About me

Hi I am originally from Saigon, Vietnam and have been living in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA for almost a decade. I go to school in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA and I’m currently taking a gap year traveling Europe and Vietnam. My favorite thing about places I visit is the people so please hit me up if you want to hang out!

About me

I’m Viktoriia, an international student from Ukraine, currently studying and living in the US. I’ve lived in a few different countries, and travel has always been a big part of my life. I love exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and finding hidden spots wherever I go. I’m into sports, fashion, discoveries, and anything that keeps me active and curious. Always up for good conversations, spontaneous adventures, and of course, great food along the way.

About me

✨ Hey there! I’m B — originally from the Jersey Shore, but my heart lives in Emerald Isle & Swansboro, NC. I’m based in Raleigh now, but I’ll take any excuse to head to the coast (and I will convince you to come with). I give the best tours — think beach bars, local gems, and hidden sandbar stops. I work in real estate and love all things music, art, design, and food — basically anything that feeds the soul or sparks good conversation. I haven’t traveled much. I get nervous on planes but I’m working on conquering that fear. My last trip to Orlando was great. I got divorced a few years ago and didn’t realize how codependent and anxious I was in that relationship. It’s been a rough few years but I’m strong. I’m loving this stage of my life and being challenged in such a way has brought me a new sense of self and adventure—- I think I always had that— it was just stifled for a very long time. I embrace my silly side and enjoy meeting new people. I’ve never been outside the USA. Working on that! 41 isn’t too old to start life again, right? 🤗 Here to meet like-minded women who want to travel solo or together, share Airbnbs, host or be hosted, or just link up for a spontaneous adventure. Let’s swap stories, playlists, and maybe a few wild ideas. 🌍✨

Is Raleigh safe for women?

Nhi

I don’t feel exceptionally unsafe in Raleigh than other mid-size cities. Obviously as a girl/woman, it is always good to practice safe travels. Just like any city, don’t go to the sketchy parts and you will be straight.
