Solo travel

I went there during Mardi Gras and I really enjoyed it. There are parades, good music and entertainment and friendly people.

Solo travel

Overall I felt pretty safe in the areas I visited. However I was super cautious about what streets I walked down and what time of day it was. There was only one time that things felt a bit uneasy.
