How safe is Trinidad and Tobago for women?
Sangre Grande
It’s like a diamond in the rough. I’ve lived in Guyana prior to moving here and it gives a homey feel similar to the safest part of Guyana. Easy transport, all utilities available. As well as entertainment.

There are fairly a high number of murders. You feel as though now you have to walk and constantly keep looking over your shoulder. The crime situation has worsened over the years. Everyday, there's something new and the people are very fearful for their lives.

Trinidad & Tobago, Solo travel
I was in Tobago as a solo traveler. I recommend it, but it's worth doing some research on where to go and what to do beforehand. I stayed in the quietest seaside village of Castara, where I rented a car and an apartment, which served as my base for daily visits/activities, such as a day-long boat trip or birdwatching hikes in the rainforest. I visited the forts of British colonizers, as well as former cocoa plantations, which have now been turned into museums and cooperatives, botanical gardens, and some waterfalls on the island. The food and admission tickets for sightseeing were relatively cheap.
