Going to spend next 2 1/2 years near Pisa, Italy.

Anyone have any experience living there and good shit to do?

take trains/buses all over the place, see all the major cities

sorrento/isle of capri especially

Pisa is practically a day trip kind of place, sucks you're not near somewhere bigger

^ take trains to all of Europe. Its only like a couple hr ride to anywhere in europe. Britain via the channel tunnel. Hell go all the way to Moscow if you want.

I lived in Italy and it was the worst experience of my life. It was Florence, wich is nasty dirty and I had to step over homeless people sometimes to get out of my building.

Pisa is much nicer so you shouldn't have these problems- oh wait near. even better. As long as your not in a city- you're golden!
There is lots of traveling to do and things to see. One of the musts that I recommend is Capri. There was a hostel there named hermes that is good. Capri is one of the most beautiful places!

Orvieto, Cesi, Assissi...Rome of course...Cinqueterre, Torre Orsina, San Pietro en Vale. I got a list of places in Umbria...if you want it PM me.

Everywhere else you can get to in Europe by train

^I also hated Florence, so I didn't stay long...I imagine if I went outside of tourist season I would have enjoyed it though
