Dear Travel Ladies, my trip to Breda was due to school conference, but in my free time I got to explore the beautiful places in the city itself. It was a very cozy experience, there weren't many people and the architecture of the city looked very nice

🇳🇱 My First Solo Trip in Europe: The Netherlands ✨ I’d like to begin posting here by sharing my very first solo trip in Europe, the Netherlands. It had been on my bucket list since I was a child, especially because I grew up learning about Dutch history. Now that I’m living in Poland, I finally dared myself to go. I thought solo travel would be scary, but it turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. My journey started with an afternoon FlixBus from Wrocław to...

It was very cold bcs i visited on february but it wasnt the worst point. You can smell the 🌿 everywhere. But except this, it was funny. And the second was the fees were to heavy like it was so expensive for food etc.

Lots of crime happens all the time, mostly at night tho. I would at all times avoid going to the Rivierenwijk as that is the most dangerous street here. People in this city aren't very friendly or welcoming either, you won't see someone on the street smiling at you

I have gone out at night for my walks. Sometimes going to the city centre for a good time. I didn’t feel unsafe and didn’t encounter anyone creepy. People are generally friendly and helpful. Always looking for a good time

I have lived here almost my whole life and nothing has happened since. The people are generous and there are many supermarkets for such a small town! The train station is nearby and even at night there are not many people, at daytime its probably one of the safest places and at night its always pretty quiet outside, ofcourse you do have to look out for weird or creepy people, but those aren't really there most of the time.

Very cozy, village like city, very active nightlife, especially on thursdays, weekend nightlife may be a bit more sketchy, lots of internationals so most speak English extremely well. Only ever heard bad things about Noorderplantsoen at night, but have never experienced anything unsafe when I cycled through it (also at night a few times.

About me
Hey hey! I'm Asmin! It's difficult to introduce myself in these few sentences, but what I can say is that I'm a daydreamer, friendly and sensible person and according to my friends I am always an amusing, caring, and alive and kicking person. I was an Erasmus student in Warsaw almost 6 years ago and in 2016 summer I worked in NJ, the USA by work and travel program, I finished my bachelor's and masters in psychology. Now I am doing second masters in clinical psychology. I'm here because traveling, meeting new people, discovering new cultures, and trying new things is my lifeblood so to say, and couchsurfing is a brilliant opportunity to achieve these. I was on couchsurfing before. Here is my profile/references: https://archive.ph/eNIEV What I Can Share with Hosts I'm a petsitter I can help you out with your furry babies. I can cook Turkish foods, we can talk about psychology and I can share my memories and experiences that I gained through my travels and anything that I feel that I know well. I can teach you some Turkish folk dance :) Amazing Things I’ve Done I left all the things and I decided to live in Poland without knowing any Polish and anyone. Well, i tried my best! Scuba diving! You will be addicted to underwater after meeting the wonderful world. It is awesome! I tread the boards 1 musical and 1 play in front of more than 200 people. I climbed the highest point of the Tatra Mountains in Zakopane aannd I didn't break my bones. It is an amazing thing for such a clumsy person like me. I hitchhiked around Europe. Oslo to Stockholm, Warsaw to Vienna, and so on. Totally 5215 km btw October '15- May'16. I attended EQC'16 (European Quidditch Cup) in Italy in April 2016. ( I broke my ribs during the games but I don't regret it. It was an amazing weekend!)
