Boone is very safe during the day and at night. I have never felt unsafe when walking alone. It is a college town so there will be some drunk people on the weekends but really not notable. The police respond fast if anything happens but there is no big police presence usually. Boone is a very safe town

About me

Hey! I’m Ava, 21, from North Carolina and currently studying nutrition at App State. I’m traveling Europe this summer and trying to see as much as possible while still actually enjoying it. I love being active (hiking, exploring, anything outdoors), trying new food, and meeting people along the way. I’m pretty easygoing but also like to stay safe and aware, especially when traveling solo. If you’re down for exploring, grabbing food, or just not doing things alone, I’d love to connect :)
