Love the chickens and shops- food is great, deals to be found and my friend and I did Waikiki beach and a hostel no issues ( other than losing a shoe 😂). The donuts and poke are unreal. It is loud, but the transit is great and the beach is nice.

I recently visited New York and absolutely loved the experience! It was amazing to explore the city, see all the iconic places, try new food, and just enjoy the atmosphere. I’d definitely love to go back and discover even more of the city! 🗽✨

Lots of historical culture, loved the architecture. Easy to get around if you had your phone to navigate. Felt safe there. Had the clam chowder, went to the Harbor, Boston market . Lots of pubs everywhere.

Sedona, Solo travel
Sedona is famous for its stunning red rock landscape and spiritual energy. Chapel of the Holy Cross is fascinating. So many hiking points and jeep safari to Broken Arrow and Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village must see.

Niagara Falls, Couple travel
I took the Maid of the Mist boat ride. Being so close to the falls and getting soaked was intense. It really makes you respect nature and how powerful the water flow is. I had a great time! I wish I had taken the tour behind the falls. Maybe next time.

Had a really good time. The traffic is insane. But the food is so goooood! We did meet a lot of nice people and enjoyed the nightlife scene as well. Safety wise make sure to practice your basic safety precautions and you’ll be fine.

The most magical trip I have ever taken in my life with very best friend and my parents!🐢The water was breathtaking and the views were like something straight out of a movie. I only had three days there but it was so amazing I would love to go back and stay for several weeks.

I went to Detroit for an exchange program during college and lived there for eight months. The city itself doesn’t have a ton of things to do, but the activities it does have are really interesting, especially when you consider the city’s history.

Nashville, Solo travel
Hey! I just visited Nashville Tennessee, and I absolutely loved it! The city never sleeps live music can be heard almost 24 hours a day, and every weekend, they close the main Broadway route to cars, turning it into a lively, walkable music center. At night it’s a real party! You can walk into almost any music bar free and just enjoy the live performances. There are also plenty of tourist attractions, including museums and old fashioned trolley rides or you can simply take a walk around...

Charleston
Charleston is incredibly safe. As a college town, there is a lot of general security oversight making it safe enough to walk around alone during the day or night. North Charleston can get a bit sketchy after dark.

I don’t have a great gauge compare to other parts of the world yet- but for the us, I’ve always felt very safe. I go to shows by myself and depending on the neighbor take late walks. I also just don’t go out late or party much

Santa Monica is very posh. You have nothing to worry about. Very rarely do we ever get a disturbance. It’s got its own police squad and they patrol constantly and are everywhere. Its super safe. One would say…its too safe.

quite safe during the day, just be aware of your surroundings. at night, take more caution around the international district. light rail is usually more reliable than buses, which can be delayed and slow especially at night.

I’m born and raised in Kansas City. It has its pockets of good areas for sure but there’s plenty of unsafe places as well. I’ve lived on the Westside for several years and have had issues with my car window being busted out (along with about 30 other cars in our loft parking area), my car has been graffiti, and a neighbor backed into my car while pulling out.

As anywhere else as long as you stay in better areas you are fine. There are a lot of unhoused near downtown. I feel pretty safe walking around alone but as a woman I try not to do so at night. Take typical precautions when alone.
