisely, because I didn't want to give female travel advice to the many women that email me every week asking about traveling to Arab countries; and you are absolutely annoying by the way, don't make me block you on twitter as well

[Joan Torres @AgainstCompass]

@redheadcher @Expatterns @fidelsjourney whatever you see on my blog about women was written by women via a guest post, and the only exception is a post about ethical travel in KSA, whose words are transcribed from other local women, and the article was actually approved by them @Nadaalnahdi92 so stop trolling, please

'Muscat is one of those capitals with so many layers of history, whose strategic location made it particularly appealing for quite a few empires, from the Persian Sassanids to the Arabs, the Ottoman and the Portuguese' by @AgainstCompass :https://t.co/v6LiFDFZC4 #Oman
