Solo travel
Glasgow has a wonderful cathedral. Never seen something more beautiful. You definitely need to visit . As I know they have choir singing in the evening Food is terrible but that’s typical for the uk

Loving Glasgow so far. Here travelling for 5 months and enjoying every bit of it. I have been to Edinburgh, Inverness, Lovh Ness and a few other places in the Highlands so far and looking to travel some more in the next few days

I took the ferry from Belfast to Glasgow for a day trip! It was a very nice journey - had a lot of things to do and enjoy on the ferry itself! It was really good to see all the beautiful architecture in Glasgow. The steep roads and nice big parks were all at a walking distance from the City Centre! The people were also really kind and jolly in the streets!

Walking alone at night can get creepy if you’re on the outskirts of the city, but otherwise pretty safe. The football nuts are who you need to worry about when there are big games. There was just a fire next to revolver hostel/nightclub allegedly started because of the Rangers and Celtics match today.

I was born in Glasgow and have lived here my whole life. I have always felt safe and still do. The Southside of Glasgow and the West End are a beautiful blend of diverse cultures, and artists who call it home. However, I would air some caution as in recent months anti immigration sentiments have spilt over. This may affect anyone who "looks different" Even though I would not say this is happening regularly, I do want to mention it as the political landscape across the UK is normalising...
Posted: November 17, 2025I am a single girl in her 20s and I have felt safe 90% of the time. Of course that 10% is when you’re in rougher areas or it’s late at night. But for the most part I feel incredibly safe. Of course there is crime like any city but you just have to be careful

About me
Hi all! I'm Elizabeth, from near Glasgow and now living in the west of the city. I've always loved travelling, meeting people and learning about their cultures. I spend most of my time working these days (I'm lucky to enjoy my job), but when I can I still like to travel around, mostly keeping it local these days in Scotland! It's a really beautiful country so I love to share it with anyone who is interested in travelling here.

About me
Hi there, my name is Julia! I'm 18 years old, I'm Polish but have lived in Glasgow my whole life and would love to show any girls around for your trip and I could even take you for a days trip to another city in Scotland if you wish! Unfortunately, I cannot host as I don't own my own flat but can absolutely guide you during your stay 🙃 I would love to make some friends once I start travelling on my own a bit more! I study French so if any French gals would be open for a weekend or so let me know! :)
