Group travel

I didn't feel safe, a man touched me while I was walking with my friends. The food was fine, but it was expensive. In the city there wasn't a lot of interesting things to do...

We were group of 10 and we had one amazing Easter in Trieste. We stayed in a bnb up on the hill and it was one hell of a night. The train ride from bologna to Trieste was lit af. I think everyone should visit Trieste

Trieste is having bad episodes recently, like all cities you have to keep your eyes open when walking at night, but during the day I have never had problems, and I have always felt safe, you can meet a particular person with ailments, because we have centers, but they are harmless I still call it a safe city

Trieste is a cozy place to visit! The town isn’t big and also safe! It has a budget-friendly public transport that is actually good! Busses are (mostly) in time, clean and comfortable! I would recommend staying here at least once! It’s an underrated place in Italy without crowds of tourists!

About Me

I am a sunny girl with a boundless love for cooking and a weakness for beauty products (skincare is a mission, not a hobby!). I love being in nature, but first of all come my cats—they are the real kings of the house. Immediately after, my boyfriend, my family and my friends, who fill my life with affection. Ah, and I want to study architecture, because designing beautiful spaces is my fate! I have so much trouble learning English, but slowly I’m getting better 😌
