Zermatt, Solo travel
Increeedible! 🤯if 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

St. Gallen, Group travel
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 you’re staying in a hostel you’ll be able to save up and also meet likeminded individuals!

Basel
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.

I’ve walked around at night and never anything happened but there is obviously some crime! Depending on which place you are in lucerne I often don’t lock my house never anything happens so you can feel safe here

About me
Hi my lovely travel girlies 🩷 I’m new on this app and still trying to figure out how everything works. I’m a bit shy with things like this, so I’m not even sure if I’m doing it right, but I wanted to give it a try and see where it takes me 🙈. I’m on a gap year after finishing high school in Switzerland and thought it would be fun to meet new people, make friends and maybe plan a little adventure together. I’d really love to do a weekend getaway to Paris, drink coffee, walk through cute streets and pretend we’re the main characters for a moment. But I’m also totally open to other ideas and different destinations if you have something in mind. Always happy to chat, plan something or just get to know new girlies on here 💕
