Bozeman is an overall safe community, as it it a small town in Montana. But I would beware of nights on main street as I have heard of some women getting followed or roofied at the bar. But if you are avoiding these places it should be safe. However 2 years ago my car got broken into, next to campus. I would just keep belongings with you at all times, as I don’t think they would rob you directly

Bozeman is very safe. I have lived there most of my life and had very little issues. I have only had one thing stolen out of my car in the last 10 years. I used to leave my car open all the time. I now lock the door but never had an issue again. It's always good to be cautious.

About Me

Hello good people! I am currently traveling, hoping to discover something that sparks my interest as I’m making a career change. I love meeting new people while traveling. In fact, all of my favorite travel memories center around the new friendships that I’ve made along the way. I love the outdoors; hiking, biking, camping, fishing but also am very interested in history and enjoy sightseeing in cities and trying local cuisine. I’m easy going and can be happy lying on the beach all day or spending the day hopping from one activity to another. Looking forward to connecting with other ladies in this small world!

About me

Hey I’m Sidney! I’m 21 and love nothing more than to travel. I love trying new things and I really want to experience the local culture I’m in. I have spent a lot of my life traveling and understand that it can be scary so if I can lend a helping hand or show someone around it would really be a full circle thing for me
