Freiburg im Breisgau, Solo travel
This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

Especially during Oktoberfest, it was very fun, very warm and people are really friendly. For stay, I stayed in a&a hostel, that's very shitty, they charge you for towel, water etc. I won't recommend that. For Food, prefer going to bars with local

So beautiful City. Nice people. I didn’t saw that much but the nature and some buildings were so pretty. I was here for a concert and it was fantastic. It’s not that big but very charming. Hope to be here again soon.

Jossgrund
Jossgrund is a small village, not a lot going on here. You kinda have to live here or even lived here for longer to truly unterstand some manners and traditions. Safety-Wise, I can only tell you that I walk alone a lot around here, day & night. Since I was 15, when we met with friends in the evenings, I would make my way home in the dark, usually 5-10 minutes walking. We all know most of the people who live here, and usually you cant do anything without anyone seeing or noticing. Can be annoying, but if something happens, help aint far. But since you cant really do anything here besides living in the same place for 90 years, all of that is probably rather irrelevant😂😂

Regensburg
Regensburg is a very safe city. You can walk around both during the day and at night without feeling worried. People are friendly and helpful, and the city has a calm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s also well-organized, clean, and the public transport is reliable. Overall, it’s a great place to live or study because you always feel comfortable and secure.

Munich is a pretty safe city in Germany. Most of the people are really friendly and help you out, if you have any problems. The good thing is that Munich got international and most of the people can speak English.

Öhringen
Öhringen is generally quite alright. I feel safe during the day, but at night you should probably avoid being alone at the train station or in the city park (you might run into jerks and junkies). I can say that apart from stupid comments, nothing bad has ever happened to me here, and neither have my friends.

The area in which I live is on the country side and very save. It is a bit isolated so I mostly use my car to get around. In case also there is public transport at night which can be used safely since there is light
