Oahu, Solo travel
Awsome culture I love the people. The Island is always going to provide you with kindness if you respect it. Make sure to stick with ‘Ohana and respect the rules and the elders. If you travel alone accomodation is really expensive so make sure you check ahead of time, meet people, make friends and you will for sure find people that are alike that can help you figure it out! Being kind and respectful is most important!

I think it’s a nice city to visit in the USA. As a women, I’d say it’s fairly safe but I wouldn’t feel safe walking around the city after dawn. As any other Texan cities, there’s a lot of people carrying guns around there so it does make me feel less safe but overall I think it’s a nice place to see as long as you are accompanied after dawn and stay in the city without roaming in remote areas around

I was in Maui with a missions group for 3 months! We were mostly in Haiku and Pai'ia on the north shore. Hitch hiking with few girls is rhe safer way to go, while having a guy is safer, it takes a lot longer to get rides.

Manhattan, you had my whole heart! 🗽✨ Last March, I had the pleasure of attending the IECSC Trade Show in New York City and it was absolutely amazing the energy, the education, the beauty industry all in one place! 🙌🏽 But the trip wasn't all business… I got to soak in the magic of Times Square, stand in awe at the World Trade Center, and walk the iconic Brooklyn Bridge 🌉 honestly a full New York moment! The city is everything they say it is and more. One thing though next time I need a...

If you have a scooter , bike or car there is no problem. Main areas like the beach are okay , but walking alone in other neighborhoods could be dangerous. There are drunk or drugged people and you have to be careful .

You are okay here but be mindful! I especially recommend Lincoln Park for cute stuff and a very safe neighborhood. If you need to be out and about later at night please take an Uber. Far less scams than I've seen in other big cities. Being by the lake around Diversey and Fullerton is safe and so wonderful.

I personally feel comfortable living in Plymouth Meeting because it is not too crowded and has everything I need nearby. I feel safe walking around during the day, and the community feels peaceful and organized.

Peoria like any city has its ups and downs. Use common sense and be aware of your surroundings and you’ll be ok. Most people are respectful and willing to help so long as you do the same. There isn’t too much to do here but new things are opening every day. The police here are either very nice or awful.
