Sal, Solo travel
I am obsessed with Cape Verde! I was only in Santa Maria as I didn’t have much time there but it was amazing. I felt very safe and relaxed. January is amazing time to visit Sal! It’s a very touristic place full of resorts so I can tell that prices were for tourists not for locals, but they were still ok, just do your research and you can find great and cheap places:) And I felt very safe even walking alone at night - there were always a lot of people everywhere so I was never actually alone.

Travelling Cape Verde solo was a great experience. I always felt very safe. Amazing place, amazing beaches , lovely people. I went to Praia, Tarrafal and than Sal Rei in Boa Vista. No public transport but shared taxi buses. It leaves when it is full with people.
