italy

Approaching Brenner Pass, and then Innsbruck. i'm broke now so will have to hitch up to Rammstein.

[this is a work in progress and may take a few days to finish. I'm publishing now because STP currently has no long-term stable draft mode and I don't want to lose more work. So there should be more to read here eventually.] Index of previous posts on this trip. Montecorice is the extra...

Greetings from near Montecorice, Italy (south of Salerno and Paestum). Here is my current situation: I'm fairly close to some houses so I'm hoping i won't end up needing to move tonight. (I'm close to the coastal road as well, so I'm wearing my Sony WH-1000XM4's to reduce the noise. It's not a...

Crossed into Italy today and right off I liked it better. But backing up a bit helps explain why. In general more people drive and drive faster in France than in Spain (and maybe Italy) in my opinion. And people are especially packed in along the coast in France between Nice and the Italian...

Hey, with all my gigs getting canceled, I started doing weekly shows on Zoom. If you're bored and looking for something to watch, here's a story about when I was couchsurfing in Italy. If you enjoy it, I also put on comedy shows in conference rooms I rented in London, Paris and Rome. Posting...

I haven´t seen anything about this posted in English-language resources online, so I though I´d share... You can take a big boat from Rome (Grimaldi Lines, 40E) or Genoa (70E?) to Barcelona. Hitching sucks in short days and shitty weather this time of year, the boat lets you take way more...

hello people of stp, how much do you spend monthly on things like food, gear, shelter etc.? i'm really interested how high the expenses of different people, with different lifestyles are. on what do you spend most of your money? for me that would be food, depends on the location though. xoxo

Hi, this thread was totally inspired by this one: https://squattheplanet.com/threads/anything-you-wanna-know-about-living-on-road-in-england.34177/#post-250508 So i figured I would create something similar about Italy... If anyone has a question about living on the road/travelling etc. in...

Need a new start? Idyllic but desperate Italian village offers €2,000 to anyone who wants to move there (and rents of €50 a month) over fears it will turn into a ghost town Cash reward for those who relocate to Bormida in mountainous region of Liguria As well as money boost, they will also be...

Don't get me wrong, Italy is a beautiful place and the people are generally nice. But traveling here hasn't been the greatest. Me and my brother are van camping through Europe and have been for about 5 months so far with few problems. We get to Italy though and the vibe is just a little...

Hi everyone, I want to share my experience in Venice, Italy. Yes, of course by my tittle we get lost, but relax, it didn't end in bad terms, in fact it was pretty good ;) I consider myself as a seasonal traveler. I save all my money over a year so I can spend it on my trips. We spent just 2...

Awesome. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/italy-food-waste-law-supermarkets-a6931681.html * * * * * * Italy is set to pass a law that will make supermarkets donate their waste food to charities. It will become the second European country to pass such laws after the French...

Hi everyone I'm Julnel from Italy. I'm into black metal, crust, and everything (today i go mad with teknopunk so if you have some comrade that play it link it to me please!) I have an anarchist black metal blog and collective and I play in a black metal band. Sorry for my english and hope to...

I've been here in Florence for a few days, and maybe it's just me or the rainy weather, but I'm ready to ditch the idea of going further south to Rome. A younger guy I met at the hostel I'm staying told me it would be worth my time to check out Rome. He's from New Zealand backpacking around the...

"landslide has derailed a train in north-eastern Italy, killing at least nine people and injuring about 30, Italian media say.The accident occurred in a mountain valley near the winter sports town of Merano, close to the Austrian border. Trees prevented the train plunging into a river, and...

There in Milan, Italy, I got off the bus and at the hotel they took our passports. Until 2:00 none of us in the group from the United States of America were allowed to check in. Around the corner was a place where they sold pizza, so there was the next stop. Half the group was already in there...
