I mainly went to see the Avicii Experience museum, the plaque in the cemetery and the other places connected to him, but my sister and her friend planned other stuff too, for example the Abba museum. I felt really safe and I loved it there, I want to go back so badly. Highly recommend! We were there in the beginning of April and it was snowing one day and my sister complained about the cold. (I hate warm weather so it was perfect for me there)

I fell in love with cities that I can walk and get lost in. I spent hours getting lost in the narrowest alleys of the Old Town. There’s one alley so slim you can touch both walls at once! As someone who loves craftsmanship, I was fixated on the heavy wooden doors and the ironwork—every corner feels like a lesson in history and preservation.

Stayed in Borlänge during summer and went to a small outdoor restaurant close to the station. Alot of live music during the weeks (tickets needed) but such a great experience and atmosphere. Would love to go back!

I really enjoyed my time in Stockholm at the end of August! ✨ The city is super clean, well connected by public transport ( the metro stations are full of art🤩) and very safe overall (just be cautious around slussen at night). It was my third time in the city and went to Abba museum (very worth it), ice bar, Drottningholm palace, Gamla Stan, Stadhuset and I can recommend everything! Loved Swedish meatballs, cinnamon buns and having fika! If you get a chance to go to Stockholm, you'll not...

It's overall a safe and calm city and I even feel mostly safe while walking alone at night. I feel like people are helpful if you need any help and most people speak English very well, except maybe some of the older people. However, of course always be mindful of your surroundings and take precautions.

Its a small and cozy city dueing the day and mostly safe with maybe a few creepy men at night but nothing to worry about. As long as you arent out in the middle of the night by yourself you will be fine.

Very safe. I walk alone in the middle of the night all the time. We do have some gang related crime, but civilians are seldom harmed, and it is exaggerated in the media. Overwlkz a very safe city where women can walk alone at any hour without worrying.

Jordbro is a little city and it’s safe place. There is a park near by and grill places, it’s a good place for families to have picnic and play ground for children. In summer time, it’s good place and there is also outdoor pool for free in summer.

About me
Hey, I am Sarah, a 20 year old student currently studying and living in Visby on Gotland. I am originally from Germany where I will also be during the summertime between June and August if I am not traveling at that time. I study Sustainable Development in Industrial Management and am very interested in technical things. I also really love and enjoy arts and crafts and really love to try out new things as well. I have always been painting and drawing a lot and have been crafting some decor from time to time. Recently I've tried some crochet and sewing as well. I also like to get to know new people wherever I am and especially enjoy this carefree friendship that just happens when travelling. I love hearing about fun, crazy and dramatic stories and generally enjoy a little gossipping. I also love exploring and seeing new places both by myself and with someone else and I have been to quite some places as well, although I sadly cannot say I am a professional traveller for now. Some dreams of mine include to roadtrip through new Zealand and backpack through Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Some countries I've recently travelled to include Greece, Turkey and Sri Lanka. I would love to meet up or host or stay with you, so feel free to reach out:)
