Chicago, Solo travel
Chicago was an amazing city to visit! I loved walking around downtown and along the lakefront – the views are beautiful, especially near Millennium Park and the famous Bean. The architecture is incredible and there are so many great places to eat and explore. I also felt comfortable traveling around the main tourist areas, especially during the day. It’s a vibrant city with a lot of culture, food, and things to see. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Bar Harbor is a quaint town in a truly beautiful location. The folks here are very friendly, and you can tell there is a rich history to the area. Overall I had a lovely time exploring the shops and trying the food!

New York, Group travel
It was the best experience of my life especially since I went during Christmas time, it has always been my dream to go to New York especially during the most of December (it was really packed) but overall would 100% go again and spend time in a different month to see more of it. It was the best time of my life.

I would just be careful there are crazy people. Be aware of surroundings and I tend to not go out at night. Sometimes I hear gun shots or crazy people walking in the middle of the road at night. Stay safe

It’s a very small rural town so it is very safe. If ever someone’s vehicle were to break down, a local would be kind and help them out.

Buffalo is a fairly safe city. Avoid the fruit belt streets (they are named after fruits). Day time is safe to go pretty much anywhere. Night time I would say to avoid walking alone through the middle of downtown and just be aware of your surroundings Safe neighborhoods include: Elmwood, Allen, and Hertel thought Hertel is a bit less populated at night.
