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
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!🫂
