London, Solo travel
First time (and so far, only time) solo travelling and it was the most amazing experience ever! Met a lot of awesome people, tried authentic middle eastern and chinese food for the first time. Very friendly people, didnt have a problem with pickpockets or scams. Stumbled upon a pro-palestine protest and regained my hope in humanity, would definitely go again!!

Edinburgh, Solo travel
Edinburgh is a very safe city for solo travel. The public transportation system is easy to navigate. There are so many castles and estates to explore. Don’t miss the highland cows. I highly recommend.

Oxford, Group travel
Did a study abroad trip to Oxford when in college. It was a great first experience traveling without family and doing it with a group but still solo in a way. My friends enjoyed Cafe Tarifa as a hot spot to visit. This was a long time ago so not sure if there still there. Try your hand at punting in the river for a fun activity.

Glasgow
I haven’t had any problems in Glasgow, though, it is a big city and in every big city you can have some looks as a girl. The people were very nice there and it was a great place to stay. I am used to “European culture” so that would definitely be different for everybody.

not save during the night as some druggies smoke there and the robbers might take place so be extra careful and avoid during the night time because as long as its better to use ways which are bright and sound

I have lived in Edinburgh for 8 years and have never had much trouble as a female. The main tips would be keeping your belongings secure in more touristy areas as there are pickpockets, avoid walking alone in dark/dimly lit areas at night, and use the night buses for public transport as a lot of buses run all night and they are very reliable (you can download the Edinburgh Bus & Tram app to see accurate bus times).
