Inverness is a very safe place to travel to. I think it probably helps to have a hired car in order to make the most of the experience of the surrounding beautiful nature, but there are lots of tourist bus tours etc that you can use There's plenty of interesting history in the area too, especially at Culloden battlefield. The centre of the town is small but has plenty of lovely restaurants. The locals tend to be very friendly, but the population does double in size during the tourism season which can make people a little frustrated at times 😅 If you like hiking and swimming, there is loads of beauty to enjoy.

I feel pretty safe in Inverness. People are nice and friendly, but not in a weird or fake way. I feel comfortable having my door unlocked even. Sometimes I forget to lock my car, and it's all good :).

Hello! Greetings! I'm Kathryn! I just finished my degree in history and creative writing and am currently planning a long-winded trip (or pilgrimage, of sorts) across Europe with a goal see that even in our anxious world, there are still pockets of beauty everywhere. In the meantime, I live in a suburb just outside of Vancouver, BC. I once met up at a local coffee shop with a sister from the Host a Sister Facebook group, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! I really like getting to hear about another person's culture as I am super curious about what it's like to live in other parts of the world. Unfortunately, I don't really think I can host you as I am living with my parents at the moment because of this crazy Vancouver housing crisis, but one day soon when I move into my own place I would really like to host women and show them around Vancouver to give back to this community. In the mean time, I would love to meet up with you! If you're visiting Vancouver and the greater Vancouver area, I would be happy to meet up with you or take you for coffee somewhere. I can give you all kinds of information, like what it's like living in "The Loneliest City in the World," or give advice on places to eat, or day trips to take from Vancouver without a car (as I have experience exploring BC car free as I don't drive) or maybe we could go hiking together?
