Italy was amazing! Milan was a bit sketchy in the evening. Dolomites are AMAZING!!!! Be careful when driving though because the roads are very curvy. Rome was so fun we took electric scooters and toured the whole city.

The best place in Europę for me!! Beautiful old town, Coloseum, i felt everything from the past. Except that i love this food and people who are very funny and talkative. I also was in the club and had a great time !!

Travelled with fam and friends. Stayed centrally but also spent some time in Trastevere. The city is like one big archeological site. Looking forward to visiting again in the future with just the fam.

I’ve been to Rome a few times, once with friends and a few times alone. I felt pretty safe by myself and with friends, but I didn’t really walk alone at night and I don’t think I would, but I wouldn’t do it anywhere except for my neighborhood in my country. But during the day and evening I wasn’t worried about anything, I heard a lot about pickpockets but fortunately didn’t see any, it’s just important to look at your belongings

Let me lead with this may be unpopular opinion: may be one of my least favorite places I've visited. Hear me out! Pros: BEAUTIFUL. Truly breathtaking in the area. Great food. I think everything we ate was superb. Pretty affordable. There are some tourist trap-y spaces but overall we found it very affordable. Cons: Probably some of the rudest people I'VE met. (I promise I'm an annoying American trying to own every space!) Kind of unsafe in terms of female travel/general safety. (My best friend was shielded from a fight when I ran to the bathroom at a bar & we felt the need to stay alert around...

Rome
Roma termini is the most dangerous area of Rome, make sure to be careful with your bags and skin, people has been stabbed there. Remain inside the station, better that going outside, specially at night

During the day Rome is a safe city however at night some parts of the city is dangerous. You might wanna avoid the Termini station and near it at night considering a lot of crimes are happening there.

Pineto
The only thing that can happen in Pineto is your bike being stolen. It's a small town, a family vacation destination, so it's very quiet. But there's plenty of fun to be had! In the winter, people gather in the bars, and walking in the evenings isn't a problem. In the summer, there are always lots of people out and about, and it's very safe.

There are streets to avoid in San Salvario and Barriera di Milano because of high level of drugs. Otherwise still in that neighborhoods is a lot of art to see and if you need some advice I can help you

Milan
Milan is generally safe during the day, you always have to be aware of your surroundings in crowded areas because pickpockets are there, as in every big city! At night is a bit unsafer, make sure you’re in an area where there are lots of people and avoid the areas around stations or far from the city centre!

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?!". 🌍✨
