Florence, Family travel
Florence was amazing. I wandered through the streets, saw the Duomo, and explored the city. Don't forget to walk up the Vialetti del Giardino Bardini. You can have a great view of whole Florence up there. I had some pizza for lunch that was actually pretty affordable, and later bought a gelato at Venchi which was a bit pricey, but totally worth it. Definitely a city I won’t forget.

It was beautiful. So the food was fantastic. Locals were friendly and if we ask about diretions there was always someone who helped us. But for real google is enough and you do not need any other platform.

Ravenna
Ravenna is a small city near to the sea. It is very safe here. There are only about 120.000-130.000 people. The people are nice, very kind and helpful. I would recommend people who love quiet cities to come here.

Milan
Milano is generally safe. During the night you gotta be careful with most of the zones, even ones with tourists. Train and bus stations especially. All suburbs can be dangerous but that's the same other western European countries.

Gorga
Gorga is a small village with 600 people, is on a mountain and is a very safe place. I live in the countryside, isolated, and I have never had thieves inside. Here everyone knows each other andbmy neighbours are very polite.

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?!". 🌍✨

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!🫂
