My first solo trip was to Iquitos Feb 2022 for a 10 Day Healing Journey in the Amazon at Aya Healing Retreats. I felt safe because of their trauma informed leadership helping to create safer spaces for healing. My mentor Atira Tan is head of Integration and I trusted this would be a wonderful experience which is was. I look forward to returning in 2027.

I went not only to Cusco, so those photos were took in Quillabamba and Maranura too, but I loved it! It was beautiful and so peacefull! People were really nice and food was really good! I felt safe there even when it was dark! I recommend it!

A wonderful 10-day stay in Peru. I went to Cusco where I was able to visit Machu Picchu, the Hill of Seven Colors, and many other pre-Hispanic sites. Then on to Nazca, and then Lima. I hope to have the chance to go back. However, be careful of altitude sickness.

During the daytime it is extremely safe, you can use your phone, walk around with your backpack on your back, and there are many tourist sites to walk to. This city has many activities to do and it is very easy to get a taxi (torito). Women can walk around in shorts and a t-shirt no problem and no cat calling.
Posted: January 29, 2026It's safe. Obviously, you have to be careful with your belongings on the street, like your phone, and at night, be careful in small streets and use secure taxis. There are areas that tourists should not take risks.

Felt a bit abandoned and just overall unsafe. Not many people around, seemingly empty stores, very odd. Enjoyed my trip there overall just a tad worried when walking around outside the hostel. Cool city though.

I’m the kind of girl who smells like saltwater, drives like the wind, and dreams in colors no one has named yet. 🌈✨Practice Inca believe represented by the Inca flag 🏳️🌈 🌊 By day, you’ll find me chasing waves or riding my motorbike toward the sunset — wind in my hair, freedom stitched into my soul. ✌️ Some friends call me a hippie — barefoot at heart, always chasing good vibes, starry skies, and spontaneous adventures. 💻 And yes, I’m a digital nomad — working from beaches, cafés, mountaintops, or wherever the Wi-Fi (and my heart) takes me. 💼 But don’t be fooled: behind this sun-kissed smile is a sharp, strategic mind that knows how to close deals, lead meetings, and run a business like a boss. I’m incense and spreadsheets, barefoot and heels, meditation and negotiation. Under the suits? My tattoo tuxedo — a little inked reminder of the wild heart beneath the polished surface. 😉 A walking contradiction? Maybe. A balance of chaos and clarity? Definitely. A woman who lives fully, works fiercely, and wanders boldly? Always. I don’t fit into a box — I paint it, Ride over it, And turn it into art. 🎨
