Post Falls, Group travel
I think Idaho is pretty fun but at the same time it gets really boring after while especially in post falls where there really is not much at all I mean sure there's a few good food places but for activities there's not much to do.

Chicago, Solo travel
Chicago was an amazing city to visit! I loved walking around downtown and along the lakefront – the views are beautiful, especially near Millennium Park and the famous Bean. The architecture is incredible and there are so many great places to eat and explore. I also felt comfortable traveling around the main tourist areas, especially during the day. It’s a vibrant city with a lot of culture, food, and things to see. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Bar Harbor is a quaint town in a truly beautiful location. The folks here are very friendly, and you can tell there is a rich history to the area. Overall I had a lovely time exploring the shops and trying the food!

Lewiston is about 30k population and located across the bridge from Clarkson, WA (also about 30k). Very safe communities. Retired and blue collar population base. Few public transportation options. Near mountains and rivers, but located in a valley so the weather is much warmer.

I have never ever had a problem and I would say it’s very safe however, we are still women some of us older some of us young girls and you never know and should always be careful-I always carry mace with me wherever I go

I’ve only lived here for 7 months but so far it seems pretty safe- I’ve never had any issues even when forgetting to lock my door when going out or going to bed and even having left packages and belongings outside.

About me
I’m a high school language teacher, and although I’m older, I have a youthful attitude. I like to meet new people, try new food, and learn something new as I explore new places. I prefer spending longer times in 1 place rather than a day or two in many places. Plain and simple. I love to host visitors and take them around, too.

About me
Hey! I’m Ava, 21, from North Carolina and currently studying nutrition at App State. I’m traveling Europe this summer and trying to see as much as possible while still actually enjoying it. I love being active (hiking, exploring, anything outdoors), trying new food, and meeting people along the way. I’m pretty easygoing but also like to stay safe and aware, especially when traveling solo. If you’re down for exploring, grabbing food, or just not doing things alone, I’d love to connect :)

Seeking quality guests as too many guests on Couchsurfing are outright rude or irresponsible -- or both. Also, too many nudists and/or sexual predators on that site. Too few female hosts.
