What have solo travelers experienced in regards to sleeping in a couchette? My concern (as a young female going solo) is that I’ll end up in a couchette with someone/people who I may feel very uncomfortable with…since most sleep anywhere from 4-8 people. Has this happened to anyone? Also, I haven’t read that there is anywhere within the compartment to lock up valuables. How do you deal with this—I’d think you’d sleep with your money belt on and hope they don’t take off with your backpack full of clothes?

Thanks!
