Having lived here until I was 18 and then on and off since then, I am now 32, I have never had any unsafe experiences and feel very safe cycling around the city at my primary source of transport, I have always walked home alone in the dark and felt very safe also.
Posted: August 13, 2024Sheffield is a friendly, open and safe place to live and explore. I feel extremely comfortable here, especially with my girlfriend, when I go out in the day and at night. As with all cities, the night hours can be a bit more daunting, but I do feel safe here.
Posted: June 24, 2024Sheffield is super safe, I feel confident to walk around my neighbourhood after dark. The city is full of lovely people, including loads of young students so I always feel surrounded by similar aged people to myself.

About Me
Hi 🧚 I’m a fine art graduate from sheffield, Uk! I’m just starting to solo travel but wanting to go on loads of little trips around europe (on a budget) and eventually a longer backpacking trip. I love reading and making art as well as going for food and drinks, exploring culture and museums, and meeting new people 💓🌞🪸

About Me
Hi, I'm a 21 year old looking for some travel companions for the summer of my degree. I'm more of an outdoor activity person than a city break enjoyer, so down for anything which gets you in nature. Big enjoyer of walking, climbing and miscellaneous artistic pursuits. English, so down to swim in any dubious / bad smelling bodies of water. Looking forward to finding some more people!
