Munich, Group travel
This was my first trip to Munich, and although it was a short one, I really enjoyed it. We mostly explored the beautiful old town, wandered through the city center, and took in the atmosphere. My favorite spot was definitely the Eisbach. It was the perfect place to cool off in the hot weather, even though the water was incredibly cold! I didn’t get to see everything this time, but it definitely made me want to come back and explore more.

Black Forest, Group travel
With a fellow travel lady, I went backpacking through the Black Forest. We walked a total of 160kms from Forbach to the Feldberg. We spent the nights either in trekking camps, in campsites or on farms. The landscapes were beautiful, we came across many lakes such as Herrenwiesensee, Titisee and Mathisleweiher (my favourite!). Overall, we felt very safe and met lots of lovely, mostly elderly people encouraging us to finish this eight day hike. If you like spending time outdoors, I highly...

Berlin, Solo travel
Perfect for people seeing something intense and special experience. Most attractive city in Germany absolutely but as a solo traveler, It would be better to take care yourself on nighttime especially.

I went to Bonn to visit a friend of mine and it was an amazing experience. The river was so nearby and with the train Cologne was only an hour. I also liked Koblenz and I recommend to everyone. Just go and explore

Berlin was fun. We didn’t get in to Berghain (lol) but we did our own tour of the city and the vibes were great. Public transportation is very easy and convenient. Very diverse food options. Great rave venues - I would love to go back and let loose again!

I visited Berlin at the beginning of April and it was so so nice! It is very easy to meet new people, the international setting allows you to meet people from all around the world. I really enjoyed going to a rave and I’m sure I’ll be coming back for more!!

Mittenwald, Solo travel
Mittenwald is a place out of dreams. At every bend in the road, you can see the Karwendel Mountains staring down at you, and I kept having this feeling of déjà vu, like I had seen this place somewhere before. Maybe it was in some childhood calendar or an old photograph where I was first mesmerized by the Alps. It felt like I was stepping into a memory I had carried for years without even realizing it. It was a very emotional trip. I ended up climbing Hoher Kranzberg, and as someone who isn’t...

Germany, Solo travel
Experienced a small village local life by staying with a friend, from February to April. Was told of the 'harshness/coldness' of German strangers, never encountered that, I was warmly welcomed and engaged with everywhere I went - both small towns and big cities. I will never look at my country‘s bread the same, we‘re doing something seriously wrong. Wish I could ship bulk laugen brotchen home. Scenery is stunning, sort of comforting landscape everywhere, and I didn’t even see Autumn. Love the...

Berlin
I live in a calm neighbourhood next to a police station so its pretty safe around here. The connection to the center is very good but in the center and some other parts of Berlin you need to be more careful since the crimerate is higher there
Posted: August 25, 2026Wiesbaden
I feel mostly safe around the city, even when it gets late and dark outside. Sometimes there are creeps at the main train station Hbf and Luisenplatz or Wilhelmstraße (bus stations) but they mostly ignore you. There’s mostly light everywhere and the people are very friendly :)

I would say it is a pretty safe town. I usually feel pretty safe, except maybe when I'm alone at the train station at night, but also there I never made really bad experiences. Besides some creepy/weird men as there are unfortunately everywhere. The only thing is that there is a lot of bicycle thieves happening.

In general, the city is very safe and the crime rate is low. At night you just have to be careful, especially around the train station in Oberstein and in Idar and Oberstein in all the small, narrow roads. Just stay where all the people are after dark, like on the main roads and in the pedestrian zone and you are fine

Literally nothing ever happens here, except for the occasional bike thief. You can leave your car unlocked at night and don't have to worry. Just keep out of the woods after dark because of the wild boars, they are nothing you want to meet, especially moms with their kids.
Posted: August 21, 2026Tirschenreuth
The place is close to the border to Czech, so there are a few drug offences, but you don't have to be afraid for yourself, especially as a woman. There are no big groups of men who can spread fear and when they do, they chill all at their apartments and gamble on their PS4

Hello everyone, I used to be active on Couchsurfing and had many great experiences. It has changed too much so I'm trying out this app. I'd say I'm easy going and open minded. I like to travel and change perspectives. If you're around my city, let me know and I will check if I have time to host you or hangout. Always excited to make new friends! Cheers! P.s.: I live in a shared apartment with another woman. If I host you, you and I will be sleeping in the same room. I have a second mattress (140x200cm) for the floor on which two people can sleep on. Bathroom and kitchen are shared with my flatmate who is super nice!
