Every city has 2 side. Please always keep you safe. No matter safe city are u in never go to rural area alone after dark. Ulaanbaatar is quite chill and safe but as i mentioned there is good and bad. Suburs can be getho. Whatever you go , be smart. Dont go alone after dark, dont go to suburs alone as well.

It is generally safe as long as you know what you're doing and where you are going. However, some people can be quite physical, especially in public transport. Most Mongolian people tend to be physical in such settings, but don’t worry—they're not as mean as they might seem.

Well there's no gun in Mongolia so armed robbery or terrorist attacks are closer to none. But I believe everywhere in the world there's still such bad people, so regardless you have to be really careful!!

As a local Mongolian who have not lived in country for long, I feel that it’s safe but like anywhere else you got be careful and be aware of your surroundings. Good to find a local people that want to make foreign friends rather than someone who is working as a tour guide. That’s just my opinion. I apply this whenever I travel overseas.

It’s a safe place in general, but I’ve heard and witnessed stories of sexual assault on the street (grabbing someone’s butt as they were walking), my mom being pickpocketed, drunk people fighting on the street. All of these events happened at night, so if you pay attention during dark hours, it will be okay!

About Me

Aloha, Im Sisi, Im turning 27 this year and cant believe it. Born and raised in Mongolia. Call me daughter of Chingis Khan lol. Spend amazing 3y in Usa which where I did my master degree in business. 1y in Florida and 2y in Hawaii. I used to travel a lot but due to school i had to travel less. Im planning start traveling lot more for the next couple year. I have been to 9 country and mostly i traveled alone. My fav was Turkey, Cappodocia. Such a magical place. Cuba was so cool but still Hawaii is in my list number 1. I see my self in all over europe in next couple year. I would say im more mature now than i used to be in my 20's. My last reletionship taught me so much and i experienced real deep heartbreak like some people does. Im also so chill, can be crazy or fun with couple glass of wine and im quite good listener. Im so thrilled to meet new unique people and have some mojito or mai tai. I love mai tai, reminds me of one of those hawaiin magical sunset.
