Guadalajara is a great city and really cool to visit alone but the People know thats your a tourist. Don't go outsider alone in the night. Don't go alone in quarter who are empty. Take an uber, it's safer and it's priceless. There are so many people who dispeared espacially women. Don't take a blablacar alone and who are not well rated : thats really dangerous !
Posted: November 12, 2025I've lived here my whole life and have never experienced anything bad happen to me. I don't live in a bad part of the city (but also not in the privileged, rich part which is safer), and I still haven't felt at risk.

Depends on the area where you're at and the time. Down town it's fine, you can walk and find a lot of people but for me it's better to walk before 9pm, it's ok if you want to walk later I just personally feel a bit unsafe there.

About me
Hello there. MÉXICO/USA is home base for me. Since I did an exchange ERASMUS trip to Croatia in university I fell in love with traveling. Short trips to neighboring countries, long trips across Europe, visiting fellow exchange students home towns and going on spontaneous adventures, a dream since childhood, became reality. Independent woman, with an ever growing bucket list of travels and adventures. I'm in the process of finding my dream home, so it's complicated to host but I'm the "always ready to go" travel buddy you've been hoping for. Current bucket list: Australia New Zealand China Korea Mongolia Ireland Peru Colombia Honduras Brazil Chile Toronto, Canada New York, USA Been there, would love to return: Croatia Slovenia Austria Hungary Chequia Sería Bosnia Netherlands Belgium UK France Spain Italy Canada (Vancouver) Japan My hobbies include knitting, listening to podcasts, going to the movies, trying out different sports (skating, climbing, yoga, running, jujitsu etc) and doing nail art. I like staying in hostels, Airbnb's and friends places. I'm a walking tour when it's possible kinda gal, enjoy museums, art performances, adventure activities, eating good food, very few drinks honestly, recreative and intentional use of earth medicine, deep talks and authentic interactions.

About me
Hiii, I'm Verónica, from Mexico. I'm biologist, scuba diver and vegan too, I love to explore nature especially the marine life. I've been solo traveling since 2022 after a breakup and that helped me to live a great life adventure, so I want to keep exploring other places and meet other people around the world. It's wonderful to find traveler women communities to help each other and share great moments.
