Sedona is EXTREMELY safe. 10,000 peopel it’s truly a resort town and there’s ton of hiking , vortexes to explore, organic cafes, and lots of spas and healing services . It’s pricey as it’s #1 wellness tourism destination in USA and people flock there in summer. Horseridinf 20 mins away in Paige springs. And the resort that I now book all my clients at is Ambiente - for a true lux experience .

Solo travel experience

I went to Sedona for my first week-long trip with car camping with my dog. It seemed to be a very safe place and I saw many other solo travelers. I also met many amazing people there. It changed my perspective on traveling. Additionally, the weather was beautiful.

Solo travel experience

Sedona and the desert in Arizona was a trip that radically changed my life. As a person from the East Coast, I had never seen such a Martian landscape before. Incredible beauty. I really liked the Meteor Crater and Monument Valley. I took part in a tour where we slept in a hogan - a traditional Navajo Indian home, and in the morning we could admire the sunrise in the valley. Truly an amazing place.

Solo travel experience

My most important advice would be: get to the start of the trail as early as possible. Even in January - in the lowest season - before 8:30 (less than an hour after sunrise, and the temperatures were still around 30 degrees), Dry Creek Rd was already lined with cars of people heading to Devil’s Bridge. (The road was parked with cars because the parking lot was already full.)

About Me

Chronically ill spoonie on healing journey. Intentionality and connection with others is what I joined for. I have a dark sense of humor, a whimsical weirdness that many find endearing. I would much rather do laundry or a casual hang out than a fancy dinner. Movies and shows were always an escapism growing up and when I get hooked on a show I love discussing and watching movies or reading together. They tend to be campy and what some would consider cheesy but that's ok. I get along with most people but there is an almost indescribable feeling when you first meet someone and you instantly click and feel so good in their energy and presence. Would love to see if we have that. I am trying to make my way out west as I lost my home due to mold and have been very sick ever since (mixed with autoimmune fun). I have lost so much due to health and I'm not even sure what I'm looking for anymore but alas, here we are on this marble! I am spiritual but not religious. I don't care what you believe as long as you are kind (and funny is always a plus).
