You can walk everywhere day and night, just be awakening of your suroundings. Like there is sometimes some crime but I am never scared to walk alone somewhere. The place I put unsafe for the night is where there is a asylum seekers' center. Sometimes there are fights or a robbery

About me

Hi my name is Patricia and I am 40 years old, feeling like forever 29. I have a 13 year old son and a husband. Both no fan of travelling. I really don't understand. But now my son is more independent I sometimes treat myself to solo getaways or wit a friend or family member. I wanna see more of the world. I am a real introvert what makes it difficult sometimes to meet new people, but more easy when the new person to meet is a extravert :D. I am obsessed with reading so I do that a lot and I love our rescue dog Ollie. Not a very good writer myself so if you wanna ask me something ask away!
