I fell in love with rome. It was good the locals were really friendly and my social anxiety kind of vanished. I just stayed there for one weekend. But would definitely go back for a longer time. Pizza was amazing haha

Your eyes and soul will definitely be filled with art. But your stomach will be full too. The food is delicious and cheap, and everywhere you look you can see a piece of art. The people are cheerful, and that will make you feel happy as well. Wine tastings in Tuscany, evening street entertainment in Florence, unique museums, gelato and pasta will make you feel truly alive. Yes, this is a place for me where I can say, ‘Yes, I’m truly living this life

Milan, Solo travel
The cuisine was amazing and I definitely want to travel again to Italy once again...From my experience Milan is a very walkable city and you rarely need to take public transport. I went to Milan mid January, so there weren't that many people. I was able to safely solo travel around the city both at day and night time. I was quite scared to walk alone at night because I heard not so great experiences from past travelers, but since it wasn't summer season the streets were empty at night.

Turin is pretty safe in the city centre, especially for tourists. At night, definitely avoid the suburban area or any less trafficked street, and you'll be safe. There's an increasing number of homeless approaching and, though some are actually harmless, avoid stopping as others are not.

Compared with a few years ago, when the city was notorious for its high crime rates, the situation has improved somewhat thanks to the growth of tourism. That said, there are still certain areas where it’s best to be cautious, such as the area around the central station and Corso Umberto, especially at night. In general, it’s advisable to keep a close eye on your personal belongings and remain aware of the items you’re carrying. Pickpocketing is not uncommon, and phones or wallets can...

always check on your things, especially on subways and popular areas. be extra careful. Milan isn’t safe at all as a city, they always hjt when you next expect it. Never let your guard down around those areas!

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!🫂
