Borlange, Solo travel
Stayed in Borlänge during summer and went to a small outdoor restaurant close to the station. Alot of live music during the weeks (tickets needed) but such a great experience and atmosphere. Would love to go back!

I really enjoyed my time in Stockholm at the end of August! ✨ The city is super clean, well connected by public transport ( the metro stations are full of art🤩) and very safe overall (just be cautious around slussen at night). It was my third time in the city and went to Abba museum (very worth it), ice bar, Drottningholm palace, Gamla Stan, Stadhuset and I can recommend everything! Loved Swedish meatballs, cinnamon buns and having fika! If you get a chance to go to Stockholm, you'll not regret it 💌

Sweden is a beautiful country. Everyone there was so kind and welcoming. I enjoyed having fika with my family and new friends. The sweets were so good! I was surprised while I was there the sun never faded at night. Felt like a dream. 💕

Very safe for travels, as long as you avoid certain neighbourhoods (Rinkeby, etc). Transport is very reliable, people are reserved but nice, everybody speaks English. PAYMENTS TO EVERYTHING ARE BY CARD ONLY, very few places accept cash.

i grew up here it’s pretty safe it’s just unfortunate that the crime rates have gone up it’s still really safe it’s mostly just a forest country but if you’re unlucky you can end up at the wrong place at the wrong time, it doesn’t happen often tho, it’s organised crimes not unplanned against civilians.

It’s pretty good. There’s been a bit of a rising level of gang related crime, but I wouldn’t say it’s making the streets less safe for normal people. Decent streetsmarts is definitely good if you plan to go out late or live a bit crazy, but otherwise I’d say the city is completely fine.

About me
Hey! I just graduated the so called “gymnasium” (high school isch I think?) this spring and I want to travel a bit and try different things for a while, so this app seemed perfect for me. I love all things creative; I’m a cosplayer, I draw and I write. I’m currently working at a restaurant (love it there honestly) but I’m trying to find a job as a decor maker (idk if that’s what it’s called in English). Although I might decide to study psychology or something of the likes this coming spring. I also love languages. I only speak English and Swedish fluently but I did study Japanese and Arabic on duolingo for a while, although most is forgotten. I’m also quite nerdy. I love the Magnus archives, Voltron, shera, marauders, ttrpg and a bunch more! Coming trip: Venice Carnival!!
