I love love loved New York. I went in 2023 before trump was elected thankfully. One of my all time favourite trips - it was a school trip so I was with a massive class under the care of my teachers. Such an amazing time, the plane ride was painful haha but yeah so so fun.
Posted: April 17, 2025In June and July 2022, I made a road trip with my family from Canada to the USA. It was : Montreal > Detroit > Boston > Provincetown and Cape Cod. 🚘 In average I feel pretty safe. When I was in Detroit we sleep in friends’ house so quite more immersive than an hotel. Montreal was a friendly place with very nice people all around. The street art on Saint-Laurent Boulevard is great. 🎨 Detroit was cool but in France, right after the COVID it was the “no bra” trend and Americans weren’t confortable with that at all ! Even little girls had to wear bra with hull because nipples are really shocking over there 😅 Boston was a great old money vibe town. I would recommend to go on the Boston Seaport for the sunset it’s amazing. 🌅 Provincetown is wonderful. I never feel that safe in my life. It’s LGBT friendly and they have such amazing shops all around to bring a souvenir. 🏳️🌈 And about Cape Cod it was fine. I liked the local artists selling their sea art. I also tried the famous lobster roll, quite expensive, but worth it ! 🦞
Posted: April 13, 2025We went to Utah to explore the Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks. It was amazing. The food although closer to the park is limited in terms of options, so pack some snacks. The crowd was nice and we felt safe.

I had an epic experience with One Ocean Diving in Oahu, Hawaii. Ocean Ramsey & Juan Shark are the perfect people to conquer this potential fear with or live out a dream. Sharks used to be a fear of mine and as a professional Stunt woman, it's my nature to push my limits like this. One Ocean Diving are educational and offer a cage free dive with safety divers. I paid the extra fee and had a photographer join us. (They offer this) So you can enjoy your experience and not worry about selfies. Lol 🩵🌊🤙
Posted: March 15, 2025I loved staying in Chicago and although all the talk you hear about how dangerous it is compared to other cities I felt super safe. I loved the architecture boat tour and all the different things Chicago had to offer. Also loved that Chicago is super walkable!
Posted: March 10, 2025I spent six days in New York City last summer. I felt safe. There were a few weird people, but they didn’t really care about others. And if they did, you just had to ignore them. Things to do: Brooklyn (DUMBO, Brooklyn Bridge), Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, Times Square, take the free ferry to see the Statue of Liberty, visit the 9/11 Memorial (I didn’t go inside), Summit One Vanderbilt (the ticket was around $50, I guess), and take the free cable car. I had a MetroCard, which was about $30–40 for a week. I stayed in New Jersey and took a bus every day. It happened to be free that week, so I was really lucky! The ride was about half an hour. I used the subway at the end of the day, tried to walk as much as possible, and occasionally took a bus during the day. The hotel was pretty nice.
Posted: March 7, 2025I was so surprised about Chicago. I actually felt way safer than in my hometown. The locals were so nice and there were so many green spots downtown. The only thing is that food is super expensive there.

I took a solo trip to Virginia Beach in the fall of 2024. I study theology, and nature is important to me, so I visited places related to these interests: various churches, cemeteries, and natural sites. I visited the Virginia Beach Aquarium and went on a dolphin-watching kayak tour organized by Chesapeake Outdoors. It was great! The shoreline of Virginia Beach is breathtakingly beautiful— as long as you keep your eyes on the ocean and pretend not to see the row of hotels behind your back. I rented a car and found it essential, as the distances were surprisingly long. Finding gluten-free food in restaurants was unexpectedly difficult, but grocery stores had a wide selection. I'm glad I had a microwaveowen in my room. The weather was warm and humid and the people were friendly and helpful, and I felt safe even when exploring alone.
Posted: February 28, 2025Experienced: July, 2024If you love snow, nature, mountains and animals, you have to go to Alaska! We did the trip with six girls and it wasn’t that expensive at all for us. Sharing the costs is always a good way to save money. You have to know that the activities are more expensive then another vacation. I would love to go in the summer to, because that’s more fun to hike and be more outside.
Posted: February 25, 2025Experienced: February, 2025San Francisco is quite safe at the daylight. You can meet some homeless people, but they are not crazy. I recommend stay in when sun goes down or walk only in crowded areas. Downtown and Chinatown are pretty crowded.

Like any other urban city, being aware of your surroundings is essential. I have no problem walking home at night around my neighborhood, but It's important to pay attention(not on your phone) I love how close I am to restaurants, bars and shops. Love Chicago
Posted: April 18, 2025Pretty safe, I like leaving here. I def don't like to go out at night, but I still feel pretty safe, no complaints, no homeless people. And a lot of vendors of delicious food. Definitely recommend it

Los Angeles native pretending that I'm still a little chubby baby as long as my face hides the horrible, unforgivable truth. No one has to know. You'll lie for me, your new best friend, won't you? Aw, you're the best. I have an invisible disability that slowly but surely will make it impossible for me to travel at all (at best). My goal is to grind out a world tour in small bursts , meet beautiful people & make friends across the world. I've seen both wonders and horrors beyond comprehension in this life, and I aim to see much, much more. I have a giant sense of humor that can be anywhere from silly, ironic, a bit dark (if present company is comfortable with it), but I'll also make you suffer through some very lame dad jokes. I learned to laugh through the hard times, and now I always do it. I do best with people who aren't uptight, judgemental, disrespectful, or bigots. If you try and drop hints about something, you're wasting your time. I prefer being told like it is. If you have nasty things to say about marginalized groups, walk on, sister. I'm not the fashionable circus freak for you. Be kind to others in this short life! I'm told I'm a firecracker & I don't take shit from anyone despite being very affable. I love to help people if I can. I'm an ambivert, so it's accurate to say that I could spend weeks alone like it was nothing, but also spend that same duration with a throng of other people. Just don't be surprised when I have random days where all I can do is rest. I tend to be a bit flaky as I never know what the next day brings. I'm really excited to add some spice and joy to your life and vice versa. :)
