Saint Augustine South, Group travel
What a beautiful spot!! The rich history, architecture, and vegetation are delightful. There are many options to explore, and it’s all very walkable. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed visiting. Everyone I met who has been loved it!!

Las Vegas, Group travel
I LOVED Las Vegas!! I mostly explored the “nature” side of things, but the Strip definitely did not disappoint. It wasn’t at all like I expected! I felt very comfortable and in awe of the grandeur. I would definitely go again.

Super fun and safe. Recommend the ice cream. Great first solo trip. Stayed right by Waikiki beach and was able to safely walk everywhere at all times. Did several excursions will say it’s a lil expensive but overall so worth it.

I’ve been to Cleveland before multiple times (I’m from the broader “Cleveland Area”) and there’s so much to do and see. I especially love going downtown but never at night. There’s much to be desired about safety for women’s sake at night.

South Philadelphia
South Philly neighborhoods from Washington Ave and northwards are considered safe. Avoid North Philly or far West Philly. Always stay alert and pay attention to your surroundings. Verify your uber drivers name before hopping in.

Normal United States in my opinion. Carry yourself per usual and treat others how you would like to be treated. Locations don’t matter when people anywhere can lash out or cause problems or issues. Be safe!

Houston has one of the largest trafficking operations in the US. Many girls go missing, please take extra safety when you go. They usually use other females to lure you in. People are running scams EVERYWHERE. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

There are some bad apples here despite how wonderful and pretty it is. Anyone in the drug scenes can be sketchy. I have a restraining order on one local who frequents downtown. Keep your drink covered and belongings close if you go to the bars.

Seeking quality guests as too many guests on Couchsurfing are outright rude or irresponsible -- or both. Also, too many nudists and/or sexual predators on that site. Too few female hosts.

About me
I’m a high school language teacher, and although I’m older, I have a youthful attitude. I like to meet new people, try new food, and learn something new as I explore new places. I prefer spending longer times in 1 place rather than a day or two in many places. Plain and simple. I love to host visitors and take them around, too.

About me
Hi! I’m looking to meet new people as I go on a solo trip starting in Amsterdam and then to Paris. I would absolutely love to connect with people between June 27, 2025 and July 9th. I like to go on treks through the city, countryside or can stay out all night dancing… very young for my age. I’m a professional that has a very cerebral pace during the work week so getting out in the world of people, nature and new experiences is exciting. Would love to connect with like-minded women.
