Taiwan
I felt really safe in Taipei, the weather was nice, and the food was delicious. I stayed at WoW Hostel in Ximending, it was cheap and the beds were good, with curtains and a lockers. It was sometimes a bit noisy but it is normal is this neither, I didn't mind. Staff was friendly too. Taipei is really great for museums and culture ! I loved it
Posted: December 13, 2024Experienced: October, 2024I recommend staying in Taipei for a couple days! My biggest recommendation is tot ur Taiwanese breakfast! Fan Tuan is a breakfast food in Taiwan and it’s basically a rice ball with stuff in it. It’s super cheap at around 40 twd :)

It's very safe in Taiwan. As a backpacker who was in Southeast Asia, Taiwan is considered more expensive and is comparable to the cost one would incur in Singapore. As there are many delicious street food in Taiwan, it's good to make friends and have people to share the food together! Hostels in Taiwan are more expensive on the weekends as the locals are also traveling within their country. Good to book in advance if you're moving cities over the weekend.
Posted: July 10, 2024I travelled all around the island, half of it by public transportation, and half bu hitchhiking. It was such an amazing experience! People are very nice and helped us a lot in many ways. Food and transportation aren't that expensive, but accommodation can be. I was hosted a couple of times, camped outside and stayed in hostels. If you decide to stay in a hostel/hotel, you better book in advance, at least a day prior. Taiwanese are pragmatic and organized people, and would be too surprised or feel uncomfortable if you suddenly look for an accommodation. For transportation, it's very easy. Just buy the Easy card and use for buses, trains, and subway!

Taiwan is a very safe country for female travellers. It was super simple to solo travel because the trains and bus make it easy to get around and people are helpful. I recommend visiting taipei, juifen, sun moon lake and hualien. The nature is beyond stunning here.

Posted: April 23, 2024Experienced: March, 2024I was in Taipei for 3 days. The weather was a bit gloomy during Chinese New Year. We move around with MRT, bus and local train. The service is top notch. On time, cheap and clean. Food is average for me. It's People are polite and helpful if you try to communicate effectively. Taipei is the most safest city especially for solo female traveller. You can walk the street without so much worries. Accept the scooters. They are a bit reckless. I went with a group but will do it solo next time.

Very very safe ♡ There is no need to worry even when you go out in the middle of the night, wearing shorts, holding a wallet and a phone in your hands. Taipei is quite a lively place, there will still be people hanging out with friends at night markets, restaurants and KTVs late at night, so you won’t feel that much alone. For emergencies, just go to a convenience store and ask for help, they’re everywhere, provide tons of services and they open 24/7. From my personal experience, thefts and crimes are not very common. For instance, in cafes, I can simply leave all of my stuff on a seat before buying my coffee at the counter, and when I come back, they will still be there untouched. Plus, Taiwanese people are usually extra friendly to foreigners, so I believe you’ll have a great time. :)

Taiwan is one of the safest countries in the world! Tainan is the oldest city of Taiwan, located in the south of the island. The people here are extremely friendly and down-to-earth. Seriously, the only thing dangerous here is probably the messy traffic because everyone sucks at driving.

My name is Joan, and I am a college student whose major is earth science. My dream is to be a flight attendant, a geological surveyor and a freelancer. And all the reasons behind the jobs is that I hope to travel around the world. I like to use social networking to meet different people. I am going to go to Turku, Finland as a summer exchange student in August this year. I hope I can use this app to get to know more local culture, cuisine and beautiful people!

Hi folks, I’m from Taiwan. I know, a bit far and tiny, but we are strong people and live within beautiful mountains and surrounded by amazing heart-warming human beings. I tend to discover the unknown areas. Talk with locals, spend some time together. I like wasting time in exploring. I’m obsessed with beautiful stories.
