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 š©µšš¤
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 didnāt 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 didnāt 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 $30ā40 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 beautifulā 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 wasnāt 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 thatās 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.
Posted: February 14, 2025I felt safe most of the times, but I wouldnāt recommend going alone there since itās a big place and crimes are common there but if you go in a group or have family there itās okay. Itās very expensive so make sure to bring enough money.
Posted: February 10, 2025Experienced: February, 2025MY SAFETY RATING: pretty fun and safe with lots of things to do from 7pm to 10pm. Also nice to visit during the day, the new architecure especially the shoppes near ross are a lot more shaded. do park at ross or valet at the wynwood garage with the fancy white sides. ross costed me 15 from 7 to 12am and wynwood was 20 for allnight valet. i would experiment in parking in some of the free zones but one is walking distance from a tow truck and both look dark at night so I'm willing to pay out the ass if it means I get home safe. i walked from wynwood to midtown across north miami avenue around midnight, only came across some friendly tourists asking for directions. its a bit freaky being alone walking for 30 minutes so check the lil alleys, walk against traffic, and try to stay in lit areas. some buildings were occupied but for the most part streets outside downtown wynwood get quiet after 11. if you have a walk above 10 minutes to get to your car, I'd get an uber back home or to where you're parked. but im a Florida local, broke, and im typically armed so i took the risk. keep in mind this was February, I wouldn't attempt this around spring break.

I am not a winter person, so I went to NH White mtns during the summer for the green forests, springs and lakes. I would recommend staying at an Airbnb to save money on cooking food and such. Very kind people and great for the granola girls who like hiking.

Beautiful city. Just like any other city in America, Use common sense and basic safety protocols , be aware of your surroundings and always have a safety plan. Would recommend still for solo or couple traveling
Posted: March 25, 2025Springfield, IL is generally safe as long as you stay away from areas with known gang activity. The police are not much better as they have several bad officers on the force. One officer killed Sonya Massey in her home, an unarmed black woman, while she was complying with instructions. Downtown has several unhoused people, though nothing on the scale of larger cities, and they usually leave you alone.
