Rome, Solo travel
I was in Rome on a language course I’ve met a lot of great people. I felt pretty safe there even at night. I’ve heard a lot about pickpockets but thankfully I didn’t had the chance to meet them haha and so did my friends so in my opinion it’s not that common but ofc you need to watch your stuff. The city is very walkable everything is near each other so from one attraction you can walk to another and if not you need to take a bus but busses have their own schedules there so I hope you won’t...

It was my first time traveling there, and I am a black girl who weren’t aware of the racism so it was a bit surprising to me. People didn’t really say much, but their eyes said a lot which made me very uncomfortable and almost broke me couple of times. But as I was traveling with a friend, it kind of made of things a bit better it was during the summer. I still love that might still go back. I was in Rome now that I’m aware aware of things because the city is still beautiful on the culture is...

Very pricey but super pretty and has tasty food. Thwres the Ferrari museum which is very cool, if you're into cars! Supermarkets will be your best bet for food, there are some small cheaper restaurants, around 10€ for 1 main meal

Milan, Couple travel
Milan is an ideal destination for a short city break. The food is delicious, with plenty of great Italian restaurants and cafés. The city is often seen as progressive and supportive of gender equality. However, for a stay longer than a few days, there are not many major tourist attractions compared with some other Italian cities, so it is best suited for a short city break of 2–3 days.

Rome
Roma is a safe city when you visit it the day. There is a lot of people and it's quite touristic. Be careful when you go next to the station Termini with your luggage :) I didn't experience Roma by night but I'm pretty sure that the central zone is safe but you have to be very careful if you are next to Termini station.

Milan is a city that gives you a lot of opportunities in terms of experiences and work wise but generally speaking in the last years safety is becoming an issue. I would riccone d to go out with other people especially late during the night

you have to be careful with pickpockets especially on public transport, at night I advise girls to avoid walking around alone. Especially near the stations (Termini and Tiburtina) I advise not to stop for too long and avoid little crowded places, despite the police I always feel unsafe

I feel safe even walking alone at night. I truly never feel thrilled since I got here so I am very pleasant that Turin makes me feel really safe. Just sometimes I see cars pass at red light or somebody drive fastly but that’s it.

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!🫂
