Is the USA Safe?

Yep. You betcha. And then some.

We get it—traveling somewhere new comes with questions. Is it safe? Are hostels even a thing in the US? Short answer: Yes and yes.

The USA is packed with epic places to explore, and hostels are popping up everywhere from national parks to the hearts of major cities. Whether you’re headed to New York, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Hawaii, or the Florida Keys, there’s a hostel ready to welcome you—with clean sheets, solid vibes, and a community of fellow explorers.

And when it comes to safety? Most US hostels take it seriously. Think secure storage for your gear, 24-hour staff, female-only dorm options, keycard access, and glowing reviews from travelers just like you. As always, travel smart: read reviews, lock up your valuables, trust your gut, and keep your street smarts on (just like you would anywhere).

Bonus: many US hostels are way more than a bed. Some are tucked into historic buildings, others are sustainability-focused or art-filled. They’re run by passionate teams who want you to have a safe, fun, and unforgettable experience.

So yeah—pack your bag, do your research, and don’t sleep on the hostel scene in the States. (Well, actually do sleep there. That’s kinda the point.)
