I traveled around Italy, Hungary, and then I went to Vienna. I felt safe in Italy, depending on the city where I was. Venice was certainly charming and I felt safe there. In Milan, I didn't feel safe alone at all, and also witnessed a considerable amount of crime. In Hungary, I felt safe during the day, although the nights could become a bit more intimidating. I had a few problems, but I would be happy to go back there alone. Vienna was definitely the safest place! Everyone was so nice - I...

I spent 9 weeks in Europe. The only trip I had booked was a 15-day cruise from Venice to Dubrovnik, and I spent the rest of my time in Airbnb accommodations in Venice, Korcula, Split, Ljubljana, by Lake Bled, and in Zagreb. I went on 3-day trips to Postojna caves, Plitvice Lakes, and one gorge (I don't remember the name, but it was amazing). I didn't have any problems. I booked accommodations before leaving, did not encounter any obstacles, felt very safe, and had a great time. 9 weeks was...

About me
Hi! I'm Alice Maia, 🌊I've lived in Genova all my life and I love meeting new people. I will gladly chaperone you around🚶🏻♀️whenever I'm available, give indications and eventually host🛌🏻 if it's possible for me and my family. I really enjoy meeting new people from all around the world and chatting💬 about literally everything. Also I have cats! Putting it here because I keep forgetting people I host might be allergic😅 🎯I love travelling solo, although I don't often get the chance. I'm very interested in knowing how other people experience life, I like to know what you think of my culture and my city, and I will probably ask a lot about yours too, if you agree to! Basically I love sharing stories, ideas and everything else!🗣️ I feel like travelling and making friends should be for everyone, so feel free to contact me if you have any particular concern (e.g. you have a disability, are part of a minority and are concerned about your safety etc) Among other things, here's a few of my interests! - I study Environmental Sciences🌍🌎🌏 - I'm a climate justice activist📢 - I love volunteering as a Scout Leader in one of our local groups⚜️ I've been a scout all my life since I was 8 and I love this world, so if we share this experience let's talk about it! I know it can be very different being a scout around the world:) Other things that might be interesting: - I try to live as sustainably as possible, including following a vegetarian or vegan diet🧆 - I have a chronic illness that means my energy levels can vary a lot from one day to the other, so I'll need to plan anything carefully to be sure I can make it through the day🔋 - I'm neurodivergent🧠 - I'm all about inclusion and accessibility, so feel free to tell me about any of your needs or boundaries!🫂
