Hi Penny,

In terms of finding a flat, there are lots advertised here and also on places like Adultwork. I used to work in a parlour too so I know what you mean about the fear of transitioning to working by yourself. If  you screen your clients well, listening to your intuition, you will minimise the risk of anything unpleasant happening. I feel more comfortable in hotels because it's a public space so (in my opinion) the likelihood of anyone doing something in a cctv covered area is less than if you worked in an apartment. Always listen to your instincts and if you don't like the sound of someone for whatever reason, think twice. Having said all that, most men are lovely and I've personally never had a scary experience, touch wood. The golden rule is listen to your instincts! Have a read of the main SAAFE site as it has heaps of great screening advice xx
