Port of entry to the ALCAN highway, super easy experience going from Alaska to Canada. Very safe, although I recommend stopping at night as the roads can be unpaved for portions. Not a lot out there so grab gas before you cross the border and try to get gas each time you see a station while in the Yukon. Car camped the entire time while in the area, plenty of people do.
Posted: July 19, 2025The park itself is absolutely gorgeous. If you like geology, it's a must-see. Petrified trees are fascinating. The trees here died before the Jurassic period (from my recollection) and sank into ancient riverbeds that are now long gone before fossilizing and turning to quartz. It's surreal and like walking through the past. There are petroglyphs as well... I'm a cheap traveler, so I camped in my van at the gift shop right outside the park, as is allowed by the business. Since I have an access pass, I can visit all national parks for free. Otherwise, you pay what I believe to be a reasonable fee to enter for the day. There are dispersed campsites you can backpack to, but you need a permit, which can be obtained at the welcome center. Plenty of bathrooms and places to fill up with water.

If you have only one day in NYC, book it now! There no other city like it in the world, and I would highly recommend. I stayed at the Modernist Hotel in Long Island City, and while the hotel was expensive ($400/night), it was worth it to be in a good location and near the train.
Posted: July 7, 2025I felt very safe while in Minneapolis. I only use public transportation and found it easy and affordable. There were a lot of food options, including many vegetarian friendly options. I stayed near Target Center and found the neighborhood walkable, friendly, and relatively affordable.

I did couch surfing and stayed there for only three days but I wish I had stayed there longer. It was a beautiful city, full of life. My favourite part is going to the New York Public Library and Brooklyn Bridge. I didn’t explore much on food as I was travelling all the time and had limited budget. Used metro card for travelling around. Such a beautiful experience. The people I met were really kind and helpful. I would suggest to check weather and carry essentials before going. And if you love biking then you will find plenty of city bikes. But you need to have a card. I was travelling with just cash😅.

Speaking anecdotally and from personal opinion, without statistical knowledge, I would say it’s as safe as an average city in America, maybe even safer. I go on walks late at night often, and while I am cautious and alert, I have never faced problems.

There are frequent car jackings and car break-ins near where I live. I had my car stolen standing right next to it. Shootings are frequent in the surrounding areas. It is important to be aware and have an emergency plan.
