About Me

Hi everyone! I'm Rosa a 24 year old student trying to decide what I want to do in my next few years... I've just got my degree in Italian Literature (Lettere Moderne) and I'm now thinking to carry on my studies in this field after spending the summer doing Workaway in Ireland. I am intrigued by the idea of couch surfing as it was recommended to me by fellow workaway friends and I think it's a great opportunity to meet cool new people!

Overall very safe place for travelers! Almost everyone speaks English so communication has never been an issue throughout the time I’ve spent here!  there’s so many things to do and see here, from the main attractions like the Duomo to the local gelato shops, you could spend weeks just exploring the city and not run out of things to do!

I am loving Florence. It’s gorgeous and inspiring. I felt safe most of the time. I recommend staying by nice too rusty spots at night. There’s always people in the nice areas so it’s very safe. Don’t wonder to a new place off the main tourist spots as there are dark alleys. I stayed at the Santa Maria Novella which was a great location. Close to everything and really safe. Their atmosphere is elegant and super fun at night.

I liked Florence because it felt like a romantic cinematic city where I could travel in a natural way, just following my heart and being led to wonderful places, old churches full of beautiful art and history, romantic little cafes , and being able to visit the city by walking everywhere. It is like being in a dream.
