Berlin, Solo travel
I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

Especially during Oktoberfest, it was very fun, very warm and people are really friendly. For stay, I stayed in a&a hostel, that's very shitty, they charge you for towel, water etc. I won't recommend that. For Food, prefer going to bars with local

It is very quiet, even at night there aren't many people around and there are no homeless people or people using drugs. The center is well lit and there are taxis with the vrn flexline app, which is very good and safe.

I generally feel rather safe in Hamburg during the day. In the evenings, especially in crowded places like the main train station, I feel rather unsafe. I usually carry something like pepper spray with me to feel safer.

It’s safe eventhough there might be a lot of drunk and weird people around, but they usually don’t get close to you. Definitely make sure you’re not out alone at night because the streets are usually really empty

Sulingen
Sulingen is a small town like one hour south of Bremen, nothing special but my safe space and home. Not a lot of tourists but really friendly people. Maybe not a dream destination so lets plan a trip somewhere cool😉

Bonn
i absolutely love it here. nice people, cozy environment and always help around. Bonn is small and cute, as a person of colour I've surely experienced some microaggressions but it's definitely not as bad as the bigger neighboring cities like Düsseldorf and Cologne (these are that bad either, just a comparison)
