How safe is Sámara for female travelers?

Solo travel

Samara is a really nice little beach town, very chill and feels very safe. The beach feels safe and the waves range from very calm to medium height, good for swimming or beginner surfers. There are lots of surf schools, yoga classes and even a massage school. There are several langauge schools and quite a few tourists and a large expat community but the locals are also very friendly. There is a farmers market every Saturday morning! 🍍🥬🥥🍞 There are some local restaurants with good lunch deals for Casado. But a lot of the restaurants are a little over priced and touristy / especially for drinks. But it's not TOO bad and all the food I have had has been good. 🥘🌯🥗 There are various shuttle services based in Samara, I would recommend Interbus 🚌
