Solo travel experience
I was solo in New Orleans in June. It was great. It was hotter than hell but beautiful, lots to do, friendly, and I didn’t feel unsafe. I live in a major city and it didn’t feel any different than any other big city feels.

I went to New Orleans and caught buses, trams and walked after dark. Not once did I feel unsafe. I stayed out at Audubon Park, so easy to get transport into the city, and saved so much money from staying further out. Great walking around that neighborhood too.

I was there all by myself. It’s super safe. I ate everywhere and since I was alone I was able to go in front of long lines and eat at a bar. I went on a swamp tour. I walked thru all the cemeteries. Took a boat ride. Rode the streetcar and even did a little thrift shopping I did not have a car nor needed one. I was going to go on a bike tour but ran out of time.
