Cancún, Solo travel
It's my first solo travel and it's very safe. There are alot to explore in Cancun. I was even enjoying the circus show in the middle of the street. The food was very delicious. Isla Mujeres is a must visit Island.

I visited Oaxaca, Mexico for the Guelaguetza Festival July 2025. It was a beautiful experience to witness such immense pride that Oaxacans expressed for their state's diverse heritage. I can't wait to go back!

This was my 2nd trip to Guanajuato. This time we took the tour to the famous attractions. We got to visit the museum of mummies again. But this time we got to go the mirador that looks over the city and check out some other museums. It was a fun experience. Sadly the hotel we stayed at was not it.

It's actually very safe. Most tourism is based on coffee, which is excellent quality by the way. It's an hour away from the Veracruz port (airport) and half an hour from Orizaba, the cleanest magical town in all of Mexico.

Like all places, there are delicate areas, but the place where I live is quiet, safe, and monitored. It is a residential development with only one entrance in a quiet area in the Rolls of Pachuca de Soto.

I feel safe to walk around any time of day being mindful and aware same as I would anyplace. The stress and sidewalks are uneven so be mindful of that to not fall. I walk often with friends along the main tourist avenues that are very brightly lit by shops and hanging lights. People are a friendly mix

About me
Hola! Soy estudiante de medicina y una de mis más grandes pasiones (si no es que la más grande) es viajar por todo el mundo. Actualmente he visitado aproximadamente diez estados en mi país, México, y en mis planes de año nuevo siempre está conocer muchos más. En julio del 2026 saldré por primera vez del país a Colombia. Soy viajera de bajo presupuesto, lo mío es conocer a los locales y ver el lado verdadero de los lugares que visito, no sólo lo turístico, no me llama en absoluto la atención ir a encerrarme a hoteles y no conocer alrededores. Me encanta leer, correr y ver películas. Si tienes planeado un viaje a Veracruz, serás bienvenida en mi casa. :)

About me
Hi!! I’m Dani, a Mexican traveler and architecture student. I speak Spanish, English, and French, and I’m learning Italian and German. I had the chance to live in France for a year as an exchange student. I love exploring new cultures through art, architecture, and food. I enjoy dancing, going out, meeting genuine people, and making the most out of life with good food and positive vibes. I’m currently traveling across Europe for summer vacation and would love to connect with other women travelers to share stories, tips, or just a nice walk through the city.
