How safe is Australia?

Australians enjoy a deep sense of safety and freedom. Most people leave their cars and houses open without worrying. Even at the beach, you can find surfboards and personal items on the sand and no one is touching it.

Australia is generally a very safe and welcoming place to live and study, consistently ranking among the safest countries in the world. No matter where you are in the world, it is important to look after yourself and be aware of any risks

I am still traveling Australia but I find it amazing, it’s a pretty safe country. I went to Sydney and would recommend to visit Manly Beach ! And I don’t have a part you should skip I liked everything. To go somewhere it’s very easy because you have transport everywhere.

I traveled solo, and it was amazing! Felt very safe and enjoyed every minute of it. It was super easy to meet people. There was lots to do, and it felt like a place where there was always something to do with whatever group of people you meet.

To everyone who is considering going to Australia as solo women. Do it! It was the best decision I’ve made in my life. The people, the beaches, the nature, friends who became family. I never felt so at home and want to go back!

About Me
Hey I’m Emma! I’m in my late 20s and have managed to do 1-2 overseas trips per year since I first got my passport! I love indulging in new cultures and meeting new friends along the way. My personality is somewhat of a blend between “let’s rush out and explore” and “maybe we should plan this trip” kind of style. If you know, you know 😂
