About Me
Hi everyone! I'm Fara, a 24 y old medical student from Antwerp. Next year, I'll be doing my internship in Cuba, but I'd like to practice my Spanish a bit before I go. This is why I'm going to Spain in September and starting my traveling in Mallorca. It would be great if I could stay somewhere for a few days before I find a workaway. Am definitely willing to help around the house, cook you a homemade meal, or bake you your favorite dessert! I'm a big reader, nature lover, do yoga, and like to do things with friends 😊

About Me
Hey! My name is Fabienne Schmidt, I'm 23 and currently doing my masters in Architecture in Antwerp. I joined this community because I have been using couchsurfing for so many years but only in Europe. After my exchange in Singapore I wanted to see more of Asia, so I decided to solo travel for a few months on a budget. And because Asia isn't Europa (safety wise) and I'm still a broke student (especially after living in Singapore for 4 months hahaha) I joined the Travel Ladies community. I also didn't wanted to give my mom a heart attack everytime she sees me sleeping at a different man's house (better to be safe than sorry). If there is one thing I love to do it's dancing and cooking and especially both at the same time! I can always go for a nice evening stroll or play board games at home or in a café. I love to share my experience with others or have a good laugh about all the crazy stories that I've gathered over the years whilst traveling. So lots to talk about or if you prefer we can also sit in silence. Xxx

Solo travel experience
I always felt very safe in Antwerp during the day but also at night. There is a lot to do a lot of cute cafés, cool museums and also a lot of political events happening all the time. It rains a lot there tho and it is a very windy city as well. The people I have met were all very friendly and spoke great English. A lot of men kept winking at me or whistling at me but never anything more.

Solo travel experience
I visited Antwerp in September, which was a good choice as the weather was excellent for sightseeing: 20°C and the city itself lends itself to walking. If you only speak English, be prepared for some inconveniences as locals (understandably) might not be able to communicate in that language. Regarding the most important bit: I felt safe in the city and in my hotel, no one bothered me. I really recommend getting the Antwerp pass, as most museums are included in that and they have a great selection in the area and the price is absolutely fair. The city has amazing food, I recommend visiting the chocolate shops and getting waffles from street vendors-much cheaper and even better tasting! The prices can be higher then some other places in Europe, especially in restaurants so I recommend checking your options before going. Otherwise you will not spend too much money on activities if you buy the pass, so you can save money there. I do have to warn you, that the hotel, flights, food, and souvenirs may add up but it's worth it:)) This was my first solo trip, I loved the experience and I gained valuable insight during this short holiday!
