Joshua Tree National Park, Couple travel
Large national park with a cute town outside of it. You could make several day trips through the park and hike with different views if you want. We only had one full hiking day. We stayed at a renovated motel and had access to great food including vegetarian options. This was the most amazing dark sky area I have been to for stargazing.

New York, Couple travel
I’ve been to NY for 10 days, a lot of attractions to enjoy and interesting activities to do. Lot of things to discover also.. the city that never sleeps. I definitely will go in the future, but it is very expensive.

Miami Beach, Couple travel
I have spent 10 days in Miami and I feel after a week, you feel bored.. I am nt denying that Miami can be very intersting also, but not as much as other cities. the most attractive activity is going to the different beaches, on my humble opinion.

Orlando, Couple travel
In Orlando I only spent time going to amusement park for Disney and Universal. I spent almost no time in the city, so I cannot say I’ve been to Orlando. But I can say that it is worthy the different parks.

I come here to visit my friend who recently moved here for a new job. Sometimes, when she is at work, I like to walk around the city by myself. I always feel very safe and I have a wonderful time. When I go out with her and her roommates for karaoke and drinks, we always have a blast.

Houston
Houston feels more safe than many large cities. There are occasional expected car break ins, but general situational awareness is fine especially during the day. Note that public transit ridership is low after dark.

I think it’s very safe. I would feel comfortable 99% of the time alone. Just like any other city, at night you should be cautious alone. But I think that’s anywhere. The oceanfront alone after a few drinks is probably not ideal, but otherwise you are good.

Exercise normal precautions. Stay where the people are. Do not get too inebriated by alcohol or drugs if you are alone at night. I'd say avoid being alone at night in areas where there are few people around, but that's my rule for any new place that you're not familiar with.

Pretty safe, never felt threatened, main street is the busiest area, always people out there, i don't have anymore to add to that actually, coffeshops are also very nice and the beaches too, people are nice

In these areas and some others there will be lots of homeless people some are nice and some are crazy and violent. There are also break-ins to people’s cars or gang violence. Just try to avoid these areas but in general it’s safe to have your phone out or talk to strangers especially in the day time.
