A rather small city and safe overall. Never really felt unsafe! Everyone is nice and I would definitely say it’s safe for solo travelers. Small centre and calm areas and well-lit streets everywhere + low crime rates

Hey! My name is Kristina and I'm 19 years old. I live in Sweden and I love nature. I never travelled alone but I've been to countries with my family. Now that I'm an adult I wanna solo travel more. I'm told I'm kind and caring and adventureous. I love exploring and looking at everything. I'm a very positive person and I am talkative when I find something interesting.
