Florence, Solo travel
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.

Sicily, Solo travel
I was cycling and missed cycle path … but Sicily was beautyful. I loved the sea … The people were great, the food cheap and if you don't want to cycle it's a great island! In the low season you have to plan well, as many things are still closed.

Went there as an Erasmus+ student when i was in highschool. It was a great experience with the people i met, foods i tried i loved them all. They taught us tarantelle we sang together, danced together. So fun

I loved it, there is so much to see, try and discover. Certainly in August it is quite hot and crowded, but it is a beautiful and fun city full of culture and friendly people. You have to take the time to see it in great detail.

Padua
Usually it’s always safe but need to be careful with bicycles, sometimes bad people steal tires rings or the ram. It’s very light at night and recommended not to stay for a while in station area. Very lovely

Milan
Milan is mostly a safe place for women, you can go out for a walk in the evening and get a tram or taxi or walk in the centre of town safely. Mind for pickpockets! Keep your bag ALWAYS in front of you, in particular in the train and metro stations.

Azzano Decimo
Azzano Decimo is a small city and overall really safe, both during the day and at night. As a matter of fact, I cannot think of any really unsafe spots or areas. It is such a small city that one must be really unlucky to have bad encounters (I've never heard it happen).

Brescia is safe especially if you are in public places but not everywhere. In the centre is quite okay but some places are not especially if you walk alone in the empty streets because there are people who does shitty stuff same as what happened to me in the 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!🫂
