South Lake Tahoe, Solo travel
Fourteen hours on the road, countless stops, and views that didn’t feel real. Driving around the entire Lake Tahoe, watching the sun set over the water, and taking in the stillness made this trip unforgettable. Sometimes all you need is nature, a long drive, and a reminder of how beautiful life can be. 🫶🏽✨

I was very scared before I visit New York because New York is very very big city. And also, I heard many criminal things that happened in in New York City so I was quite scared because I was traveling alone for the first time, but actually there were some bad people on the street but when I go through them, it was not quite dangerous and oppositely. There were many people who are traveling that city all time so I feel comfortable with them . There are lots of stores open at late night, so I can use them whenever I want and also there are many things to do alone in the city so it was not hard...

I have been several times to PCB! This time in particular was for Thunder Beach, a motorcycle rally. They have a lot designated for vendors, you can have sound systems installed, view bikes for sale, a bike show, lots of apparel like vests and boots, and plenty of fun people dressed up!

Reletively safe, there isn’t a lot of crime during the day besides road incidents. At night however there are several neighborhoods that anyone should stay clear of. Downtown is getting better but still be cautious.

It's pretty safe during the day but I wouldn't walk alone at night. The only spot I would avoid during the day is Aurora it is the spot you will most likely have someone trying to talk to you to sell stuff to you

Sacramento (California’s capital) has safety challenges, especially compared with many U.S. cities — but experiences can vary widely depending on neighborhood and personal habits. Like every other city there’s pros and cons. Sacramento has been safe for me as a person that explorers solo out in the nature.

About me
I’m a high school language teacher, and although I’m older, I have a youthful attitude. I like to meet new people, try new food, and learn something new as I explore new places. I prefer spending longer times in 1 place rather than a day or two in many places. Plain and simple. I love to host visitors and take them around, too.

About me
Hey girlies! I’m thinking about getting a frontier go wild pass! Most of my trips would involve me staying in a city for a one night. Just looking for a couch to crash on in some of my ✨favourite✨ cities! A little about me, I’m very very girly In the way that I love pink and sparkles. I’m very much a girls girl! We can have a talkative girls night but if you need time alone, I’m happie to keep to myself quietly. I’m a very understanding person, and probably won’t judge you for anything unless you are maga or unkind.

About me
Hi everyone!! My name is Megan, and I joined to meet like-minded women who love to travel. One of my values is connection- with others, with food, with culture, with art, with nature. I crave it all. I'm a bit on the nerdy side, love learning random facts and obsessing over books and tv shows. I love going to horror conventions or dressing up like a fairy at the Renaissance Faire. I love walking around a park or a bookstore or exploring a new city. I believe having similar values is integral to building a safe community, so it is important to any who I stay with or who stay with me that I am politically left and believe in social justice.

About me
Based out of Nashville, I travel every opportunity I get. I’ll be in Italy 2/11-2/18 I’m open to going anywhere! I want to see the world, but am happy to explore new places in the US as well or make friends to plan a trip with! Open to hosting & swaps. A little about me: I have an orange cat named Beast, we live in a two bedroom apartment in East Nashville (the most creative, artsy, and active night life for locals). I love film, architecture, history, thrifting/antiquing, art, and the food & beverage industry (which I work in.) If you’d like to visit Nashville; I’m so excited to have you. I work adjacent to the service industry as a brand representative, so I know all of the best spaces and community for food, bevies, and nightlife. I love finding cheap flights if you need any help planning your trips; I have my methods. So happy to be a part of this community! I went through a tough breakup a couple months ago, and am excited for my own personal “eat pray love” adventure, but have definitely been nervous to travel abroad alone for my first time. I appreciate any tips & support. <3

About me
Hello, I'm Akshaya. I'm an engineer, recently moved to NJ and I love to read and write books (Stories I mean). I wanted to solo travel but have always been scared of it. I am more indoor than outdoor person. But like to roam around the city and explore food and culture in different places. Beaches over mountains. I like a quiet evening watching sunset while starting at it blankly than hiking my way to the top of the mountains.
