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.

Milan
Is not that safe, during the day is ok, normally in every area nin the centre and around the centre, but in the night you have to take care of yourself in every area, just because you can meet some random man, not because all areas are unsafe

Turin
Turin is overall a safe city, there are very specific areas that are not safe during the day(behind the “mercato centrale”). During the night some suspicious people are near the stations Porta Nuova and Porta Susa, small gruppo of young adults can make you feel unsafe . In the core of the city you can see homelesses during day and night, but usually they are not dangerous, they are just trying to survive, but just to be sure try to about them.

Naples
Naples is not dangerous in a high-risk sense, but it is a high “petty crime awareness” city. If you behave normally and stay alert in busy areas, it’s very manageable. Many travelers actually end up loving it because it feels lively, authentic, and intense—but not unsafe if you’re street-smart.

Naples
Soo, trying to be objective, I don’t think Naples is that unsafe tbh, especially the historic center. I would however suggest to avoid, even during the day, especially as a girl, piazza garibaldi and the whole train station area. I know it’s cheap but girls, really, don’t stay there. Secondly I would just suggest not to underestimate at night the narrow characteristic streets of the center. It may not look that bad going through some of those streets, and often nothing happens, but recent...

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!🫂
