I think Duluth is safe for the most part. It's a big city and has it's issues, but what city doesn't? I've only been here a few months so that might have an affect on my outlook too. I haven't had any issues and haven't heard of anything major.

Duluth is a fairly safe city. There is a high homeless population and the amount of drug users is high. Some areas of the city less safe than others. I personally have never had a bad experience but that does not go for everyone.

About me

Hi! I live in Georgia, in the US. I am half Japanese and half (German, English, Irish) . I grew up intrigued by different cultures, and had my first taste at age 18 in South Korea. I extended my stay to study Korean and lived there for two and a half years. The travel bug hasn’t left. :) I’d love to meet new friends through travel! I love learning about culture, history, food, and people. It’ll be great to find sisters around the world! Let’s meet ! :)
