It was a beautiful city. I enjoyed walking around in day and night by myself around downtown and felt completely safe. Boat ride in Riverwalk is a must. Six flags was a fun. I learnt so much about Texas’s history from Alamo.

obviously regular crime happens, like anywhere else might be, it's not too bad. not like LA or anything. occasional car break-ins or porch theft, but at least where I live it's actually relatively good.

Depending on the area it can vary. Locals are pretty kind to tourists but it can get sketchy in certain areas after nightfall. I have lived here my whole life and generally feel safe in my area, but everyone’s experience is different.

I feel very safe. I would be weary of downtown as some spots do have a homeless population and some can be abrasive. There's plenty of people around it is just when parking is scarce. There is plenty of parking garages though. Always be aware of your surroundings.

It’s a relatively safe place if you stay in the northern half of San Antonio. Only thing you really need to be concerned about is when you go out (drugs, men being weird, etc.) Overall it’s a fairly safe place

San Antonio overall is a pretty safe community. Downtown is like anywhere else downtown, but if you branch out to suburbs or different neighborhoods, overall I’m not afraid walking to my car at night leaving the bar by myself.

About me

Hello my name is Abby! I’m someone who truly loves learning, whether that’s through books, people, or traveling to new places. I enjoy getting lost in a good book, trying new foods, and experiencing different cultures, and this year I’m making it a goal to travel more and explore the world beyond my comfort zone. I’m single with no kids, which gives me the freedom to be spontaneous and really enjoy new adventures. I’m always excited to meet people who share a love for travel, curiosity, and meaningful conversations, and I’d love to find travel buddies who are just as eager to make memories, discover new places, and enjoy great food along the way.
