I was travelling solo from Malaysia to Christchurch for a conference. I met a few friends there and would go around with them. But most of the time I also like to walk alone. Although a few years have passed since the mosque attack, I also feel cautious especially as a Muslim hijabi. But it was all okay, people were friendly and Christchurch to me looks like a city of rebuilding and relearning, especially after the earthquake. I was partially sponsored for my accommodation and flight so I wasn't sure of the rate. I stayed at an Airbnb on my last night as it was near the airport, it was a really nice airbnb with super friendly hosts I walk a lot, the food was okay, but I also tried the Uber and Uber food there.

Visited Churchyard where my ancestor was buried. Viewed the damaged buildings of the earthquake. Drove the Coast, and found an art school, the whole country smelled like smokey bbq. I stayed at a pretty safe small hotel in the City and wandered around. Traveled also to Bali where I met my lovely female orangutan friend at the wildlife park. Liked Bali as I hired a driver and met his sweet family. Ate local fish together- scary fish but tasty. Sad thing, no Batik.

Very safe. There’s always different aspects of all areas in the world but I usually always feel very safe. It depends what time of the day, what area, what activity is being done but for the most part I believe it is very easy to Lee safe. New Zealanders are not hostile towards tourists from what I can gather.
Posted: February 11, 2025Very safe city overall! There are of course the occasional crimes committed here but I have never been a victim of one and I would personally say nz is one of the safest countries in the world. A great place for solo travel

Kia Ora 😀 I love all things adventure and having new experiences. I love food, music (especially electronic), hiking, kayaking, Lyra, climbing, meeting new people and living life as mindfully as I can. I am 35 and have a son who is about to leave home at the end of the year. I hosted Airbnb for year and have met some of my favourite people through this so when I found this app, it seemed perfect to me. Almost being an empty nester means I will get to do a lot more solo travel. I'm so excited to get out to see the world and to meet wonderful new humans! I am open minded, rainbow friendly and accepting of all people and their backgrounds and experiences.
