Italy, Couple travel
Your eyes and soul will definitely be filled with art. But your stomach will be full too. The food is delicious and cheap, and everywhere you look you can see a piece of art. The people are cheerful, and that will make you feel happy as well. Wine tastings in Tuscany, evening street entertainment in Florence, unique museums, gelato and pasta will make you feel truly alive. Yes, this is a place for me where I can say, ‘Yes, I’m truly living this life

Milan, Solo travel
The cuisine was amazing and I definitely want to travel again to Italy once again...From my experience Milan is a very walkable city and you rarely need to take public transport. I went to Milan mid January, so there weren't that many people. I was able to safely solo travel around the city both at day and night time. I was quite scared to walk alone at night because I heard not so great experiences from past travelers, but since it wasn't summer season the streets were empty at night.

Lido di Camaiore, Solo travel
Hosted by a nice family and helped with babysitting and pet care. Spent free time roaming the small town and the adorable nearby attractions like lakes, chapels and markets. Travelled alone to the major cities on the weekends and felt very safe. The only issues were with public transportation.

Trapani, Solo travel
I absolutely don't recommend going to Trapani. It's too small and boring, I was approached by very strange people multiple times, the prices on groceries were more expensive than in Norway. I'm glad I speak Italian because if I didn't, I might not have escaped that city. Buses are not shown on google maps, and if not a kind bus driver who made en extra hook to help me get to my apartment, I'd have to walk for 55 minutes with all my bags. Trapani is the place I felt most unsafe at in Sicily,...

Reggio nell'Emilia
At night not safe. During the day station and the street around that area is not safe. For women expecially. The centre is moderate but not at night and not alone. Stay safe everyoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The train station + bus station area and the streets nearby aren't the best place to be alone during late hours. It doesn't even feel the best place during daytime but at least there's a lot of people.

Teolo and its province are very safe! It’s a chill place near the thermal area, and there are amazing views. It’s an unique place in the middle of the Euganean Hills. The food is also very great. Spring is the best period to come.

In total it’s a safe city for me But there is this areas to avoid at night and after the closing hours specifically if you’re alone Areas around principe station and vicoli’s On the weekend vicoli’s considered safe because all the bars are open and it’s crowded

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!🫂

About me
Hello my name is Irene and im 26. I love animals, nature, science. My goal this year is to leave my comfort zone and travel more, even though it scares me, especially in the nordics. Im generally introverted, so i don't really like crowded and loud places. I like going where no one else is, finding quiet corners
