A very safe city with small-town vibes. Locals will greet you in the park, not in the center. We've got a lovely center with hospitality and shops, but there's a lot of forest and greenery in the area as well. Locals will step up if you're being bothered by someone.

Apeldoorn is a safe town. In the weekend lots of single woman go out late, and ride home on the bike alone. You can walk in the wouds alone as a woman without any danger. It is a woman friendly town.

About me

Hello there☀️ My name is Valérie and I’m someone who loves see the world and meet new people (I’d say that’s pretty obvious using this app😊). My interests/hobbies are cooking, baking, reading, figure skating, drawing, painting, reading romantasy books and spending time outdoors with my dog and family. I love to do yoga, zumba (also dancing in general) and (reformer) pilates classes, at home or at a class. Why have I come to this app? I’ve recently finished high school (gymnasium) and have decided not to further my formal education in the foreseeable future. The school system (perhaps the environment of my school in particular) had high standards and expectations and made me very tired. There was barely any room for creativity, personal development nor spirituality: all things that have become more important to me over the years. And I missed that a lot at school. So I realised going forth with that would not be the way to go for me, at least not for now. I’m still figuring out what I want to do in this new chapter and have always wanted to travel more. So that’s why I’m here☺️ I’d love to explore starting something of my own, but I’m not sure what that would look like yet. I believe that travelling will primarily help me find new joy and new experiences, which is what I want more of in my life right now💛

About me

Hi everyone! I am Fleur and I am 27 years old from the Netherlands. I am looking forward to travel to south east Asia starting in July and see where the journey takes me. I have solo travelled to Ghana an Tanzania before and recommend them both to everyone! Also visited my friend her family in Brazil which was amazing and met many international students why studying in the United States. I love a good mixture of exploring nature, cities, nightlife and beaches while also learning about different cultures and connecting with locals. Excited to see where the journey will take me and looking forward to meet some of you :)
