Erlangen is a Student City and is very Safe, people drive around on their bikes or take walks at night late into the morning hours without any concerns. People are very young but almost all of them academics which reflects in the clean and respectful environment.

About me

I live in Germany with my girlfriend and her kids. I work as an assistant for people with handicaps, teach a bit french and study psychology :) I love discovering new activities, places and people. Me and my girlfriend have a plan of buying a van and convert it to travel and sleep in it. If any of you have experiences and/or recommandations about it, I would be happy to hear!
