HIDDEN GEM. Not touristy and so beautifull (the houses omg), the experience was more intense bcs of that. I was there when Zunftmarkt was, so nice and magical people were so friendly. Best random decision ever <3

Berlin, Family travel
My mom and I went to Berlin for a few days, stayed in a cheap hostel and rode the underground train into the city everyday. This was a great opportunity to save some money. In Berlin we walked around seeing all the sights. We had a great time together!

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.

Hamburg, Group travel
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.

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!

Frankfurt
Frankfurt is mostly a safe city. Just in certain areas is not so safe to be there alone. You don’t get a good feeling as a woman. In General its safe enough to Travel alone in this city

Personally I felt save every time I was in Freiburg. But during nights I would recommend to be at least with somebody else as Long as you are Not in the Main Town. Moreover I love Freiburg, the people are open minded and very friendly:)

Karlsruhe
I personally feel very safe in Karlsruhe. I’m comfortable walking around on my own, using public transport and being outside alone, even late at night. I often go running along the Alb after dark and have always felt completely comfortable there. Of course, normal awareness is always a good idea, just as it would be in any city. But overall, Karlsruhe feels relaxed, safe and easy to get around. As a woman, I rarely think twice about going somewhere alone, and I would definitely consider it a...

Cologne
Mostly safe but it is a big city (at least for Germany) and therefore we have crimes. The area in the inner city (Ringe) for example has lots of fights on the weekends due to drunk people. There are some parts of the city with higher crime rates for example parts of Kalk or Vingst or Kölnberg. I have lived in Kalk since 2013 so it is not too bad in my opinion but I had friends question my choice at times, also Ebertplatz is not the most crime free area

Smaller village where I never saw anything happen. It’s a small town near by Munich so not a lot of tourism happening there. No bars and clubs so it’s a quit village with an train station to travel to Munich

Generally very safe, people tend to be very closed but if you ask for help usually they are very open. Younger people are more open for diversity and a chat. Very occasionally some racist comments but less is the city than in urban areas.

About me
Hi, I’m Angélique from Karlsruhe, Germany. 😊 I’m a funeral director, a job that might sound unusual, but one that I truly love. I’m an open-minded, warm and straightforward person with a good sense of humor. I love sports and being active, traveling, discovering new places, good food, spontaneous little adventures – and especially the sea. Unfortunately, Karlsruhe is pretty far from the ocean, so I guess I just have to travel. 😄🌊 I’d also really love to discover more of Northern Europe. Sweden, Finland and Denmark are high on my list, and I thought Travel Ladies might be a great way to start exploring them. And then… let’s see where the journey takes me. ✈️ I live with my 18-year-old son and our dog Lucky, who is very much part of the family. 🐾 I’d love to connect with women from different countries, travel together, visit each other or simply share some good moments along the way. If I’m hosting, I can currently offer a couch in my bedroom for one female traveler. It’s a shared space rather than a private room, and of course I’ll always be upfront about that. 😊
