Personal comments
I had a lot of luggage to take back home, therefore the idea of sending two suitcases back home BEFORE my departure was very good. I did have extra luggage kilos for which I had to pay when I left, but it would have been a lot more dificult if I hadn't sent part of the luggage in advance.

First of all, the cost of living in Italy is higher in that of my home country (Morocco). In addition, I consider being abroad as an experience that has to be exploited fully!

Personal comments
The historic centre of the town is wonderful. There are many cafes and pubs there. Lecce is also a touristic spot (Baroque architecture; close to te seaside), therefore nightlife was quite intense, especially during the summer time. There were street artists and other artistic events every evening. Just as well, the climate was incredible; I enjoyed the warm evening weather very much.
