Guadalajara, Family travel
I loved Guadalajara, the ambient and the colors, what a cool big city, great food and music during night time and the best part is that there's a lot of vegan places to eat, I'm pretty sure that I will return in the next years🩷

I stayed at a resort and didn’t leave that much. I’d recommend. I had no safety concerns in the hotel, people were friendly for the most part. Make sure to tip the staff well :) Food is alright, probably better in town

Cancún, Solo travel
It's my first solo travel and it's very safe. There are alot to explore in Cancun. I was even enjoying the circus show in the middle of the street. The food was very delicious. Isla Mujeres is a must visit Island.

I visited Oaxaca, Mexico for the Guelaguetza Festival July 2025. It was a beautiful experience to witness such immense pride that Oaxacans expressed for their state's diverse heritage. I can't wait to go back!

It’s not xalapa it’s Mexico in general, at night it can be very unsafe try no to go out at night alone or a least not very far of were you are, try to use transportation apps and at night be aware of your surroundings

In general, it's very safe, you just need to be cautious on public transportation, keep your phone secure, and hold your bag in front of you and hug it so there's no risk of someone opening it.

You should do your research and stay in “safe” areas like Condesa, Roma, Polanco. Do your exploring during the day and avoid sketchy areas. Always be mindful of your surroundings and belonging as there can be a lot of thefts, keep your cellphone and wallet out of sight, don’t wear valuables like jewellery and watches. Keep it simple. Also keep in mind that harassment is very common, so just beware, specially in crowded areas. Don’t walk alone at night, stay in well-lit areas and don’t use...

Is safe in tourist neiborhoods. Better to use uber app to get a taxi People is very friendly and help if you lose. Subway is ok but protect your belongs. Police is not the best option but at day you are safe

About me
Hi everyone! My name is Kay, I’m 35 years old and I recently decided to start traveling by myself. It’s a little scary, but also incredibly exciting I’m from Mexico and I’ll be visiting Belgium in a few months. I’d love to meet other women travelers, locals, or anyone who enjoys exploring together! A little about me: I love art museums (and museums in general), bookstores—especially used bookstores because I collect books 📚 I love tea, cats, discovering cozy cafés, local events, and finding hidden places in cities. I’m also into board games, fantasy, anime, and building communities, and I genuinely love making friends and hearing people’s stories.
