Solo travel experience

I went to Brighton solo and can say I felt pretty safe there, there are lots of bright lights at night from the station to the beach. North Laine was my favorite area, there are lots of cool shops. I'd also recommend the restaurant "We love falafel", absolutely amazing food.
