How safe is Wageningen for women?

Super safe student city! I've always felt safe and never had a negative experience in the five years I lived here, no harrassment, stealing, etc. Just watch your bike if you have one, those sometimes get stolen.

About me

Hello, I am Esther :) I am always in for - a good conversation - an urban exploration including visiting lots of parks, bookstores and viewpoins - jam session - having some time to read my book - spending time in a cafe on my own or with friends drinking coffee (daytime) or beer (evening/night). I would say that I live by the saying that the best things in life happen unexpectedly and (solo) traveling really proved that :) Feel free to send a message if you have any questions about NL or just feel like talking :)
