Honolulu, Solo travel

I stayed in downtown Honolulu and got a rental car. The Airbnb was in a hotel and the hotel staff suggested I park my car there for $50 a day because it wasn’t safe on the street. I did it the first day then after that I felt completely safe parking it on the street. Especially from my hotel. I can definitely see where my car was the whole time and it was never messed with. The people were a little bit of mixed with hospitality I had some rude people that can spot the tourist but there were...

What a beautiful spot!! The rich history, architecture, and vegetation are delightful. There are many options to explore, and it’s all very walkable. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed visiting. Everyone I met who has been loved it!!

Las Vegas, Group travel

I LOVED Las Vegas!! I mostly explored the “nature” side of things, but the Strip definitely did not disappoint. It wasn’t at all like I expected! I felt very comfortable and in awe of the grandeur. I would definitely go again.

San Mateo is very safe and has low crime rate. I live a block away from police station. I have lived here for 3 years. I go on walks at night without any worry! My car (or anyone I know) was never broken into.

Rexburg

It is so safe people make jokes about how safe it is, that everyone leaves there stuff places and doors unlocked because no one is scared it will be stolen. People regularly will be walking home from friends houses or events around 1 am

Boston

there is a large homeless population and a drug crisis rn. the police doesn’t do much. i’m not saying you are getting mugged as soon as you leave the house, but staying alert and holding your phone tight is important. DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH CRAZY PEOPLE

New York

New york is a bit safe I would say. Giving that it is the city that never sleeps. I saw a vendor selling fruits etc on the street at 3am, so I think it is safe to say that New York is partially safe..

About me

I’m a high school language teacher, and although I’m older, I have a youthful attitude. I like to meet new people, try new food, and learn something new as I explore new places. I prefer spending longer times in 1 place rather than a day or two in many places. Plain and simple. I love to host visitors and take them around, too.

Hello! I am a 30 year old female. I live with a family member who is 60 years old but still full of life! We keep to ourselves and usually spend time in our own rooms when at home. I have a pull out couch that almost never gets used so I would love to host anyone in the Council bluffs,IA/Omaha,Ne area. I am living in council bluffs at this time but it is only a 5 minute drive to downtown Omaha! Making it a great spot for a small adventure walking across the river to Nebraska!
