Hello! I’m originally from Taiwan. Now I’m studying at Tulane for exchanging. New Orleans is a dynamic city, and also very fun to stay if you love good food, bars and vintage cafes. I speak Mandarin, English, Japanese and a little bit French. It’d wonderful if you’re interested in language exchange because I could be the best language exchange partner you’ve ever met😉

Overall I felt pretty safe in the areas I visited. However I was super cautious about what streets I walked down and what time of day it was. There was only one time that things felt a bit uneasy. I walked to a restaurant as the sun was setting so it was dark out when I left. It turns out it was not a great area. That was the only time I didn’t do lots of research on the area beforehand. I felt okay since I called someone the whole way back. I stayed at a hostel and felt very safe and comfortable there. I also did a free tours by foot tour and a paid bus tour. I had a great experience with both and never felt unsafe. I especially recommend the free tours by foot tours for a more personable feel. For transportation I used the street cars whenever I couldn’t walk. To explore areas further out I booked tours.

Safety depends on the area. However, it is a very welcoming place for all cultures and solo travel. Exceptional food. Great bars and lounges for all scenes whether you want upscale lounge, dive bar, or live music.

I arrived in the city of New Orleans from France (Strasbourg). At first, I was a little scared since it was my first time going to the American continent. I arrived in New Orleans. I really liked the city, it's super festive. If you're going to stay a few days, I recommend staying downtown. There are many hostels and hotels. The nightlife and festivities are from Monday to Monday.
