Uzbekistan, Solo travel

I went solo traveling to Uzbekistan in May 2021. I've visited Muynak, Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand and Tashkent. fisrt stop was Muynak, it was music festival over there, I've stayed at the hostel and met a group of people there. after the festival they wanted to hitchhike through the big cities, so I joined them. we stayed at hostels and at friends' houses. so, living costs were very low and affordable. conditions in the hostels were great too! we've cooked our own food we ate the small local places, so food expenses were super low too. the hitchhiking was great, no accidents, very pleasant people. however, to stay safe we divided into groups of two or three. tickets for sights were very affordable. there's a lot of historical places in Uzbekistan and they are all worth the visit

There are a lot of national guard personnel around, I feel safe, the markets are cheap, you can find anything, there are few thieves, just don't leave your wallets and bags anywhere, be careful, you can't use cards everywhere, so keep your money in a safe place.

The people are friendly, everyone minds their own life, and they are hospitable The crime rate is low, it is safe to walk at night, and there is legal protection. Women do not face pressure, and gender equality exists. There are hotels, shops, markets, schools, kindergartens, parks — everything you need.
