Posted: August 21, 2024Experienced: February, 2024I loved Bordeaux, I went on a wine tour and took a train to the sea. I also went on a bicycle tour. Bordeaux is 100% pedestrian friendly and it's beautiful.

At night, it's important to be cautious about the places and neighborhoods you visit; it's better not to stray too far from the downtown streets when you're a woman alone. Otherwise, during the day, it's a very pleasant city to visit.
Posted: August 19, 2024Compared to other French cities I’ve only been catcalled once and except two areas around the train station and Les Capucins, i feel safe at night. I feel very good about people in my city. A lot of queer people and safe places to hang out.

I'm an adventurous and curious person. I love traveling, hiking, meeting people... I also enjoy spending time in the nature, admiring beautiful landscapes. I'm french but I speak English and Spanish. I hope to meet here people to talk about experiences, travel projects, other cultures...

Hello, fellow lady travellers! I'm Marion, and I'm originally from Bordeaux but I've only moved back here a few years ago. I work in graphic design at the moment, though I'm always looking for opportunities in other creative jobs! I loveee travelling to bigger cities, and then also to more remote areas to go on hikes. Travelling alone is something I enjoy, it's not the same experience as travelling with friends and it really allows to meet lots of wonderful people, and live like a local. :)

Recently quit a job with a toxic boss who tied to make me feel like my role was small and insignificant. So instead, I’m gonna be taking a grand Europe trip while everything falls apart in my department because I left. Hope to meet some new friends to explore the cities or grab a bite to eat.
