Italy was amazing! 🇮🇹 The food was very delicious, the scenery was so beautiful, and the people were so friendly and kind and joyful. I really enjoyed my time there and would love to visit again someday. ❤️

It was really good experience for me because of my dear friend Zunaira:) I met with her from this application and she was so cheerful,hospitable and friendly. I had been in Bologna, Florence and Venice.

Venezia-Murano-Burano, Solo travel
I’m sharing my experience from the Murano, Torcello, and Burano tour. First of all, I’d recommend skipping tours that include Torcello and visiting only Murano and Burano. There’s not much to see in Torcello, and stopping there reduces the time you can spend exploring the other islands. Also, try not to buy from the first shops you come across. In my experience, the farther you go the cheaper the prices tend to be, A good way to do Venice with the tour from Milan is to take the frecciarossa...

Milan
TBH it’s not unsafe during the day, sometimes it quite unsafe at night but overall I would say Milan is safe and convenient to travel around, people here are very respectful and avoid doing harm to travellers.

Moderate safe. You have to stay alert in some specific areas, such as nearby the train station. Crimes in this city are mostly pickpocketing, drunk people fighting each other at locale events, some catcalling here and there... As a girl, you are overall medium safe but you have to stay alert and don't trust easily people you don't know.

i really do not feel safe walking alone anywhere as a young woman. many times i noticed i was being followed, and often men make disgusting comments. even though i said this, it happens all over the world and i would not say its the most dangerous city

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.

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!🫂
