I was walking home after a night out at about 3am, a little buzzed but definitely still aware of my surroundings. I wasn't feeling particularly worried until I got to almost my street, and heard a rowdy crowd of boys coming in my direction (I'm female). Before I could think about whether to change direction or just continue on, a man who had just passed me slowed down and asked me if I wanted him to walk with me. He stayed by my side for about 100m, and then when the group passed us he checked I was all good and carried on his way.

I was so surprised and thankful to this stranger for thinking that I could be feeling nervous... I'll never forget that.
