Germany, Solo travel

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, Group travel

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!!

Ravensburg

Ravensburg is a very safe city. Be a little bit more cautious at night in the area of the train station if you are on your own. Don‘t give your phone away to strangers in that area, it is possible that it will be stolen.

Dresden

Beside the night you can stay everywhere. In my opinion, it is most common for the area "Neustadt" 🍻🍾🚨for being loud and having an alcoholic scene. By the way, the "large garden" (= Großer Garten) is a really great place to unwind. ☀️

Merzig

Small town with lots of elderly people and families living here. A rural, cozy vibe overall. Just the train stations can be "accompanied" by weird people, but not so often. Accomodating if you want to travel alone, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community or are younger

Munich

Munich is one of the safest cities I've been in. I grew up here and lived in different areas and luckily never had something happen to me. If possible I try to avoid being outside around Central Station at night.

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.
