Really safe. I personally never witnessed any Creme. I feel as safe as i can feel. Its also rallye safe for LGBTQAI+ people. In one year you hear about 2 to 3 shocking news (a gay bar was destroyed and some kids attacked euch other with knives).

Rostock is a small town which is pretty divided into two parts… inside circle of quarters has higher living standard, therefore higher class people, therefore less criminality than the outside quarters.

About me

I am a 47 yr old Kiwi who has transplanted herself all the way over to the otherside of the world (Germany). I like to solo travel, where my kiwi personality helps me to connect with almost anyone. I love any kind of weather, I like to say, "there's always something exciting to do, come rain, hail, sun or storm".
