I’ll go with the short story: I’m from Milan, I live in Rome, I’ve been a producer organising commercials, music video, films, series and photo shoots for years now I’ve decided to stop organising other people’s art and start valuing my own vision, I started shooting in analogic and now it’s what I love and what I am.

Solo travel experience

I think it was a good city to solo travel to, my host was very nice and she took me to hidden spots around the city. There were some sketchy guys sometimes but overall it was a safe experience, and the city that time of the year was amazing.

Solo travel experience

I didn't like Milan. It's just a really boring city, other than the cathedral there's nothing to do unless you like fashion and spending money.

Solo travel experience

I went on a solo trip to Milan, Italy, and it was amazing! It was my first time traveling alone, and I didn't speak the language or know much about Italy, but I had a great time. I got lost a lot, but I always managed to find somewhere to eat, which was fun. I felt really safe in the city, and I would definitely recommend it to any women who want to explore and enjoy delicious food. This trip gave me a lot of confidence and reminded me that I'm a strong woman who can handle anything on my own!

I’m thinking of going Milan next week but hotels seem really expensive. Does anyone know cheaper hotel brands in Italy? That maybe wouldn’t be on the usual booking websites.
