Met amazing people and had the time of my life. Felt like I was living in paradise! I enjoyed the beaches, the food, the sights, making friends was easy, and it was quite affordable. I wish that I had done muy thai though

I am a solo traveler and safety is very important to me. I didn’t feel anything bad or dangerous in Phuket, even very late at night (arrived at my bungalow 1 a.m - left the place to eat since I was very hungry after a 10-hour flight). The neighborhood where my accommodation was, was alive with very friendly and helpful locals (Kata Beach) 🏖️ … felt safe and sound during my 10-day stay.

Hua Hin

It feels pretty safe so far I’ve left my bags and everything on my chair at the beach and walked around and no one touched it. The Thai people are very kind and it’s a good amount of retired Europeans.

Chiang Rai

Safe as houses, very laid back city with lovely people. I’ve had no issues walking about as a female solo traveller. The grabs take longer than the bigger cities but there are plentiful tuk tuks everywhere.

About me

Hi! My name is Anastasia 🌸 I’m originally from Moscow, Russia, but now I live in Thailand on the island of Phuket, working as a marketing specialist in international real estate. Traveling is my lifestyle ✈️ I’ve just come back from Tanzania, currently staying in Turkey, and soon I’m planning trips to France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. I’d love to meet new girlfriends and like-minded women to explore together and share experiences. I’m an optimistic, cheerful, and kind person. Life on the road taught me to be easy-going and always open to new adventures. I already have friends all over the world, and I’m excited to expand this circle especially with creative, inspiring people who see the world with wide-open eyes 🌍💫 If you ever come to Thailand, I’ll be happy to welcome you in Phuket, show you around, and share all the best local spots 🏝️
