How safe is United States for solo female travelers?
New Jersey, Solo travel
I was both in New York and New Jersey around summer. New Jersey was great. Convenient, cleaner than New York. Visited a few places, spent time with my family. I plan to revisit soon as I didnt have enough time to fully explore.

It felt so peaceful, I loved the vibe, the locals, the sight seeing, sooo many activities to do, the beaches were so beautiful and the water was nice and warm. I can’t wait to go back and discover the surrounding islands.

I really liked the city, as it felt sage. Nonetheless, I would not recommend going solo to Georgetown square or riding the metro alone. Not a lot of food options. Most of them are high in fat. Would recommend staying somewhere with a kitchen

New York City🗽 Nine days in NYC and I’m still not over it. The energy is unreal: the crowds, the noise, the endless rush, the blaring sirens. Everyone’s moving like they’ve got somewhere important to be, and somehow you get swept up in it too. I loved every minute. The weather was on my side, too. Perfect for walking the city for hours, which is honestly the best way to see it. Now, the honest part. New York is expensive. Food, getting around, everything adds up fast, the tax and gratuity?...

Love the chickens and shops- food is great, deals to be found and my friend and I did Waikiki beach and a hostel no issues ( other than losing a shoe 😂). The donuts and poke are unreal. It is loud, but the transit is great and the beach is nice.

I recently visited New York and absolutely loved the experience! It was amazing to explore the city, see all the iconic places, try new food, and just enjoy the atmosphere. I’d definitely love to go back and discover even more of the city! 🗽✨

Lots of historical culture, loved the architecture. Easy to get around if you had your phone to navigate. Felt safe there. Had the clam chowder, went to the Harbor, Boston market . Lots of pubs everywhere.

Niagara Falls, Couple travel
I took the Maid of the Mist boat ride. Being so close to the falls and getting soaked was intense. It really makes you respect nature and how powerful the water flow is. I had a great time! I wish I had taken the tour behind the falls. Maybe next time.

San Antonio
Biggest dangers in San Antonio are car break ins and most things related to driver i.e, speeding, drunk driving, running red lights. Shootings are common after midnight in inner city west, South, and east sides. If you stay out a t night, stay in downtown but still be cautious of homeless people.

Philadelphia
Philly is safe if you stick to the right neighborhoods. There are plenty of quiet, safe neighborhoods (Queen Village, Society Hill, Fairmount, etc.) It has its bad pockets like any major city, but is a beautiful city worth exploring.

I’d say it’s very safe. There’s plenty of police around and I have never felt unsafe. I’ve taken public transport and all different hours off the day. It’s very quiet here. Not a lot of options on going out which also means no risk of running into drunk or threatening people. There’s a few homeless people scattered around but I’ve never encountered anyone dangerous.

Lawrenceville
Lawrenceville is a very large area. I think it’s very hard to rate it as a whole and also few people are going to be traveling just to Lawrenceville. But the downtown area around aurora theater for example is a safe area.

There’s parts where stuff goes on but it’s not in nice neighborhoods, nobody steals a purse out of a car on my street. Going out you wanan hide purses and chargers at bars in your car because people target those places for breaking in but that’s in Dallas

It’s a chill tourist town, most people and pretty nice and friendly. If you’re traveling here check out the river and nb pho. Sometimes there’s sketch ppl around the river but nobody super dangerous. Pretty safe town
