Maui, Group travel
I was in Maui with a missions group for 3 months! We were mostly in Haiku and Pai'ia on the north shore. Hitch hiking with few girls is rhe safer way to go, while having a guy is safer, it takes a lot longer to get rides.

Manhattan, you had my whole heart! 🗽✨ Last March, I had the pleasure of attending the IECSC Trade Show in New York City and it was absolutely amazing the energy, the education, the beauty industry all in one place! 🙌🏽 But the trip wasn't all business… I got to soak in the magic of Times Square, stand in awe at the World Trade Center, and walk the iconic Brooklyn Bridge 🌉 honestly a full New York moment! The city is everything they say it is and more. One thing though next time I need a...

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!

Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City is generally safe. Walking around in downtown is relatively fine. There is a large population of unhoused individuals. There are certain parks in Rose Park area where you will find used needles. Safest areas are Sugarhouse, the Avenues, the Bench, Millcreek and Cottonwood heights. Sugarhouse is my favorite and is very community-minded.

Pretty safe during the day in the downtown area, can get a bit sketchy at night and in the less crowded places. Would not recommend going alone when it’s dark if it not main roads in downtown, otherwise pretty good

There's not a lot happening here, just avoid Lehman street and you're good, Cumberland street and Quentin road are the busiest, and the whole place isn't super walkable. Don't you worry too much though.

I love Knoxville. As long as you’re being smart you’ll usually be safe! Just stay and let areas with all the people on campus and the strip are usually really safe same with downtown. During the day Knox is so perfect and so walkable!

About me
Hey I’m Karlie! Southern Indiana gal with a heart for travel - I wanna see it all :) I love to see the sights, find hidden gems, and can go with the flow! I love spontaneity - city or nature? I like both, Down for anything! Cliff jumping in Greece? Done it! Castles in Ireland? See them! Safari in Africa? Done it Volcanoes in Nicaragua? Hiked them! Ride the metro in NYC? Done it! Hiking the Grand Canyon? Yep done that too! When not traveling, I enjoy hosting parties with my friends and going to Renaissance Fairs! I love board games and puzzles, and dancing. I live a big life and I love it.
