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.

Idyllwild
Idyllwild is a small mountain town with very little crime. If any, it comes from tourists visiting town. Safety hazards are mainly from risks taken when climbing and hiking. As a woman, you are generally safe to walk around town without an issue.

Like seriously safe. Very little crime. In la Jolla theres more crime but in Carlsbad its super safe and pretty. Everyone is super friendly. Always fun things to do. The only issue are the ebike kids lol

Idaho Falls is very very safe. We do have two rougher areas where a lot of our violent and drug related crimes happen: The Lettered Streets and the “tree” (maple, poplar, etc). Downtown is super safe though! Most of the crime that happens is from one drug user to another but I’d say to stay away from those areas just to avoid dealing with someone who may be high. I run the Greenbelt all the time and feel very safe.

Lots of areas were you can walk at night safely. As long as you stay near the main city and closer to the water the safer it is. Lots of people at night especially on weekends. Neighborhoods are quiet but poorly lit.
