Vancouver is a good city, depending on where you go. As with most places, there are areas where you have to keep an eye out. Near the highways, homeless camps can be an area of concern, as well as near the I-5 corridor. However, in areas like Downtown Vancouver I feel relatively safe as long as I continue keeping an eye out. It is perfectly fine for a solo traveler as long as they're careful at very late hours of the night

It is pretty safe for the most part. There are places that are not recommended to go during the night. However, if it is a stroll around the parks and neighborhoods during the daytime and early evenings, then I feel content about my surroundings.

If you ever find yourself here, not much to do but a some decent day trips if you don’t mind a drive. Its close to portland and since they have a huge homeless problem, some of that has begun bleeding in from across the bridge. Public transport has some suspicious people but nothing bad has ever happened.

Hi! I’m Chiara (pronounced kiara) and enjoy anything new; places, people, foods, etc. I travel as much as I can, and am quite outdoorsy when it comes to hobbies - I like hiking, snowboarding, and looking for cool rocks, but I can survive in a city :)
