Fairbanks, Solo travel
I recently traveled to Fairbanks as my solo graduation trip. I took the trip in effort to catch northern lights. The trip was very beautiful and unreal. The city was very safe and found good food too. The experiences were amazing including; northern lights viewing, snow hike, cultural museum, hot spring, snowmobile and dog sledding. People were friendly too and made many new friends.

Joshua Tree National Park, Couple travel
Large national park with a cute town outside of it. You could make several day trips through the park and hike with different views if you want. We only had one full hiking day. We stayed at a renovated motel and had access to great food including vegetarian options. This was the most amazing dark sky area I have been to for stargazing.

New York, Couple travel
I’ve been to NY for 10 days, a lot of attractions to enjoy and interesting activities to do. Lot of things to discover also.. the city that never sleeps. I definitely will go in the future, but it is very expensive.

Miami Beach, Couple travel
I have spent 10 days in Miami and I feel after a week, you feel bored.. I am nt denying that Miami can be very intersting also, but not as much as other cities. the most attractive activity is going to the different beaches, on my humble opinion.

Orlando, Couple travel
In Orlando I only spent time going to amusement park for Disney and Universal. I spent almost no time in the city, so I cannot say I’ve been to Orlando. But I can say that it is worthy the different parks.

Pine Bush
Small town of mostly friendly people who look out for one another, every once in a while there is a mischievous kid or late night crack head. I feel safe leaving my car unlocked when going in for groceries.

San Francisco
I think San Francisco is a very safe city I feel like we don’t have too much violent crime compared to some cities. Just be careful of the tenderloin. Also be careful if you have a car because break ins can be  common.

Pompano Beach
I love it here. I feel super safe and currently have the house to myself with just my little mini pinscher (as my partner is three hours away for school). I’ve had to take her outside at all hours (she’s an old lady) and I’ve never feared for my safety nor worried about the random person walking around. Even when I didn’t have the pup, I still felt super safe and able to get a good night sleep or feel comfortable to go out for a walk.

Safety in New Haven is polarised heavily depending on the neighbourhood. There can be stark changes within a block or 2. That being said the area around Yale is reasonably safe. But as always plan and be aware of your surroundings.

I haven’t ever felt unsafe here- it’s a big city so watch yourself and your surroundings and you’ll be fine. I haven’t been to south chicago which I hear is rougher. For solo travelers, I’d recommend sticking around the Loop, North side and north west side. It’s a beautiful beautiful city!

About me
Hello, I'm Akshaya. I'm an engineer, recently moved to NJ and I love to read and write books (Stories I mean). I wanted to solo travel but have always been scared of it. I am more indoor than outdoor person. But like to roam around the city and explore food and culture in different places. Beaches over mountains. I like a quiet evening watching sunset while starting at it blankly than hiking my way to the top of the mountains.

I can also would love to share stories of life and just experience the city through your eyes.
