I’m considering a solo trip to Mexico for the first time, and I’m feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. I’ve heard so many great things about the culture and food, but I can’t shake my concerns about safety. The reviews I’ve seen online seem to be all over the place, especially regarding solo travel in more remote areas.
A friend recommended places like Oaxaca and San Miguel de Allende because of their welcoming vibes. I’d love to hear from anyone with experience traveling solo in Mexico. Are there specific regions you would recommend or any tips for staying safe? Also, how do you find reliable transport options? I appreciate any insights you can share!
Oaxaca is definitely a great choice! I traveled solo there last year and felt pretty safe, especially in the city center. For transport, I mostly used local buses and shared rides, which were reliable and affordable. Just be aware of your surroundings, especially at night, but overall I think you’ll have an amazing time!
I traveled solo in Mexico last year and really enjoyed Oaxaca; it’s pretty chill and the people are friendly. Just stick to well-populated areas and avoid sketchier parts at night. For transport, I found using app-based services like Uber worked really well and felt safer than local taxi stands. Hope that helps!
