A boy once told me it was "a bit tragic" to travel alone. But I think the real tragedy is to not see the places you want to because you're scared of your own company. I'm eating pizza in a Roman piazza and I couldn't be happier about it.

It is quite astounding that the Sabina Nessa murder is not dominating the news. Yes, there has been an arrest, and so there are significant reporting restrictions in place, but the conversations about violence against women, and the stories about her life are sadly lacking.

The ignorance & privilege of this is astounding. Some people have to take jobs that pay the bills - not everyone gets handed a column in the guardian. Junior reporters trying to make a career aren’t guilty of anything.
