This was one of the best trips I went on with family. We got to go into a cave and see the history behind it. It was a stay for about a week and we stayed in an airbnb . The food and people were amazing. This was such an amazing experience 10/10 I recommend

I visited this town during the rainy season in November. It's one of the most picturesque coastal towns I've been to and it looked even more beautiful in the rain. The beach is stunning and otherwordly. The food was great. I had pancakes and coffee. Locals were pleasant.

I think Idaho is pretty fun but at the same time it gets really boring after while especially in post falls where there really is not much at all I mean sure there's a few good food places but for activities there's not much to do.

For america, its very safe for a big city. I feel much less on guard than I did growing up in LA. I still have my woman safety senses on alert, but I feel more relaxed. I walk around alone, ride the train, alone, walk to work, walk the downtown area alone. Its very safe.

About the same amount of safe as Indianapolis. Almost no mugging. No pick pockets. During festivals or on game days it can get rowdy. In some parts of town you will for sure get harassed but probably not physically attacked. But please bear in mind that the chance of it happening is also not zero. We have about 100 murders per year, and the population is right around one million people.

Boone is very safe during the day and at night. I have never felt unsafe when walking alone. It is a college town so there will be some drunk people on the weekends but really not notable. The police respond fast if anything happens but there is no big police presence usually. Boone is a very safe town

About me
Hii! Im Elizabeth. I go by Elizabeth or lizard 🦎. Im 29 soon to be 30 and newly married to my hub, sean. Im from L.A county and moved because you cant save money in cali. I have adhd and I am very energetic and extroverted and im down for many things. I dont enjoy drinking though so if your personality is barhopping I fear youd go alone as those environments stress me out. But ill go dance! I love nature, boba, asain food, ice cream, book, walks, train rides, music, and more. Ive traveled a lot in the last 2 years. Travel has helped me heal so many internal scars and I think its so important for those who can, to do so. Theres so much to see and I live on only a sand grains portion of earth. Im down to thrift or stay home and bake cookies and Im a huge cat lady. I have 2 fur sons names lucky and yoda. I would love to exchange culture and travel stories, recipes, ect. Connections made while traveling is arguably the best part of the trip. I cant wait to meet you all :)

About me
I’m a fun, energetic person who can also enjoy a quiet afternoon in the sun, reading. I wake at about 6 am every day and spend some time to myself, drinking coffee before I exercise, and then go to work. I have a few close friends. I enjoy deep and authentic conversations and connections. Some people say they are intimidated by me and then say that once they get to know me I am very relatable and genuine. I lift up anyone who identifies as female or NB, we’ve come too far to tear one another apart. We need to create more community, not less.
