About me

Hey! I'm a friendly, curious person who loves meeting new people and diving into different ways of life. I'm super into music, art, good conversations, and anything that helps me learn more about the world—and myself. I play guitar and do lots of dot drawings. I'm always up for a laugh, a chat, and getting involved wherever I can. I love connecting with others, sharing stories, and being part of something meaningful and fun.

About me

Just a girl who already failed her 30 countries before 30 plan (thanks, covid) and is desperate to not fail 40 countries before 40. All my friends are either broke or not interested and I can only handle so many days of travelling alone.

Is Canberra safe for women?

Canberra is a very safe city, but it is also very boring. The sketchiest thing here is the young eshays and few junkies at the bus interchanges. The city at night is pretty empty so it can be a bit eerie but I’ve never had a scary encounter there.

Canberra is the capital of Australia, though it’s much smaller than Sydney and Melbourne, so has more of a smaller city feel. While it’s very convenient and safe, I still don’t feel comfortable walking alone at night outside of the immediate city area or high traffic areas. This is probably due to the average street lighting, so don’t feel as safe when it’s not as well lit, compared to feeling safer in more well lit and bigger cities.

Canberra is the capital of Australia, it's a best keep secret. Quiet, peaceful, educated, people are well dressed but casual. It may does not offer a vibrant nightlife, but instead you will be surrounded by nature
