Rome, Family travel
I absolutely loved Rome! There is obviously so much history and so much culture to explore. It can be very touristy, but it is so worth it for the experience of actually being in the Coliseum or the Roman Forum.

Italy, Solo travel
I visited Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence and Bologna July was brutally hot I ate way too much pizza and pasta Almost every morning started with a glass of wine It was amazing The only thing I regret? I mostly connected with people who spoke my language instead of locals Next time, I’m not making that mistake

Beautiful city with so many amazing historical sites. Very crowded in many places but it’s pretty safe. You have to ask the locals for good restaurants, otherwise it’ll be shitty carbonara all the way

Bari
Bari is pretty safe. People are polite and help you if needed. Maybe only the railway station is a bit unsafe for the presence of homeless and immigrants but generally they argue with each other and not with tourists. I only reccommand a bit of more attentions in that area. But don't panic anyway!

Necessary to pay attention to pickpockets in the metro and in the night try to avoid walk alone close to the metro stations. It’s important to put the bag in front of you and not talk with everyone, above all close to stations

Camerino
It’s a small town with a very low amount of people from which almost everyone is a student. So basically is like a little town for students and it’s not dangerous at all. Everyone is friendly here, also the locals (which are only a few)

About me
Hello everyone! I'm Elena from Vicenza, a small but lovely city in the northeast of Italy. I'm a curious, cheerful traveler, always ready to step out of my comfort zone. I love getting lost in nature, tasting new foods, diving into adrenaline-filled and authentic experiences, and being amazed by different cultures. When I’m not traveling, I work in project management and sales — but my heart beats for freedom, scribbled-on maps, and those random encounters that turn into unforgettable memories. I'm looking for travel buddies or a place to stay with women like me: respectful, curious, and eager to share a bit of the journey... or a crazy experience that starts with “why not?!”. 🌍✨ Now in my native language: Ciao a tutte! Sono Elena da Vicenza, una piccola ma graziosa città nel nord est dell'Italia. Sono una viaggiatrice curiosa, solare e sempre pronta a mettermi in gioco. Amo perdermi nella natura, assaggiare cibi nuovi, vivere esperienze adrenaliniche e autentiche, e lasciarmi srupire da culture diverse. Quando non viaggio, lavoro nel mondo dei progetti e delle vendite, ma il mio cuore batte forte per la libertà, le mappe piene di appunti e gli incontri casuali che diventano ricordi indimenticabili. Cerco compagne di viaggio o ospitalità da donne come me: rispettose, curiose e con la voglia di condividere un pezzetto di cammino.. o una folle esperienza che inizia con "ma sì, perché no?!". 🌍✨
