Munich, Group travel
I absolutely loved this gorgeous city! Public transport worked perfectly, it was super clean and it was easy to move around. The only thing I didn't like about Munich was the amount of harassment I experienced from men. I was even followed once. It’s a beautiful city and totally worth it, but be careful (as you would anywhere) if you go on your own!

I went to Germany on a school trip. We had a collaboration with a german school, and it was really interesting. We lived in Schwetzingen, went to the John Deere factory and did some shopping in Mannheim, as well as explored/shopped and went to the Kulturbraueri in Heidelberg.

This year i traveled to hamburg with my whole class🙏 Def one of the beat experiences i‘ve had. it was so much fun and we saw a bunch if stuff (especially in the redlight district) Our original stay was weißenhäuser strand, which was an incredible cool „town“ idk if you can call it that. We drank too much one night and the security came knocking on our door (i was asleep) I would definitely do it again especially in a large group. Looking forward to visiting hamburg again (this year maybe...

Munich, Group travel
This was my first trip to Munich, and although it was a short one, I really enjoyed it. We mostly explored the beautiful old town, wandered through the city center, and took in the atmosphere. My favorite spot was definitely the Eisbach. It was the perfect place to cool off in the hot weather, even though the water was incredibly cold! I didn’t get to see everything this time, but it definitely made me want to come back and explore more.

Black Forest, Group travel
With a fellow travel lady, I went backpacking through the Black Forest. We walked a total of 160kms from Forbach to the Feldberg. We spent the nights either in trekking camps, in campsites or on farms. The landscapes were beautiful, we came across many lakes such as Herrenwiesensee, Titisee and Mathisleweiher (my favourite!). Overall, we felt very safe and met lots of lovely, mostly elderly people encouraging us to finish this eight day hike. If you like spending time outdoors, I highly...

Perfect for people seeing something intense and special experience. Most attractive city in Germany absolutely but as a solo traveler, It would be better to take care yourself on nighttime especially.

I went to Bonn to visit a friend of mine and it was an amazing experience. The river was so nearby and with the train Cologne was only an hour. I also liked Koblenz and I recommend to everyone. Just go and explore

Berlin was fun. We didn’t get in to Berghain (lol) but we did our own tour of the city and the vibes were great. Public transportation is very easy and convenient. Very diverse food options. Great rave venues - I would love to go back and let loose again!

I visited Berlin at the beginning of April and it was so so nice! It is very easy to meet new people, the international setting allows you to meet people from all around the world. I really enjoyed going to a rave and I’m sure I’ll be coming back for more!!

Nothing has happened to me yet, but I feel particularly unsafe when I'm walking around this area alone at night. Therefore, I would recommend doing things thorough the day and when you're outside at night better take a friend.

It is okay. But avoid Lebensstedt at night. Would not recommend to go alone as a woman either. So stay away from gathering points, like the train station and the bus station etc. Make sure to be in company of someone.

Safest place ever I could imagine. I am from here and I’m outside at night pretty often and there is a lot of presence by police etc so I always feel protected and safe. The only thing u should do is pay attention to your drinks when u go out.

Schönbrunn is a small village with many older and sometimes curious people. There can be many animals in the woods during Night. So that’s on you if you want to take the risk of Meeting them. Besides that it’s all Safe :)

Bonn is a small, very studenty and pretty much safe city as at day so as at night. I feel myself pretty much okay going alone at night. There are night buses going every hour until 2-3 o’clock, and more often in the weekends (like every hour).

Buxtehude is a pretty little town and save to travel to. Some electronic scooters get stolen and there are a few homeless people in town, but other than that there is nothing to crazy going on here in this area.

About me
I am an international student in Marburg,Germany. When I have time, I like to explore new sights, usually on weekends because weekdays I'm at Uni and then in library busy studying. I'm an ambivert so I tend to be really chatty at the right time with right companions. I like reading Sci-fi novels. My hobbies are drawing, claying, puzzling and most of the time reading. I love to take a stroll in new cities and lost myself occasionally. I am a curious person who has a big appetite about almost everything in our world. Like to meet new people and learn their perspective about different things.
