Banff, Solo travel
I traveled solo to Canada and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I spent three months between Edmonton, Banff, and Calgary, and honestly… the landscapes completely blew my mind. Everything feels so safe — there’s literally no sense of insecurity, even when you’re on your own. And the best part is that I didn’t even pay for accommodation, because I was doing volunteer house-sitting and pet-sitting. Banff especially was magical. Canada is definitely a place I’d go back to a thousand times

Toronto is such a beautiful city with an amazing atmosphere! I stayed with family in Rosedale during July and the weather was incredible. I never once felt unsafe during my visit, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming!

Modern and clean city with plenty to do during the Summer. Lots of events, concerts, festivals going on for the whole period. Large cosmopolitan city so it's easy to meet people or travel buddies, if you're open to it. Had the most wonderful meal at Alo Bar. Love the amount of ice cream shops too.

Very chill city, people are calm and nice, there are homeless people around certain pockets but they usually mind their own business, just have to get used to seeing them on the streets and don’t actively interact with them

I’ve never had any problems ever since I moved in Quebec City last year. It is a very safe environment for women :) You are never 100% safe from a catcall or something like that but you will never be in danger here

It's generally safe here, certain areas of town are higher in crime but if you avoid walking around those neighborhoods alone at night you'll be ok. I walk home from Broadway area at night all the time and never any issues. Downtown and other areas west you're better off with friends or using rideshare/cab, or ebikes in the summer.
