Months ago I travelled solo to Athena in Greece. It was worth it. Food, environment, attraction even people there are really kind. So far it's best city or country I have travelled. Athen stole my heart🥰

I felt pretty safe during both the night and day. Only next to the Akropolis area on the built-up neighborhood I saw few creeps but they did not come to me and my friend. Also be careful about thieves

Athens is the City of Greece , as all big cities has some parts that is better to not walk alone in the night , during the day its okay since its crowded, but in any case you should mind your personal belongings as in evry city you travel

It’s pretty safe but some areas are filled with sketchy people, junkies, thieves, pervs, stalkers. But like anywhere else, if you have basic survival skills you won’t get robbed and you’ll notice the danger before it’s too late. Situational awareness and quick thinking. Because even in the safe / chill areas, you might get unlucky and stumble upon a perv/stalker which can lead to harassment. If you can’t avoid the areas make sure to be careful or have company

About me
Hiiiii, I’m a singer-songwriter based in Athens.🌸 I’m trying to follow my dreams and release my album. I wrote a book and an album about a guy I only went on two dates with.🫠 I’ve created an automatic writing game and I play it in different venues. I’ve learned Greek Sign Language and I sing covers online while signing in Greek Sign Language at the same time. One of my dreams is to travel the world. I don’t have the financial means to do that right now. However, I can host up to two people here for as long as you like, as long as you contribute to the supermarket expenses. Times are hard, but I’m happy that we can still connect.

About me
Hi, I am Andriana and I am 18 years old. I finally finished school and now I am ready to explore the beauty of every country! I love meeting new friends and to discover new hidden places around the word (and of course to capture them in my old camera). Now that I finished school, I am learning german in my university (of phycology). Thus, I really really want to go to Germany or Austria or Switzerland in order to practice my german. If anyone lives in these countries, I really want to chat with you so as to meet you in the future☺️
