Original Summary

i've been solo travelling since i was 20 and kept running into the same problem. every blog says "this city is safe", but what i actually needed to know was whether the next block was okay. one night in japan i walked from a busy street into a nightlife area within a block and got harassed. nothing i'd read mentioned it, because the answer online was always about the whole city so i'm building guardy, a free ios app that: shows up-to-date, street-level safety info for anywhere you search, so you can check the area around your accommodation before booking automatically checks the area you're in while travelling and gives you a heads-up, so you don't have to stay on edge the whole time takes your profile into account (gender, nationality, age), since a street a guy walks through without thinking can feel very different for a woman alone at night i'm a student building this with a small team. it made the global top 10 of google's solution challenge and won the grand prize at a korea tourism organization contest, but awards don't tell me whether actual travellers find it useful. would love blunt feedback, especially from anyone who travels solo https://apps.apple.com/app/guardy-travel-safety-guide/id6755372577 what's the first thing you'd want a safety app to tell you when you arrive somewhere new?   submitted by   /u/Educational-Dot-4192 [link]   [comments]
