Loved Turin, loved the castle and the gardens easily one of the most interesting places I have ever visited. The transport was easy to figure out and the people are nice. Alba, a small town not far from it is absolutely gorgeous, full of vineyards and good wine (Borolo).

It was a calm Italian island, the food was very tasty and the people so welcoming and nice to me. I didn’t feel in risk at all. I went to the close beaches where only the locals are and they were amazing. + I took a ferry to travel arrlund the island and dive in some specific parts

I had heard so many good things about Italy beforehand so my expectations were very high. It was little bit of a letdown for me. It was pretty but not that pretty, the streets were messy and it was extremely hot. We had an amazing and cheap hotel though and some of the attractions were beautiful!

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 !!

It’s a little city, normally very quiet, with just few areas not safe due to drug dealers, especially in the nearby area of the train station. But generally you feel safe everywhere, especially during the day.

The city is generally safe, the worse part is generally close to the station, both front of it and behind it, but in those areas theres usually police or military to make sure everything is ok. When walking around the station, going over the bridge is better than below

not that safe, but don’t sacrifice your life! be a little careful & in groups (2 or 3 is also fine). most of the “dangerous subjects” here are addicts, in case of approach be very clear and don’t fear, but watch out and in case of danger run or scream. the centre of the town is most safe at night. termini is not as dangerous as one might think

Not much safe, expecially on public transport is not rare to hear about aggressions and also baby gangs are to be watched out from. You can walk in the streets at night, but being EXTREMELY cautious, because there are always dark people around, better to be in 2 or a group 👍🏻

Pretty safe, but if you’re travelling alone, have a fake ring to discourage random men from approaching you. Most italian men are respectful, it’s the others to be careful of. People will come up to you asking for direction, trying to tell you things - it could be a scam or a pickpocket (especially young girls).

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?!". 🌍✨
