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 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.

Depends on the area (like all places) The homeless population has grown making it unsafe in some areas. Avoid van buren, maryvail and low street numbers near Thomas. Would not recommend public transport. Other area are beautiful and feel very safe.

SF is pretty safe overall as long as you're smart and aware of your surroundings. During the day you'll be completely fine, but always be careful at night time. I would stay out of the Tenderloin at any time if possible, but especially at night.

Phoenix is usually safe for tourist, but I wouldn’t go out at night by myself especially as a woman. Crime rate is pretty high so just be cautious when you’re outside at night and don’t leave your drinks unattended in clubs/ bars.

Tyler is pretty safe in the day time. In public areas at night, I feel fairly safe. I would never be alone at night in rural areas or even grocery stores. It’s a somewhat small town and I feel that most people have good intentions. I am only nervous in parking lots at night or in downtown Tyler when I am alone.
