I was there for a short time but it was incredible to visit Los Angeles like a dream. It's just beautiful and I love the food . But honestly it's better if you have a car because it's not the best way to visit Los Angeles with the bus , what I mean it’s that you can go to a place faster than with a bus.

Fishing for salmon on the Kenai, saw wild eagles along the banks, dolphins in the water, and all sorts of wildlife along hikes. Friendly bars and restaurants for a bite to eat. Locals were kind and welcoming.

Im an au pair so have been here for awhile and seen a large part of California and I love it, most places are safe but for bigger city there are smaller crimes so never leave stuff in car. Otherwise beautiful nature!

I've traveled pretty frequently around the country with my family, been to at least half the states in the country. There are so many places with several different activities, almost every state has something available for larger parties, especially families!

Worcester
I’ve lived in Worcester about 3 years now. I’ve felt uncomfortable at times but never put in harms way. The area surrounding Cambridge Street isn’t the best, I used to live there and it was pretty sketchy. The downtown area has its share of unhoused individuals who may ask you for money or men who will catcall but Ive never had any physical altercations with anyone. Theft is common, so just keep an eye on your things and you’ll be fine.

I would caution walking alone in the downtown area. Like any big city, just have to be careful and mindful. Certain area to avoid, like Oak Cliff and Deep Ellum. Otherwise, other areas are safe and haven’t had any issues

I’ve lived in Minneapolis for 7 years. I’ve lived pretty close to downtown and haven’t felt unsafe. There hasn’t been crime that I’ve observed in my area. Though I wouldn’t leave your car unlocked but otherwise I haven’t had any issues.

It's safe enough. Just stay clear of the tweakers down Oro Dam Blvd and in the neighborhood just south. Might get your wallet taken out of your hand if you're just standing there drunk on the sidewalk not paying attention, but I don't think there's much violence.

About me
I’m a high school language teacher, and although I’m older, I have a youthful attitude. I like to meet new people, try new food, and learn something new as I explore new places. I prefer spending longer times in 1 place rather than a day or two in many places. Plain and simple. I love to host visitors and take them around, too.

About me
Hi! I’m Katie 😊 I’m into astrology, spirituality, philosophy, history, and exploring new places. I love wandering cute streets, finding good food and coffee, meeting interesting people, and having deep conversations about life. I’m also learning figure skating, which has become my newest obsession ⛸️ Always down for a little adventure, meaningful connection, or just laughing over drinks/mocktails and people-watching somewhere beautiful.
