Moncton is super safe. Of course there is still criminal activity but I feel highly confident in walking alone after dark, even downtown. I would avoid the side streets downtown possibly if I felt unsafe in any way, but I mostly feel safe.

Moncton is honestly a pretty safe place. I would feel confident walking downtown Main St after dark alone. I might not walk the other side streets as I know there is a lot of homeless and drug addicts. But I’m still not overly concerned about it. Moncton is great and for the most part, pretty safe!

About Me

Hi ladies, you can call me Tobs and I'm steadily building my wanderlust spirit. After calling Germany home for the past three years, I've developed a love for exploring Europe's diverse landscapes and cultures. I also look forward to exploring other continents ( spent over a month in Canada earlier this year and this was so much fun for me) From bustling cities to serene countryside, exploring ancient ruins to taking super cute pictures and videos in the streets,there's always something new to discover. I'm always on the hunt for the next unforgettable experience. I would love to meet up, explore and take pictures and make videos together. So whether it's joint trips or meeting fellow travelers, I am open minded and look forward to see where the road takes us next!
