One week ago we told about how two guys from different parts of the world felt and lived their first week in Italy, after they moved to Milan for their university exchange programme. Read their story here. But what about girls?
So, here we are again with the Hectic, Adventurous, Warm! first week of Denise Vollebergh, from the Netherlands.
Denise comes from Rotterdam, the place where she was born and where she goes to the Erasmus University for the degree in Communication and Media. She landed in Milan, Italy, just few days ago, the 2nd of September.

My name is Manuela Arroyo, I'm spanish and last year I was living in Italy for the Erasmus Program, precisely in Milan. It's there where my blog was born: De maleta en maleta, Manuela Arroyo, with the aim to fulfill that information lack that I found each time I was on travel to an unknown destination and thus to help who later on would want to visit those places.

My blog is the right place for all those who need hints about different cities, suggestions of hotels and hostels, where to eat and also where to go clubbing. Travel is one of my passions and I showed it last year: never stop moving from one place to another.

Discover that branch of Lake Como which extends southwards…

The most famous piece of Italy for literature lovers, but one of the most beautiful and romantic also for who  loves to travel into the nature to the discovery of enchanting villages. Lake Como, with one of the most renowned towns that overlook its shores, Cernobbio, is the next destination we find in our long trip around Italy.

Lake Como

Lake Como, with its upside-down Y form, gave to the world the inventor Alessandro Volta and the writer Alessandro Manzoni, who set the book I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed) the branch of the lake that contains Lecco.

For a trip to the Alps it’s always high season...

Italy is a worldwide dreamed destination for its millenary history, for its precious artworks of all times, for its calm mediterranean beaches… But also for the most fashion ski resorts in the world, competing with neighbour countries that share the same mountain chain, the Alps.

Along all the italian borders with continental Europe there are gorgeus peaks, passes and valleys with enchanting mountain villages. The first two destinations we are going to discover in our blog’s travel are the closest to Milan, upon the Alps of Lombardy and at the border with Switzerland: Livigno and Bormio, ancient villages today surrounded by popular ski centers.

Addict to fashion? Milan is the drug... and much more!

There are some cities in Italy that don’t need any introduction. One of these is Milan, the fourth gadders destination that we are meeting on our travel through italian beauties. But what is needed is that you discover its multiple faces hidden behind the mask of sad and cloudy business capital.

Tourists choose it for fashion, opera, the cathedral, the castle and the fresco of the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, but Milan is mainly the Italian capital of business and finance. The shops are so many, the restaurants delicious and the nightlife very lively.
