Having lived in Almere almost my whole life, I can say I have never felt unsafe in the daytime. In the nighttime, it depends on the area. Around shopping areas with bars sometimes homeless and/or druk people hang out, which makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. I've not seen this happen in residential areas yet. The crime rate seems to be going up in Almere, but I haven't heard of anyone I know being affected by it. The public transport in Almere and the Netherlands in general has always felt very safe to me.

About Me

Hi, my name is Caitlin (27) I am traveling bali from march 25th to april 20th at least, I might extend my stay until end of may.🌺 I have been to Curaçao, solo traveling in december 2024 which made me realize there is no reason for me to put on hold, my dreams of being in nature, sunshine and new sceneries way more often. 🐚🪸🌴 Since I have indonesian roots, I’d like to connect to my genes and history when traveling bali.🌀 I love love love all things related to creativity, spirituality/healing and play!☯️ I write a lot of poetry, like to paint and draw and I dance and sing all the time. I have been getting into making beats a little bit recently too🥰🎶 Since I am a huge risk taker and dreamer by default, I am doing my bali travel with very little budget. This is why I am definitely looking for couch hosts and volunteering places that offer accommodation and/or food☺️
