Sedona, Solo travel
Sedona is famous for its stunning red rock landscape and spiritual energy. Chapel of the Holy Cross is fascinating. So many hiking points and jeep safari to Broken Arrow and Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village must see.

I took the Maid of the Mist boat ride. Being so close to the falls and getting soaked was intense. It really makes you respect nature and how powerful the water flow is. I had a great time! I wish I had taken the tour behind the falls. Maybe next time.

Had a really good time. The traffic is insane. But the food is so goooood! We did meet a lot of nice people and enjoyed the nightlife scene as well. Safety wise make sure to practice your basic safety precautions and you’ll be fine.

The most magical trip I have ever taken in my life with very best friend and my parents!🐢The water was breathtaking and the views were like something straight out of a movie. I only had three days there but it was so amazing I would love to go back and stay for several weeks.

Detroit, Solo travel
I went to Detroit for an exchange program during college and lived there for eight months. The city itself doesn’t have a ton of things to do, but the activities it does have are really interesting, especially when you consider the city’s history.

Nashville, Solo travel
Hey! I just visited Nashville Tennessee, and I absolutely loved it! The city never sleeps live music can be heard almost 24 hours a day, and every weekend, they close the main Broadway route to cars, turning it into a lively, walkable music center. At night it’s a real party! You can walk into almost any music bar free and just enjoy the live performances. There are also plenty of tourist attractions, including museums and old fashioned trolley rides or you can simply take a walk around...

One of my favorite places is Sedona, practically in my backyard! I love escaping there to retreat, recharge, enjoy the beauty, and share some of my favorite hidden gems and adventures along the way!!!

California, Group travel
I went to a few state parks and loved the nature. California is so beautiful. It’s good to rent a car to go around Cali. I went to Auberry, Kentfield, Refwoods, Tahoe, Sacramento, Sequoia and Redwood national parks, Muir woods, Kentfield, SF, LA. Didn’t like LA that much because of feeling unsafe.

Honolulu, Solo travel
4 day trip to Hawaii, wasn’t a planned destination for me, but I decided to stop here on my way home from Japan. If you’re comfortable with hostels, I’d recommend Polynesian Hostel Beach Club (clean, staff were really welcoming, movie nights, first come first serve beach chairs & umbrellas, and affordable surfboard rentals, & few minutes walk to the beach and nice strip of shop’s & restaurants) otherwise hotels are definitely pricey. You can get day bus pass for $10 or week bus pass for $40,...

Just a lot of people driving in the nights, people walking randomly in the streets. Downtown is where all the homeless people are. There are a lot of cops that drive around in that area and also in my area too.

Phoenix is moderately safe. Stay away from Mesa, Sounth Mountain and downtown after midnight. Arizona Mills and any clubs in Phoenix watch your drink. Scottsdale and paradise valley definitely safe.

It is a new place, great for families with small children. In this place lives many families with small children there are cameras and I live here only for month but I never heard about any crime. Under the hill there are many car accidents.

I feel safe knowing the area, speaking the language, I don’t look lost or like a tourist. But there are muggings, there can be fights, subways at night I would avoid, homeless can be aggressive. It depends on caution and awareness

To be in any sort of serious danger, you would have to be associating with dangerous, unstable people. Don't do that and you'll be fine. Stay in the most populated areas. Don't go out after dark. Provide evidence of your location somewhere or with someone you trust.

I have not heard of a crime in the past decade since I’ve been living here, except some porch piracy. I am able to return from the city very late on my own. Great under the radar place to reside or find accommodation.
