Paris was unforgettable! strolling along the Seine, admiring the Eiffel Tower, enjoying fresh air, and soaking up the city’s charm. Every corner felt magical. apart from a few events with people trying to scam and sell you products for much expensive prices, dont buy that

I feel safe walking around the city at night to my airbnb place. It’s always better to be attentive but nothing happened to me luckily and street is kinda empty. People are super nice, helpful, and willing to speak English! I had a good time there apart from the food poisoning from beef tartare😮💨

Full of people, there’s a half-hour line even to go to the bathroom. The churches are beautiful, especially the Saint Chapelle or San Denis. The metro is very easy to use. However, it’s extremely expensive— a bottle of water costs 6€.

Pretty much the unsafe places or the metros and the trains when they are fully crowded, especially in the touristic areas people just need to mind their luggage and handbags, metal considerate safe still specially if traveling as a group !

It’s a very safe city, but the only problem is it’s either you need a car or wait for the bus and the hardest is the bus during the weekends. There are a lot of places where you can walk by a very small river or do some hiking.

Lyon is a safe city, just a few neighborhoods to avoid. I would not recommend luxury accessories or clothes; try to melt with the people. People in Lyon are so kind, open-minded, and helpful. Overall, it is a very safe and beautiful city. Activities always and for all tastes.

There always are people in the streets because Lyon is a living city so since I past my childhood there I found and find it safe. Some neighborhood are saffer than others, such as the center of Lyon but you can go there without stressing if you are alone.

Hej This is my first time using travelladies. Me and my friend Emily would love to travel while getting to know locals and other female travelers. We always try to create a mix of culture, nature, partying and relaxation while traveling and appreciate noodles with pesto as well as fancy new dishes we never heard of. We plan to stay in Copenhagen from 13-16 August. Afterwards we will work at à berry farm for one week. We are very much looking forward to getting to know you:)

Hello, I am Esther :) From the Netherlands, but spending lots of time in Paris too and living for 4 months in La réunion as aupair. I am always in for - a good conversation - a hike - an urban exploration including visiting lots of parks, bookstores and viewpoins - jam session - having some time to read my book - spending time in a cafe on my own or with friends drinking coffee (daytime) or beer (evening/night). I would say that I live by the saying that the best things in life happen unexpectedly and (solo) traveling really proved that :) Feel free to send a message if you have any questions about NL or just feel like talking :)

Salut, Coucou, Hello, as you wish, I love them all ☺️ I'm Mathilde, Mathou for my close ones. I live in Bordeaux, where I work as a psychologist with people who live with disabilities. I love cinema (without "male gaze"), walking, taking photos, watching videos from politic specialists, activists, talking about my job, learning, watching asmr videos, speaking english, music, writing, singing, hearing people talking about their passions, swimming, playing tennis, make people laugh, postcards, magnets and coasters.... And roller coasters. I've got anxiety but I work on it, the few first minutes being inside a group of unknown people are difficult for me but I love it ! I'm vegetarian, which means I only eat grass. I don't have à perfect english but I would love to improve it with you, in Bordeaux (my beloved city) or anywhere else ! I can't wait to travel and meet people from other horizons ☺️ 👋

About me
Hey, I’m Johanne 21, born under the Leo sign, so yes… I bring the sunshine wherever I go ☀️. I love dancing the night away, sketching in little coffes and wandering through artsy neighborhoods. Always curious about new cultures, I’m happiest when I’m meeting people from different backgrounds and sharing stories. My English isn’t perfect, I understand more than I speak, but that’s exactly why I want to meet people, because the best way to learn is by practicing. Fun fact : I can lick my own elbow (yes, really). Whether it’s getting lost in a city, discovering hidden spots, or laughing until my cheeks hurt, I’m here for the adventure.

About me 🧐? I don't really know what to say, but what I can say is that my name is Clémence and I'm 19 years old. I live in Toulouse, "the Pink City" (by the way, one of the most beautiful cities in France 😁). I'm a second-year law student aiming to work as a diplomat, but it's not a sure thing; the studies will be long, and I like going out with my friends, so we'll see where it all leads 🤣🤣
