Italy, Group travel
A group from church went for the Jubilee Year celebration. It was very busy at that time because there were over 2 million youth, but it was still much enjoyable. You can get loads of cute little souvenirs - religious and non-religious. And the food is nice if you choose a good place.

Catania is a beautiful place with many gorgeous things to see. The ocean is fantastic and there is lots of wonderful food to be found. One thing to know though, the streets are full of men and I was catcalled a lot. Not many women or children out in the streets but the city centre is still pretty safe.

Super, I loved it. Truly a city of culture, history, and old stones. The aesthetics of an old book ❤️🔥. It was a bit much having robes distributed at the entrance of a church just because I was a cyclist with shorts just above the knee, while men walked around freely in much shorter shorts. But, well, you have to adapt to local customs and stay open-minded.

I really enjoyed Florence, especially the vibe for a sunset on a hill and the evening and night after. It's sizzling but in a happy and exciting way. The city is really beautiful, and really has a nice 'summer in Italy' vibe, even in February.

Milan
Milan is becoming increasingly dangerous. Certainly, there are worse cities and, above all, more dangerous areas than others, but you still need to be careful. Don't be alone, especially at night, and always keep your bags attached on the subway or in crowded places.

Pisa
I have been living in Pisa for three years now, and I would say it is generally a safe city. Nothing has ever happened to me personally, so I feel comfortable living here. However, near the train station and Piazza Garibaldi, it can feel less safe, especially at night when you are alone. But overall, I would say it is similar to many other cities in that sense.

Lodi
Lodi is little quiet city. I've been living there for a while and nothing ever happend to me. Obv you have to be a little..cunning you know. There are some unspoken rules like: Dont leave your bike locked outside overnight or they will steal it (especially near the station), try to not walk alone at night , esp. in the suburbs ecc ecc

City is overall safe except for barrier di Milano, aurora and nearby area. Well connected with public transport during the day time Be a little careful in the doubtful areas as some pickpocketing also happens. Can use taxi services during the night if public transport for the day has ended. Some monopatino like lime and others are also available so you can also travel using those. Just avoid the weird zones and very shady feeling places and you can be fine.

About me
Hi! I’m Iya — an illustrator, children’s book lover, and slightly obsessed collector of beautiful illustrated books (I’ve stopped pretending I’ll run out of space). I work in publishing, concept art, and art direction, but my favorite thing is creating cozy, whimsical (and sometimes a little spooky) illustrations for children’s books. I love switching between gouache, watercolor, and my iPad — depending on whether I feel like making a mess or keeping things clean. When I’m not drawing, I’m probably watching old movies, eating gelato, traveling, or wandering around cute streets and bookstores. I’m always happy to meet new people — for coffee, a walk, a museum visit, or just a good conversation about art, life, or slightly weird stories. Also, I’m a big animal person, so if you have a dog (or any fluffy creature), we’re already friends.

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!🫂
