About me

Hi everyone! I’m Sophie, I’m 20 and I live in Italy. I’m currently on my gap year. I love to travel, explore, learn about new cultures and experience them. I really like to try out new cuisines, go on adventures, or even just stroll through a city. I enjoy going to museums and visiting, as well as doing sports and going to the beach. I’m looking for someone to go on adventures with, and I really want to make new friends and connect with them while travelling together. So let’s get on an airplane and overcome our limits together!☀️

Is Portugal safe for women?

Lisbon

during the day it’s pretty safe but at night it’s not safe especially if you’re a lady. in the center of the city there’s a lot of people trying to sell you drugs or trying to steal your phones and wallets

Porto

A very safe town. Lots of English spoken, very little crime outside of pickpocketing and rustling in cars. Safe for women, generally, there are lots of women out walking between bars and restaurants, even late at night (until midnight typically, later in the summer months).
