We forgot to check into the hotel room so our room was canceled, but we went to some random motel and still felt safe. We went for my birthday and it was such a great girls trip. We got into the water in McCloud river and it was great!

Los Angeles, Solo travel
I was for two weeks camera acting workshop in there. I lived close to the Walk of Fame area. But my favorite place was Venice Beach, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. There is a lot of homeless people and every morning you can smell weed. But it was great experience

I moved to Baton Rouge for love and it has been a super fun and eventful experience so far. The food is always so good. The people here can be a bit rude at times but typically are very welcoming and good to be around :).

It’s pretty safe from my experience. There’s nothing to do though unfortunately, I love the farmers market on the weekends but that’s more like Newark area, library and Suju cafe(Stevenson blvd) are probably my most hangout spots.

Los Angeles is relatively safe for a city in the US. Unlike other countries like Korea or China the US can have more crime in certain areas. You defintely want to be careful. Again, it all depends on the area.

Tucson is not the most dangerous place to live, we have a big houseless problem right now and I don’t pass any bias to those individuals, but they are also desperate and especially being a woman walking around at night i’ve personally had a lot of encounters with them and times call for desperate measures. I also think that there is a rise in gun violence in Tucson something to look out for

Always keep an eye out for trouble, but if you stay on the main streets in popular/tourist neighborhoods you will be fine. If you’re hanging around at night go into busier sections along biscayne or brickelll.

About me
Hola hola! My name is Sophie, and I love learning, adventure, and people. I grew up with a busy and boisterous family so I love any chance I get to spend with other families, spending lots of time playing with kids, and hearing other people's stories! I very much like being outside - playing any sports, running, hiking, anything. I'm also a big fan of the arts - so anything reading/literature, music, writing, theatre, I'm there. (probably) My favorite thing to do is learn new things - my most recent skills I've been learning are pool and frisbee (lol) but truly and genuinely love working at something and growing in an area. With workaway especially I was hoping to make progress in learning French! I do have a very small part-time online job, so whatever place I stay I would need to take a few hours a week to use my computer to complete my tasks. But overall I would say I'm someone with a lot of energy who loves to be in the moment with other people. I do also keep a blog :))
