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

San Bonifacio
San Bonifacio is a moderately safe city. It is a small city near Verona. During the day it is generally safe, just pay attention to traffic and to your belongings. During the night however I wouldn’t recommend walking around alone. Some streets don’t have proper illumination and some areas (like the station, or Cantine) are known for being a little dangerous. You could find people with bad intentions especially during the night.

Rimini is a little coast city! It’s very safe! Sometimes during summer night due to its nightlife attitude men can be flirty with but nothing of not reasonable! I suggest to not spend the night on the beach cause expect close to the parties area is forbidden!

I’ve only heard of a few pickpocketing incidents since I’ve been here and I’ve been safe walking home alone at night multiple times. While I would advise making smart choices and not walking alone at night if you’re not familiar with the area, the biggest risk is pickpocketing during the day, and even that is more limited in my experience than what you might think.

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?!". 🌍✨
