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.

Chicago
Chicago is generally safe but you should stay aware of your surroundings. Crime can happen anywhere especially in a big city. There is a good amount of police presence and I have no problem walking around the city by myself. Sometimes there are people with mental health issues or petty crime so just stay aware. You can walk around during the day, party at night, but stay in the Northside. Anywhere from the Loop (including South and West loop) to Lakeview is generally fine. Avoid going further...

Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres gets a bad reputation sometimes, but honestly, like anywhere else, it depends on where you are. I’ve sold homes all over Lehigh and know many families who have lived there for years without any issues. It’s a large community, so some neighborhoods are quieter than others. Like any city, there are areas that are more desirable than others. My advice is always to visit the specific neighborhood, drive through at different times of day, and talk to the people who actually live there....

During the day is perfectly fine to go out and explore but of course use precautions going anywhere During nighttime unless in the downtown area which has more police presence. Never follow anyone anywhere,and have some safety items on you at all times.

This area is relatively quiet and safe. It’s more of a family oriented neighborhood. Lots of great restaurants and shops. I feel safe here at night and I don’t feel like I’m in danger. I can walk at night and feel safe.

About me
Hi I’m Jimena I’m American by nationality but ethnically proud Mexican solo female traveler currently on a trip around Europe I would love to use this experience to meet people and learn their culture. I can also would love to share stories of life and just experience the city through your eyes. I personally started traveling when I was young through Mexico seeing the pyramids and the rich culture of my country inspired me to travel outside when i could. I could give you recommendations for Mexico and help you with your Spanish. Nos vemos! ☺️. If you’re ever in Chicago let me know!
