When I was in venice i really felt joyful because that day the football team of venezia won some match and everyone was cheering and on their boats with flags and dancing and playing songs loudly. In Venezia you need to walk a lot and the boat ride must do in the day not in the night it’s best in the day! around 4-5 pm

It was beautiful in Rome but you have to be careful with your belongings. Food was delicious and I loved Italian cuisine. You must see the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, especially at night, the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Roman Forum. They are all worth visiting.

I was in Rome on a language course I’ve met a lot of great people. I felt pretty safe there even at night. I’ve heard a lot about pickpockets but thankfully I didn’t had the chance to meet them haha and so did my friends so in my opinion it’s not that common but ofc you need to watch your stuff. The city is very walkable everything is near each other so from one attraction you can walk to another and if not you need to take a bus but busses have their own schedules there so I hope you won’t...

It was my first time traveling there, and I am a black girl who weren’t aware of the racism so it was a bit surprising to me. People didn’t really say much, but their eyes said a lot which made me very uncomfortable and almost broke me couple of times. But as I was traveling with a friend, it kind of made of things a bit better it was during the summer. I still love that might still go back. I was in Rome now that I’m aware aware of things because the city is still beautiful on the culture is...

Sassari it’s pretty safe, I never been in danger and I hang out a lot with my friends . The only thing is that sometimes there are weird people as other places . I would recommend it. I love living in Sassari.

Padova is generally safe. There are guys that will cat-call you but they are mostly harmless. Usually they concentrate around the train station. So I would say to avoid it if possible during the night. But even then, it just seems a bit scary from time to time to walk alone at night. They steal bikes a lot, so I recommend having a good lock for both tires lol

Roma is a safe city when you visit it the day. There is a lot of people and it's quite touristic. Be careful when you go next to the station Termini with your luggage :) I didn't experience Roma by night but I'm pretty sure that the central zone is safe but you have to be very careful if you are next to Termini station.

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!🫂
