What a beautiful city to visit in summertime:) There are some many things to do here: visit Miniatur Wunderland (remember to booked the ticket in advance), the Elb river, Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, the Bunker, Elbtunnel, two Bundesliga teams (St.Pauli and HSV), and so many more:) Small tips: you can take some of the ferries for free, instead of paying for the tourist ships, check online in advance! I recommend to stay more than four days here, including weekends since there are markets...

Berlin was really beautiful. I always heard that the city is lame or boring but I had so much fun there, I traveled with one friend and it was very safe!! People are so collaborative and help a lot. However, honestly, I felt minor racism, but it was all amazing!

Bremen 2025: great beer and coffee, friendly climbing gym, beautiful architecture and perfect routes for running. Warm days, relaxed pace, cosy cafés and an easy city to enjoy actively outside Summer.

I can speak especially for the inner city: Nothing ever happened in ten years. I have heard, that near the train station one could get drugs during the night, which means you might meet a few unpleasant people. Also the park next to the train station has a bad reputation as for homeless people are sleeping there. Also drunk people like to hang there during the late hours. However one some days it is just empty.

Safe city to explore during the day and at night. Try to aoid "Kesselbrink" late at night and take a friend with you when you are in the area around the main train station. Overall a safe city to visit.

It’s a safe city, with some criminal minds and people living here. It got worse over the last years. Before it was super safe. Now sometimes you have to be cautious about the people around you. But it’s still an 8 out of 10

About me
So, what’s there to know about me? I’m an architect, queer, vegetarian, feminist, neurospicy (AuDHD) and am very clumsy. I don’t take myself too seriously, am a bit of a goofball and enjoy to joke around with friends. I love being on the go without having much of a plan, just see where it takes me. I’ve traveled by myself or with friends quite a bit already but there’s still many places I want to go. When traveling, the most important part for me is to get to know the culture and people of the country and really be able to appreciate its beauty through also seeing/experiencing the challenges. No glorification, just the day to day live of ordinary people and their stories.

About me
I’m currently living in Trier (close to the border with Luxembourg, Belgium and France) with my husband Pierre and our cat Mirabelle. 🐈⬛ The next big cities are Saarbrücken and Cologne. I’m German, French and Peruvian. I studied to become a German teacher but I don’t do that at the moment. 😅 I’m a very open, curious, social and warm person. My life goal: learn as many languages and see as many countries as possible. 😊 I love singing, dancing, playing volleyball, cooking, board games, traveling and hanging out with friends. But I also like just to chill and play video games with my husband Pierre.
