I have never had a problem walking alone or by myself at night in Boise, I walk home in the dark from work and I have never had an issue. There is some thefts on the college campus, but never violent.

It's very safe, never had anything happen in my neighborhood and I can feel safe waking around at night by myself. I absolutely love where I live and wouldn't change it for the world. I love traveling but Boise is always my forever home.

About me

Hi! I’m Lydia! 40 year old single entrepreneur. Now that my children are getting older (ages 15 and 22), I want to start traveling and would love the opportunity to meet new people. I find more of myself everytime I go somewhere new. Traveling has always called to me with the urge to wander and explore. I have room to host a guest with a relaxing yard and animal friends. We are a quiet family who enjoy keeping company. I can be your friend in Boise, show you around or point you in the right directions for food, music, art, hiking and activities.
