Alaska, Solo travel
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!

Louisville, Family travel
This was one of the best trips I went on with family. We got to go into a cave and see the history behind it. It was a stay for about a week and we stayed in an airbnb . The food and people were amazing. This was such an amazing experience 10/10 I recommend

Jacksonville
Jacksonville is relatively safe during the day. However, there is a large homeless population and they stay around the downtown area. The crime rate is pretty high for Jacksonville and it’s best to stay alert.

Winooski is a small inclusive town with a strong community. As a woman, I feel comfortable walking around at night by myself. There are a few homeless people in town that are generally friendly and are looked after by some townspeople.

Felt unsafe while walking on the streets in the afternoon where 2 men were after us. It’s was very much uncomfortable but couldn’t help so had to stop at a store for them to leave us and rushed to my place

About me
Hii! Im Elizabeth. I go by Elizabeth or lizard 🦎. Im 29 soon to be 30 and newly married to my hub, sean. Im from L.A county and moved because you cant save money in cali. I have adhd and I am very energetic and extroverted and im down for many things. I dont enjoy drinking though so if your personality is barhopping I fear youd go alone as those environments stress me out. But ill go dance! I love nature, boba, asain food, ice cream, book, walks, train rides, music, and more. Ive traveled a lot in the last 2 years. Travel has helped me heal so many internal scars and I think its so important for those who can, to do so. Theres so much to see and I live on only a sand grains portion of earth. Im down to thrift or stay home and bake cookies and Im a huge cat lady. I have 2 fur sons names lucky and yoda. I would love to exchange culture and travel stories, recipes, ect. Connections made while traveling is arguably the best part of the trip. I cant wait to meet you all :)
