Rome, Family travel
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 the men in the area). It's hard to explain but we just felt more guarded. Not entirely a negative but be prepared to climb lol it contributes to the beautiful views but damn were we winded 😂 I've visited other places in Italy but with my husband (Naples was with my best friend) & didn't feel the same rudeness and general unwelcome atmosphere but boy is it beautiful! I'd give it another chance though!

2 asian girlies spend a weekend in Rome, we were outside even until 11pm, but everything was nice! we did feel unsafe a bit, but eventually nothing bad happened, no creepy people, no pickpockets, just unfriendly looks from others lmao

I traveled by some cities in Veneto visiting museums, historical monuments and beautiful spots in nature. I loved the family that received me in their house, they gave me the local experience that I was looking for.

The city I live in is a very safe and calm environment. My parents chose to move here when I was little, together with my three siblings, and we grew up here as kids. That choice was about safety, stability, and quality of life, and those values are still very present today.

Bolzano is generally a safe and calm city. Like anywhere, it has busier areas and quieter ones, but overall it feels comfortable and well organized. I usually feel at ease getting around during the day and in the evening, especially in the city center. After midnight there’s no public transport, so things get very quiet.

Safety in Vicenza is good, but recently close to the train station there is a lot of drugs. In downtown you have no problem, but in the night take care and you travel always with other travellers, if you can.

It is overall safe especially in the city center. I like walking around the city and I still feel safe alone also in the evening or night time. Even if you are alone and it's late you should not have any problem

Even tho it has sketchy areas that seem unsafe, it's not really. Police is constantly doing rounds and, even if some vicolis may look intimidating, there's very little real danger. People avoid via Pre because it's dirty and it's mostly populated by imigrant people but it has some good authentic italian places like the salumeria place and another one with pasta and spices held by the loveliest lady. Also, two of the best Ligurian cuisine restaurants are there (l'acciugetta and pre boggion). Don't be afraid to go there(but, sure, don't hold your valuables in the back pocket)

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
I work at the intersection of sustainability, risk and strategy. Curious by nature, data-driven by training, global-minded by choice. I love meaningful work, deep conversations, solo travel, diving into new cultures (and oceans), turning complex problems into practical solutions and anything that pushes me outside my comfort zone. Always learning, always moving. I value independence, depth and respect. Ambitious, thoughtful and allergic to complacency. @8valens check my instagram profile for more info or just to write me if you can't here ☺️👋🏻
