Cleveland, Solo travel
I’ve been to Cleveland before multiple times (I’m from the broader “Cleveland Area”) and there’s so much to do and see. I especially love going downtown but never at night. There’s much to be desired about safety for women’s sake at night.

San Diego, Solo travel
A solo trip to San Diego with my dog felt like the perfect reset. The city is super dog friendly, so we spent our days at the beach, exploring Balboa Park, and relaxing at outdoor cafés. People were incredibly friendly and always stopped for long conversations because of my dog so it never felt lonely. The only downside was the tiny parking spots and expensive parking fees.

I went with a group of friends and there was always something to do! Wether that be going ti the beach or walking doing all the shops. All of their nightlife is super cool to go and the variety of restaurants they have you can always find something to choose from.

Nice place, just not a lot to do if you get bored. You can hike and go shopping, but that'd about it. Restaurants were decent, still havent found a good spot that I'd go back to yet. Still looking though.

I have had no accidents so far, but I've heard of shootings and even a bomb threat just a few days ago. There is a lot of unsafe drivers as well. I would say that during the day I feel safe enough to go out and even at night in most areas.

Gansevoort
Gansevoort is incredibly safe in my opinion. I rent a room in a house on a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood. Never had any packages stolen off the porch, no home or car burglary. I’m right on the edge of Gansevoort/Wilton and Saratoga Springs, so most of my errands are in SS. I’d be careful June-early September in SS and try to avoid Broadway and Union Ave because it gets swamped with tourists for the race track.

I’ve seen the city getting less and less safe as an increase of I.C.E. agents are coming into town. If you are a person of color I recommend practicing extreme caution around law enforcement or in places with large crowds.

Idyllwild
Idyllwild is a small mountain town with very little crime. If any, it comes from tourists visiting town. Safety hazards are mainly from risks taken when climbing and hiking. As a woman, you are generally safe to walk around town without an issue.
