Italy is one of
Journeywoman's favorite destinations. There is just so
much to enjoy.  We
love the food, fashion, culture, extraordinary scenery
and the absolute music of the Italian language. We've
travelled to Italy solo, with girlfriends and on a group
learning holiday. Each had its own perfect pleasure. Each
provided its own perfect memories.
Perhaps
you haven't tried Italy yet? Or, maybe you love it so
much you can't wait to get back. Either way we've collected
a wonderful sampling of 20 ways to enjoy Italia alone,
with friends, family or with a complete new group of travellers.
Take your pick, ladies. They all sound fabulous to us.
Enjoy!

| Bonus
tip! Convents offer accommodation in Italy...
 I'd
like women travelling to Rome to know that along with
welcoming pilgrims, many convents are now opening their
doors to international tourists. Some convents offer regular
hotel-type accommodations while others remain very basic
-- no TV, bar or telephone. Breakfasts are often included
and some convents even serve lovely budget dinners cooked
and served by the nuns. Chances are you'll be meeting
very interesting travellers from around the world. Of
course safety, spirituality and reasonable curfew reign
supreme at all of these establishments. For further information
