Berlin, Solo travel
I felt safe during my time and I currently live and study here, but I wouldn’t recommend Berlin to anyone who isn’t really big on clubbing and partying because otherwise it’s a boring city and the weather doesn’t help

This little city was really charming. I really liked the market and the heart warming cakes. I’ve been welcomed freely by a woman thanks to “Couchsurfing” who was used to travel alone too. I was surprised by her big heart. We talked a lot that night, she gave me confidence with only few words. She prepared me food in advance and offered me a lunch for the next day (even if I was leaving this exact day). She even payed the drink… her kindness was melting my heart. I asked her why did she do all those things for me, and she answered “If only you could know what people gave to me, I have to return the favour.”

It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Berlin is generally a safe city. Be sure to understand how to identify street scams and protect yourself from pickpockets. Don't engage with dumb drunks. At night, on the subway or bus, sit in the front behind the driver/conductor.

I've never had any issues in Bochum and I feel like as long as you're reasonable you should be safe. Obviously there is the local creeps, but theres one basically everywhere. I feel like as long as you're comfortable and present confidently you should be fine.

I’ve not been here for very long, but I always feel safe walking around no matter the time of day or night. It does get very quiet at night though surprisingly for a college city. In my defense, I don’t go out to bars often, and I’ve not been in the city center very often lately but overall I feel safe!

Hey, my name is Hannah and I often travel alone. Often without a plan or accommodation, which is why I've often found myself in difficult situations, which is why I really like this app. I am a very spontaneous and open person who is up for anything if it sounds exciting or funny. I often travel in Germany with the Deutschland Ticket and go on city trips but also like to go hiking or to festivals. Also I'm interested in photography and learning russian.

About me
I am an international student in Marburg,Germany. When I have time, I like to explore new sights, usually on weekends because weekdays I'm at Uni and then in library busy studying. I'm an ambivert so I tend to be really chatty at the right time with right companions. I like reading Sci-fi novels. My hobbies are drawing, claying, puzzling and most of the time reading. I love to take a stroll in new cities and lost myself occasionally. I am a curious person who has a big appetite about almost everything in our world. Like to meet new people and learn their perspective about different things.

I send much love all around you ❤️ ps: if you don't support palestine we will not be friends 🙃
