How safe is La Gomera for female travelers?

Family travel

I felt save the whole trip. Even at night it was really calm and nice. I enjoyed being able to walk around and go with other hikers into the mountains. Tramping is also fine and I have dove it multiple times.

Solo travel

I arrived by ferry in San Sebastian and I started hitchhiking. I felt safe and I met a lot of amazing and chill people living on the beaches in playa del Medio and chinguarime. At the end, I have lived around the island camping on in caves for 3 weeks and it was one of the best adventure I ever had!
