Honolulu, Group travel
The most magical trip I have ever taken in my life with very best friend and my parents!đ˘The water was breathtaking and the views were like something straight out of a movie. I only had three days there but it was so amazing I would love to go back and stay for several weeks.

Detroit, Solo travel
I went to Detroit for an exchange program during college and lived there for eight months. The city itself doesnât have a ton of things to do, but the activities it does have are really interesting, especially when you consider the cityâs history.

Nashville, Solo travel
Hey! I just visited Nashville Tennessee, and I absolutely loved it! The city never sleeps live music can be heard almost 24 hours a day, and every weekend, they close the main Broadway route to cars, turning it into a lively, walkable music center. At night itâs a real party! You can walk into almost any music bar free and just enjoy the live performances. There are also plenty of tourist attractions, including museums and old fashioned trolley rides or you can simply take a walk around...

California, Group travel
I went to a few state parks and loved the nature. California is so beautiful. Itâs good to rent a car to go around Cali. I went to Auberry, Kentfield, Refwoods, Tahoe, Sacramento, Sequoia and Redwood national parks, Muir woods, Kentfield, SF, LA. Didnât like LA that much because of feeling unsafe.

Honolulu, Solo travel
4 day trip to Hawaii, wasnât a planned destination for me, but I decided to stop here on my way home from Japan. If youâre comfortable with hostels, Iâd recommend Polynesian Hostel Beach Club (clean, staff were really welcoming, movie nights, first come first serve beach chairs & umbrellas, and affordable surfboard rentals, & few minutes walk to the beach and nice strip of shopâs & restaurants) otherwise hotels are definitely pricey. You can get day bus pass for $10 or week bus pass for $40,...

Awsome culture I love the people. The Island is always going to provide you with kindness if you respect it. Make sure to stick with âOhana and respect the rules and the elders. If you travel alone accomodation is really expensive so make sure you check ahead of time, meet people, make friends and you will for sure find people that are alike that can help you figure it out! Being kind and respectful is most important!

I think itâs a nice city to visit in the USA. As a women, Iâd say itâs fairly safe but I wouldnât feel safe walking around the city after dawn. As any other Texan cities, thereâs a lot of people carrying guns around there so it does make me feel less safe but overall I think itâs a nice place to see as long as you are accompanied after dawn and stay in the city without roaming in remote areas around

Maui, Group travel
I was in Maui with a missions group for 3 months! We were mostly in Haiku and Pai'ia on the north shore. Hitch hiking with few girls is rhe safer way to go, while having a guy is safer, it takes a lot longer to get rides.

Manhattan, you had my whole heart! đ˝â¨ Last March, I had the pleasure of attending the IECSC Trade Show in New York City and it was absolutely amazing the energy, the education, the beauty industry all in one place! đđ˝ But the trip wasn't all business⌠I got to soak in the magic of Times Square, stand in awe at the World Trade Center, and walk the iconic Brooklyn Bridge đ honestly a full New York moment! The city is everything they say it is and more. One thing though next time I need a...

Charlotte
Charlotte I feel is as safe and dangerous as any city out there. I live by the university There are a lot of parties and occasionally raves. This is also the U S of A so that might have been gun shots it could have been a car. Who knows.

I live in a diverse, working class, urban neighborhood of Minneapolis that is experiencing slow gentrification. There is moderate to high crime in the vicinity but my immediate neighborhood has been safe for me as a middle aged, single woman with white privilege. The US has very lax gun laws and hearing the occasional gunshot is common in large cities like mine. This can be difficult to get used to if you're from a country where firearms are highly regulated. I walk the neighborhood after dark...

Phoenix
Phoenix is a huge metropolitan city. Just like any city it has its own great communities and high crime communities. Use your best judgment. Donât travel to unknown places at night. Never travel alone

Vacaville
Very safe, suburban area, 30 to 40 minutes to Sacramento, 35 minutes or so to Napa, and hour and half to San Francisco depending on traffic, of course. Not a nightlife kinda town but nice place overall

Ypsilanti
Ypsilanti is safe during the day I would exercise caution at night. Definitely around the bus. Stop near Pearl Street at night. I would avoid and would avoid walking places at night as well as outside of the campus

About me
Hey Iâm Karlie! Southern Indiana gal with a heart for travel - I wanna see it all :) I love to see the sights, find hidden gems, and can go with the flow! I love spontaneity - city or nature? I like both, Down for anything! Cliff jumping in Greece? Done it! Castles in Ireland? See them! Safari in Africa? Done it Volcanoes in Nicaragua? Hiked them! Ride the metro in NYC? Done it! Hiking the Grand Canyon? Yep done that too! When not traveling, I enjoy hosting parties with my friends and going to Renaissance Fairs! I love board games and puzzles, and dancing. I live a big life and I love it.
