Im an au pair so have been here for awhile and seen a large part of California and I love it, most places are safe but for bigger city there are smaller crimes so never leave stuff in car. Otherwise beautiful nature!

I've traveled pretty frequently around the country with my family, been to at least half the states in the country. There are so many places with several different activities, almost every state has something available for larger parties, especially families!

This was one of the best trips I went on with family. We got to go into a cave and see the history behind it. It was a stay for about a week and we stayed in an airbnb . The food and people were amazing. This was such an amazing experience 10/10 I recommend

I visited this town during the rainy season in November. It's one of the most picturesque coastal towns I've been to and it looked even more beautiful in the rain. The beach is stunning and otherwordly. The food was great. I had pancakes and coffee. Locals were pleasant.

I’ve never felt unsafe in Lexington! I’m regularly downtown after dark and elsewhere in the city at night. It’s genuinely the safest place I’ve lived in. I’d say that as long as you’re aware of your surroundings you’re probably fine.

Most of it is alright, but avoid Haslam and downtown if you can, lots of syringes and waste. The beach areas can have a lot of homeless but IME they're not typically much of an issue if you dont engage with them.

I would say it's one of the safer towns in the state. I've lived here most of my life and only have heard of crimes happening through the word of others, my nurse mother and cop uncle. So I would say that it's a great place for anyone wanting to settle or start a family!

About me
Hii! Im Elizabeth. I go by Elizabeth or lizard 🦎. Im 29 soon to be 30 and newly married to my hub, sean. Im from L.A county and moved because you cant save money in cali. I have adhd and I am very energetic and extroverted and im down for many things. I dont enjoy drinking though so if your personality is barhopping I fear youd go alone as those environments stress me out. But ill go dance! I love nature, boba, asain food, ice cream, book, walks, train rides, music, and more. Ive traveled a lot in the last 2 years. Travel has helped me heal so many internal scars and I think its so important for those who can, to do so. Theres so much to see and I live on only a sand grains portion of earth. Im down to thrift or stay home and bake cookies and Im a huge cat lady. I have 2 fur sons names lucky and yoda. I would love to exchange culture and travel stories, recipes, ect. Connections made while traveling is arguably the best part of the trip. I cant wait to meet you all :)
