Solo travel

Currently in Nottingham for the weekend. It's a nice city. A lot of different places to go eat! Went for some painting in Pixie studio which was really fun - it's a tattoo place that does painting once in a while. Really cute vibe and really lovely ladies!

It’s a relatively safe city if you stick to the city centre - there are some rougher areas but unlikely for a tourist to find themselves there. As a woman I would be careful walking at night and stick to well lit areas if alone. I have lived here most of my life and never had any problems.

I felt comfortable walking home alone from a club at 3 am. Taking public transport at 10pm to get to the train station. It’s a safe place to walk around. It gets eerily quiet and I start to panic but that’s due to be an over thinker and a woman. But in general, I feel safe walking alone day or night.

The crime rate here is relatively low according to Google, though I’m aware of a few incidents like stabbings, muggings, and assaults. I imagine there are places that are less safe, but as with anywhere else, I do feel a bit uneasy being out at night and etc !!
