Switzerland, Solo travel
Loved Switzerland in September! Transport is on point, very safe and breathtaking views. Restaurants aren't really catered for solo travellers though if you want to try single portions of fondue or raclette (+very expensive).

Increeedible! š¤Æif you like trekkings you need to do! But very expensive. Fun fact, zermatt is a car free city, so you need to arrive there by train. Loved my stay there, will recommended to anyone. It is goo to go on low season, muchchaper, and not as crowdes

I loved everything about St Gallen. I am from Luxembourg so the city and the streets felt very familiar. I enjoyed my time there. The only downside to St Gallen is how expensive everything was. Transport, accommodation and food. Also, entry into some places was very expensive, but to some other places it was very affordable.

I felt extremely safe, one of the few locations where even walking late at night posed no threat. The country is quite expensive, but if youāre staying in a hostel youāll be able to save up and also meet likeminded individuals!

I was going to Zurich alone and I was feeling totally safe. At night I had take a train to Basel at 9pm I easily went to the station and arrived after some hours and I was walking alone very late but I was just feeling safe and relax. The next day I wemt to the Bern and in the same day I came back to Basel and made a late walking in the street. Everything was so nice.

Switzerland is extremely safe. There are some self service shops where you take what you want and leave the money or pay via mobile. Also people tend to leave their entrance doors unlocked. People are polite and helpful.

From my perspective, Basel feels very safe. The streets are calm, public transport is reliable, and I rarely encounter situations that seem risky. I feel comfortable walking around the city at any time.

Very safe overall, especially in the main part of the city. Me personally, I never feel unsafe. You can also walk at evenings/nights. Never witnessed a crime or anything. Just be careful around train stations and keep to yourself.

About me
Hi, Iām Chelandi from South Africa. Travel has become such a meaningful part of my life... In the past few years Iāve lived in Thailand, Switzerland, England and Rwanda, with visits across Europe and North Africa too. I love slow, immersive travel where I can learn the rhythm of a place, share stories and connect deeply with people along the way. Excited to meet fellow travellers who believe the journey is just as important as the destination.
