Glacier National Park, Solo travel
It was so beautiful I am planning to go back! I cant wait to see all the beauty again. I highly recommend training your body to do daily hikes of moderate intensity for 15miles. The food at the lodges was amazing! You can eat at the lodge while staying at the near by campgrounds.

Beautiful clean city with not too much to do. Coming from New York everything closes early unless you’re into sports bars… which not my thing personally. Many great restaurants and views, and many shows that go on.

I live in NY and very close to the City and it’s truly a one of a kind place, I’ve been to many major US cities and no one really does it like New York. The best food, culture, parties, museums and a place where dream come to happen.

Fairbanks, Solo travel
I recently traveled to Fairbanks as my solo graduation trip. I took the trip in effort to catch northern lights. The trip was very beautiful and unreal. The city was very safe and found good food too. The experiences were amazing including; northern lights viewing, snow hike, cultural museum, hot spring, snowmobile and dog sledding. People were friendly too and made many new friends.

Joshua Tree National Park, Couple travel
Large national park with a cute town outside of it. You could make several day trips through the park and hike with different views if you want. We only had one full hiking day. We stayed at a renovated motel and had access to great food including vegetarian options. This was the most amazing dark sky area I have been to for stargazing.

I’m not gonna lie every city has its problems and New Orleans crime is slowly declining we’re still needing improvements . Right time right place is our motto natives know what it is. The tourist are not always aware

I think Duluth is safe for the most part. It's a big city and has it's issues, but what city doesn't? I've only been here a few months so that might have an affect on my outlook too. I haven't had any issues and haven't heard of anything major.

There’s not much going on here at all to begin with- no nightlife, everything is closed after like 5pm except for restaurants. Not a lot of crime at all aside from maybe traffic stops. Never had any issues.

It's not super unsafe, its not big enough to have trouble. I'd just say wherever the roads are more worn down is the bad areas, like everywhere else in America. It's a great budget option for being within 30 minutes to the heart of Birmingham though

There are safe and unsafe areas in all locations. Usually quiet and a small community feel. Grew up here and have also lived other places so coming back, I now appreciate the small town feel of this place.

About me
I’m semi retired at 55 and want to see the world. I leave the country 4-6 months at a time so explore. The last two years I’ve lived in Italy, France, England and recently Spain. I like to stay months at a time in one place to sen the culture and get to know the areas well. I’m not sure who has the availability to do this but my home is open these time to guests. I’m based in Orlando, close to all you would want to experience in Orlando and the local beaches. Anyone who what’s information on how to travel like do or would be interested in traveling along with me, reach out. Anyone intested in swaps of homes or short term rental, let me know. I looking forward to meeting g and talking to like minded explorers.

About me
Hello, I'm Akshaya. I'm an engineer, recently moved to NJ and I love to read and write books (Stories I mean). I wanted to solo travel but have always been scared of it. I am more indoor than outdoor person. But like to roam around the city and explore food and culture in different places. Beaches over mountains. I like a quiet evening watching sunset while starting at it blankly than hiking my way to the top of the mountains.
