Thanks guys for all the inputs, i didn't expect it to start such a fuss, but I learned a lot of things through your posts.
Just to sum it up for my situation and i hope I have understood the rules: I am allowed to fly instrument approaches in VMC without a safety pilot, in order to satisfy my IFR approach recency requirements. However it is common sense to take a safety pilot even in VMC so I can concentrate on the approach. Also, i can fly under the hood in VMC for 3 hours every 90 days while taking a safety pilot to satisfy the IFR flight recency requirements.
Thank you for your times again.
