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...

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. 💕

Stockholm is very safe during the day and night. No need to worry about anything. Certain kommun like Kista have become unsafe recently. But otherwise you are good. Avoid those regions at night. You will enjoy Stockholm.

Sweden and Stockholm in overall is very safe. A big city so be mindful during nights but I feel very safe here. I walk alone all the time and run during nights. I have never been cat called in Sweden.

About me
Curious, grounded, and active. I love nature and movement — whether that’s a long walk, hiking, trailrunninga, climbing (bouldering or lead), training session, coffee, or a shared meal. I value deep conversations but also silence; I have a great sense of humor, and mostly looking bright fully on the world. Looking to meet like-minded people to explore places, ideas, and everyday moments together.
