I had a great time in La, i love the variety and atmosphere! Got to be safe and careful as women tho. If you find your people (and there is a group for everyone) I assure you will have an amazing time!

Raleigh, Couple travel
I went to Raleigh last year with my partner. It was super fun! Some of the attractions in NC are very fun. I enjoyed being there. I felt safe for the most part but after dark it was a little sketchy.

i felt safe but a bit expensive. i really enjoyed with universal studios. i stayed at hilton orlando lake buena vista. the overall experience with the hotel was good. i would give 7/10. the main problem was to find anything to eat at night (all shops were closed)

I love LOVE Atascadero. though I will say it was the town I stayed in because of my grandpa, the area around Atascadero is the nicest wineries beautiful scenery Paso Robles is the wine country where most American Wineries actually source their grapes. sadly, I didn't sample. However, I loved the Sculptera winery, where they have the largest metal sculptors amongst the tastings and vineyards. Madonna Inn is a must for the beautiful pink hotel and bakery/ boutique/ cafe/ wine celler I've started coffee shops, so I also tour around to get inspiration for setup taste and design, and I loved Jobellas and BRU, but there are so much more a couple of towns down, you have themed bnbs and downtown. San Luis Obispo has a quaint airport and train (Take a train if you can because of the experience )

Yes NYC is expensive but if you eat mostly in Chinatown you will save a lot of money for good eats! Highly recommend using public transportation to get around. It is a bit hard to figure out at first if you’re not from a city with this level of public transportation. But it is definitely so so worth it to take in the city and also save money on private rides that end up in traffic anyway.

I'm a Florida transplant & been here since 1985. 38 countries later, and I still call here home. For a big city, it still feels like community you know by name. Proud of our city and the inclusivity

Albuquerque is safe if you know where you’re going and you have good discernment. Otherwise you can get into sketchy areas if you don’t have proper awareness of your surroundings. As a woman most places outside can be okay but men can still be persistent.

The majority of my hometown is suburban, very chill. It's quite big for a suburban city, and plenty to do. The crime would be very low, and I've honestly never felt unsafe when living here. I just recently moved back, and it's still quite the same.

Chapel hill is a college town that lately has had some major crimes. It is very unsafe during the night specially for women who step out to go to frat parties. Getting drugged and raped is seen as normal in these environments if you are not with people you trust. NEVER GO TO FRANKLIN STREET LATE AT NIGHT ALONE, too much homeless men and campus is very dark and unsafe. Also, some buses are unsafe and you might feel harassed due to the amount of homeless men who may attack you for not giving them money.

I can walk alone at night by myself and I feel perfectly fine if there is any homeless they are polite. I is always best to not be in like public parking lots without light because they do hangout there and I’ve never experienced them but just for safety I don’t go there
