How safe is United States for solo female travelers?

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.

Sedona, Solo travel
Sedona is famous for its stunning red rock landscape and spiritual energy. Chapel of the Holy Cross is fascinating. So many hiking points and jeep safari to Broken Arrow and Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village must see.

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.

Had a really good time. The traffic is insane. But the food is so goooood! We did meet a lot of nice people and enjoyed the nightlife scene as well. Safety wise make sure to practice your basic safety precautions and you’ll be fine.

The most magical trip I have ever taken in my life with very best friend and my parents!🐢The water was breathtaking and the views were like something straight out of a movie. I only had three days there but it was so amazing I would love to go back and stay for several weeks.

I went to Detroit for an exchange program during college and lived there for eight months. The city itself doesn’t have a ton of things to do, but the activities it does have are really interesting, especially when you consider the city’s history.

Hey! I just visited Nashville Tennessee, and I absolutely loved it! The city never sleeps live music can be heard almost 24 hours a day, and every weekend, they close the main Broadway route to cars, turning it into a lively, walkable music center. At night it’s a real party! You can walk into almost any music bar free and just enjoy the live performances. There are also plenty of tourist attractions, including museums and old fashioned trolley rides or you can simply take a walk around...

Is United States safe for women?

Peoria
Peoria is very safe. It is primarily a rural community with several schools and businesses serving the area. Very safe for women to drive, walk alone at night or for hiking. The most common thing you will see are children on E Bikes :)

Lapeer is mostly safe, a few incidents have occurred between people. The most dangerous areas are near any homeless camps, but they are easy enough to avoid. It's a small town. Mostly kids pulling pranks once in a while. As anywhere, being observant is the best.

Hampton is a pretty nice area with various indoor and outdoor activities available year round. Night time can get a little sketchy depending on where you go, so definitely don’t go walking around by yourself in unfamiliar territory. Any ladies coming to the area can hit me up for suggestions and advice!

Don’t walk around anywhere at night really unless it’s very busy like a mall or outdoor shopping area and always be aware of surroundings. Don’t stare at your phone too long. I would also have pepper spray on you.

Overall safe, I feel very protected and comfortable as a black woman. It’s mostly a retirement area for older individuals but there are a few younger couples with families.

The city has its safer pockets but if you are aware of your surroundings and normal safety precautions, that should be more than enough to feel comfortable in most areas. Most non-residencial areas have a lot of monitoring from cameras and drones to security and law enforcement. People can be kind enough but can also be quite individualistic so don’t count on help from random strangers or even some public employees as plan A.

About me
I live in Red Lodge, Montana in the United States. I grew up all over the west coast of the US, and have lived in the Midwest and south as well during my time in the military. I have been to every US state except Alaska, spent time in 6 countries so far, and want to travel so much more! I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and an ally to those different than me.🌈 I think that human and cultural diversity is the spice of life! I have a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology, with a minor in Art and Multicultural Queer Studies, and I maintain a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification, and have earned a few other degrees and certifications over the years. I love learning and knowing how to help people. I have worked so many kinds of jobs in my life, in the mountains and in different workshops, but I have been a massage therapist for the past 13 years, and I think that intentional, caring touch is important in this world. Hugs are one of my favorite things to share with people.🫂 My primary language is English, but I have been learning Spanish and I have some German as well.

Europe lover, travel advisor, wife, mom & firm believer that we need to stop waiting for “someday” to take the trip. ✈️ I love beautiful places, great hotels, good food and trips with the perfect mix of exploring and downtime. I’m especially interested in connecting with other women who want to travel more — whether you already have a travel buddy or you’re still looking for your people. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/193By5HWam/?mibextid=wwXIfr I also have a Facebook travel group where we talk all things travel (and I mayyyyy be working on something pretty fun for 2027 👀).
